Harvey Wasserman's Essay

Dear Harvey  

I was browsing the internet and ran across this article:  Why Did John Kerry Abandon His Crew (US!) in Battle?  Intrigued, I looked you up and got through about half of: Bush is history's top terrorist,  when I had seen enough.  Fortunate for you Harvey, you enjoy the right of free speech, no matter how skewed or off-base you are.  Unlike you, many thousands of courageous men have given their lives in brutal conflict so that you can have that right.  While you were smoking dope on Montague, hiding from your obligations as an American and as a man, young men were dying in Vietnam paying your dues.

People like you disgust me Harvey. Like your hippie friends, you're so far removed from reality, it's impossible to even have an intelligent dialog with your kind.  The majority of Americans think like me Harvey.  Get used to it.  Or better yet, pack up your belongings and move far far away.  Some place where you can be surrounded by socialists and communists and feel right at home.  I can only imagine what the economy would be like.  :-)

Do not stop

GOOD AFTERNOON

I ENJOYED READING SEVERAL OF YOUR VERY GOOD ARTICLES.
YES, THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN AND DUBYA, WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR ANY OF US.

  DO ALL YOU CAN TO GET THE VOTES RECOUNTED AND MAYBE SOME WAY THE INAUGURATION WILL BE STOPPED AND HE WILL GET A SMALLER OFFICE IN ALASKA.  

FOR HEAVEN SAKE, DO NOT QUIT, DO NOT STOP, HOLD ON, FIGHT LIKE WILD MEN, AND STOP THE MAD MAN.
I AM AN OLD MAN, 70 NEXT MONTH, AND I NEVER DREAMED OF ANYONE DOING WHAT THIS EVIL THING HAS DONE.  

TAKE GOOD CARE.

Harvey - tell it like it is brotha'

oooh and can yah spare me a dime, 'cos I sure do think I am gonna need it!  After all -- what do we have to look forward to but more rising costs?

  You must know that certain organizations tried to reach their organizers nationally.  They wanted to know what to do if the elections were lost ... I said to one organizer:  CALL our representatives and make sure that they do their job, make sure that they don't become jellies and back down. We should put pressure on the people who need to do their jobs and not let them be stupid.  He did not care for my answer - and did not call me back.  I guess that I wasn't saying the right things - not demonstration type enough.  On the morning of the elections, I got up and called everyone and anyone - "don't let kerry concede!"  By afternoon he conceded.

It was not only Kerry's failing, unfortunately - it was ours.

Condi to succeed Blair

Condoleeza Rice is the perfect choice for Secretary of State only if you believe that the highest post in the Cabinet should be occupied by a jellyfish. Colin Powell was weak when the time came to stand up for his principles. But at least he had some beliefs to abandon, and a rudimentary backbone to support them. Rice will never be accused of being too forthright in telling the boss what she thinks, because she will never tell him anything in the first place. She will report to the Oval Office each morning and be told what the President believes, which she will then dutifully announce to the media as her own “policy” for the State Department of the United States.

Those who have been outraged to hear British Prime Minister Tony Blair described as “Bush’s Poodle” should be overjoyed at the Rice appointment. Blair is about to get a promotion. Compared to Condoleeza Rice, Tony Blair is Bush’s Rottweiler.

Public Hearing on Election Irregularities

I'm writing to congratulate you on your efforts to expose this "obvious" hoax that BUSH won our election. How disgraceful that in our day and time we find out that our vote pretty much didn't count at all. My children are disappointed that our society is run by rich people who seek only to line their own pockets, at the expense of lives out in Iraq. I read in the paper that the day our soldiers found out bush was re-elected, one of them went out to the fields and shot himself in the head! What is going on?

  There are so many things that we as tax payers do not know about our government and the extent they will go to for money. JOHN KERRY won this election as everyone knows he did. Bush, the puppet for these rich folk, is going to see a new beginning. America is OURS, and our vote WILL count, and he, as well as all republicans are not going to cheat us ever again. I'm going to pray that you make a difference for my children, may GOD almighty protect and shield you all from the face of the enemy. Bless YOU.

Just proves again....

His early concession and failure to uphold the promise that he will make every vote count is more proof that John Kerry never tried to win this election.

With the President's horrible record, most would think that it would be easy to defeat him. It should have been. Kerry failed to call the President out on letting special interest groups slander one of his veteran's name.

He did nothing to expose Karl Rove's tactics of homosexual scapegoating and the exlploitation of Christianity that brought so many substance-blind voters to the polls.

He never did the right thing and potray the truth about the Bush Administration, that they are warmongering, agenda-driven criminals that give no validity to reason and compassion. Nope, John Kerry did none of those things.

John Kerry did a horrible job at talking to the good ole' folk in rural Ohio in a manner that they could relate. Instead, he remained robotic and out of touch.

And then, with the presidential race down to 100,000 votes, with voting problems reported in Ohio counties early in the day and a biased Republican pawn presiding over the fate of the state, Kerry

I support Ohio's request for a fair election accounting

Bob,

I am support the people of Ohio in their request of a fair accounting of all the votes in the 2004 presidential election. It is important to all of us Americans, regardless of party, that democracy be preserved by safeguarding the vote of *every* citizen.

Sincerely,

Ohio - FVAP gave wrong mailing addresses

Dear Madam and/or Sir,  

There was one item you did not mention in your article "Twelve Ways Bush is stealing the election".  I am from Ohio and living Overseas.  The FVAP (Federal Assistance Voting Program) which is run by the DoD gave 17 incorrect mailing addresses out of 88 counties.  One of those counties was Franklin County which is one of the largest in the state.   

Here is the FVAP website:  

www.fvap.gov/pubs/vag.html  

Attached is the spreadsheet I made of the counties that have incorrect addresses.  I called every county election board that did not match the address on the Project Vote Smart website to verify their address.  As a volunteer for Overseas Vote, we received emails from hundreds of voters from Ohio who did not get registered properly.  The number could be in the thousands since many Ohioans living overseas do not know who to contact.  

Closing the Circle: The Corporatization of Elections

Renewed concerns have been raised since the election about the accuracy and accountability of electronic voting machines. Numerous charges have surfaced in Ohio and elsewhere that, among other problems, voters touched the name on the screen for one Presidential candidate but a vote was cast for another candidate. The overall general concern is that only electronic voting corporation officials have access to the computer code(s) while the public is left out of the vote counting equation. Public Board of Election officials are replaced by Election Systems & Software (ES&S) corporation, Sequioa corporation and Ohio-based Diebold Election Systems corporation-programmed machines to tabulate votes in public elections.

The increasing corporatization of vote counting is simply a step in closing the circle of corporatization of Presidential elections in our society.

At the "front end" of the process, business corporations, thanks to federal court decisions declaring that corporations are "persons," increasingly influence elections by determining who will be "electable, " that is who has the

Just Say No

Nancy Reagan coined the phrase, “Just Say No”, as an expression of what she felt would be an effective means to fight illegal drug use in this country. If we as a nation simply refused to either purchase or use these drugs, despite temptation and ready availability, then the drug problem would cease to exist. The supply of drugs in the world would not matter, as there would be no demand. As a drug prevention strategy, “Just Say No” failed miserably.

Our country is now addicted to preemptive war. Judging from election totals, Bush now does, just barely mind you, have the “political capital” to do whatever he wants, including the invasion of any country he wishes to conquer and occupy. We who believe the war in Iraq is morally wrong, and that coming conflicts in Syria, Iran and North Korea will be equally indefensible, must do something about it.
