Here is another way to let the Commission know what our concerns are (from the AU website I posted in #2):
What is the purpose of the Commission?
The purpose of the Carter-Baker Commission is to study the electoral process in the U.S. and make recommendations for improvements. Commission members will formulate more specific issues for discussion as they hold hearings and confer. Their findings and recommendations will be published in the Commission's report, scheduled for release in September 2005.
How can I submit comments or questions to the Commission?
All questions and comments may be submitted in writing to:
Carter-Baker Commission on Federal Election Reform
c/o AU Center for Democracy and Election Management
3201 New Mexico Avenue, NW Suite 265
Washington, DC 20016-8026
E-Mail: cdem@american.edu
How may I volunteer to testify at a Commission hearing?
The Commission has enlisted an informal group of Academic Advisors in order to identify hearing topics and panelists. We are also consulting with a network of advocacy groups and other non-governmental organizations with an interest in elections and election reform to ensure that all views and research are considered. However, with only two hearings and a limited amount of time for each, there will be many deserving candidates who will not get to appear before the Commission. We will make every effort possible to ensure that the Commissioners receive copies of insightful comments and suggestions submitted in writing."

I tried earlier to send mine, but after I clicked "Send" the connection failed and the site timed out. I'll try again later.

Yes, Brad - "boots on the ground" - the good guys must keep moving and keep ahead of the bad guys. Will they ever be shocked at your informed PERSISTENCE. If they keep this up, Americans will soon be standing in the streets shouting for the resignation of the Bush administration. I can hardly wait!!!!!

Woops! I was just over at VR, sending my email, and received THIS message:
"We are sorry, you have already sent this mailing. Unlike the other guys, we play fair!"
Well, I do to, but I was under the evidently mistaken impression that my first attempt had failed (see #8).

The Carter-Baker fix/hoodwink is on C-Span now. Carter just spoke calling James A Baker his 2nd-best republican friend!
I can only guess how he feels about the American people, but certainly much less than his favorite criminal friends.
