   John

   Do you have a link to the “Precise Voting” website?

   That is a hopeful event … yet … I think most will have had enough of the election machine age … what a joke … at least until we use paper ballots and hand counts for a few years.

   Make them prove themselves before we accept them!

   Billions of our tax dollars wasted just to screw us and line the pockets of incompetent companies.

   We are so sick of this travesty.

   Dredd,
   Try Here

   We are now finding out that this company may have been started by Congressman Rush Holt’s (HR-550 writer) ex-press secretary.

   The machines seem to have been designed to do everything that we would want them to do but I am taking a wait and see stance until I know a lot more.

   Thanks John.

   I just wrote my ISP a letter. It may apply to the electronic voting debacle, in that, anytime a modem is used it goes thru a phone company’s lines.

   By all accounts these lines are piped thru the NSA computers. So, even voting data is exposed by those who say “trust us”. It is a faith based system.

   The letter said:

   To Whom It May Concern,

   I think it sucks when monopolies jump in bed with corrupt politicians and conspire to deprive Americans of their privacy rights.

   Companies which do that should go down, and go down hard.

   I am trying to find a way to do all of my Internet access, telephone usage, and everything else with companies that do not prostitute themselves to dictatorial ambitions of doubtful government actions.

   I am joing movements involving millions of people to hopefully insure that all such companies suffer for their unbridled shame.

   It was inspired by this week’s article by John Dean. In it he said something you as a watcher would appreciate: “We are sliding down the slippery slope” (link here).
