   I love you Brad, but am I mistaken in believing that
   your website is strictly dedicated to only voting issues? I seem to remember your covering the whole gamut of issues, but not anymore.

   Just curious.

   John,

   I think the idea is — this issue, election integrity, comes before ALL others. We have nothing if not the vote — we are just pawns in a criminal global oligarchy. They control our elections and our media and even the planned demolitions they call ‘terrorist’ attacks. We are ruled. An unelected tyrannical criminal cabal runs our country, our courts and our Congress and (they hope) the world.

   So — What else could Brad work on that is more important than restoring our Constitutional democracy by restoring elections? Next step, pitchforks and torches — or maybe we are there already? There is no other issue that even comes close.

   I think that’s the reason. And I love you too, Brad.

   Happy Blue New Year everyone!

   Well said Ginny, the old saying jack of all trades master of none comes to mind. Somebody needed to champion this issue, if it werent for Brad I doubt if it would have made it to the CMSM. Having said that, I’d love to see more issues covered on the green and gold blog when possible.

   Thanks Doug and Ginny and you’re right John. This is not and Election Integrity blog only. It’s just become that of late as the need for real reportage on the matter has grown considerably over time.

   At the same time, I still try to cover many other things (when possible) and hope to find a few more Guest Bloggers out there (along with some additional other plans to be announced later when finalized) to help bring more of a general mix to the coverage here.

   Thanks for your patience and understanding in the meantime, and I’ll associate myself with Ginny’s comments in that this particular issue seems to trump so many others, ultimately, if you think about it (as I obviously have).

   But that said, I’d still like to broaden the coverage wherever it’s possible, and I continue to work on a few things to do that. Slow as it is (resources quite short).

   A quick look at the three part “Year in Review 2006”, however, should reveal just how much we do cover (other than Election Integrity stuff) when viewed from a Helicopter.

   True this is an integral issue, but I’m beginning to think that in order for any REAL change to occur we’ll need to “clean house”… hearings… impeachments… call me crazy, but I’m just not confident that shining a light on it will be enough when you still have the fox guarding the henhouse.

   Always great to hear Brad and Peter talking about the most important issue ever. Peaceful transition of government through honest voting.

   Yep, democracy is a sham without the concept of accountability.

   Accountability is vote driven.

   So the whole thing rests upon a foundation of election integrity.

   Any democratic nation is only as good as its election system, the mother of accountability.

   In general the bloggers here do not want a prostitute of the oil barons, the corporate buckocracy, and the military-industrial complex to be our mother.
