Elect two heroins from california (Bowen, Pelosi) and guess what ...

It has begun. The psychological barrier has been broken. The House passed 218-212 the funding bill that includes a way out of Iraq. Good!

There is hope still ...

Excellent! Thank you SoS Bowen and THANK YOU Brad!!

This has made my whole day, after the dropping of the congressional 50th suit.

2 women who were NOT elected to anything, and stink, are Condi Rice and Jean Schmidt. Jean Schmidt is assured of 51%-49% "victories" every 2 years...I think they have the results out for Schmidt's 2008 election: "51%-49%--->Schmidt".

I hope everyone notices that what Bowen posted is a 'draft', NOT the final requirements AND that she is -apparently- willing to ignore the fact that the Federal 'qualifiers' under the NASED and EAC have/did NOT ensure these voting systems met the applicable Federal standards.
And that the 'draft' does not address accuracy at all.
So put the comments in regarding these facts and see what the 'final' requirements turn out to be.
The 'fat lady' is a long way from singing.

Bruece, like she's going to require all of this, and not require accuracy testing?

Comment #1 Dredd
Beauty--ful Bowen yes.

Pelosi --impeachment off the table and increasing the war funding -no way. The lie is that we can't bring the troops home from bush's illegal oil war - right now 2007 - safely.

The bushit administration are lying murderous criminals and need to be indicted starting with their 9/11 wargames. That is unless she or any other Congressmen can explain how 3 steel concrete building neatly fell down in their own footprint. You want a blowjob to impeach? Building #7 was a pure neo-con blow job and no arabs required.

Once impeachment was taken off the table, the fix was in. Continued funding of the war and allowing Bush the executive powers of war he grabbed after doing 9/11 was the icing on the cake.

Ghouls of the Thor Hearne ACVR scandal have arisen, and it isn't even halloween yet.

We now have a link to the new US Attorney in Arkansas, who was Rove's point man on "voter fraud" (anti-minority dems), and Rove and the ACVR conspiracy.

Check this out:

Another newly installed U.S. attorney, Tim Griffin in Little Rock, Ark., was accused of participating in efforts to suppress Democratic votes in Florida during the 2004 presidential election while he was a research director for the Republican National Committee.

(Link Here, emphasis added).

Before last year's election, I posted this:

The fact of the matter is that election felonies are being directed from the White House itself:

The fourth man indicted in a New Hampshire phone-jamming scheme --- in which Republican operatives jammed the phone lines of Democratic get-out-the-vote efforts in a 2002 Senate race --- will argue at trial that the Bush Administration and the national Republican Party gave their approval to the plan, according to a motion filed by his attorney Thursday.

(Raw Story, bold added).

It turns out that Bradblog was on the right trail when this was happening behind the scenes:

Suffice to say, Karl Rove spoke to Republican lawyers this weekend (carried on C-SPAN) and thanked them for their work ensuring "clean elections" in 2000 and 2004.

He singled out Mark F. "Thor" Hearne by name. Hearne was the National General Counsel for Bush/Cheney '04 Inc. who, along with RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke, created the so-called non-partisan "American Center for Voting Rights" (ACVR) just three days before being called to testify before Rep. Bob Ney's (R-OH) U.S. House Administrative Committee hearing in March of 2005 on the Ohio Election. The front group, which declared tax-exempt 501(c)3 status, has still failed, to our knowledge, to disclose any information of it's funders or proof of their 501(c)3 non-profit, non-partisan status. They operate out of a PO Box in Houston, TX, though neither of their founders live in Texas.

ACVR was the only "Voting Rights" group called by Ney to testify at the hearings, and identified himself only as a "longtime advocate of voter rights" in his testimony. He failed to mention his connections to Bush/Cheney '04 Inc.

(Bradblog Article, emphasis added).

Ney is now in prison where Gonzales and Rove should go ... after all Scooter will be there too.

Bottom Line: Rove ran the largest criminal election fraud organization in American history ... directly from the White House!

Its a great start. We still have stop voter purges, intimidation and other techniques used to steal elections.
We all need to continue support Debra, Brad, Bev and other Patriots working towards truly fair elections.

Brantl,, again I ask people to remember that it is a 'draft' and the draft does NOT specify accuracy testing AND appears to ignore the issue of what has occurred re the Federal qualification process.
Please don't assume such accuracy testing will be done, write and specify that such much be done and that the only accepted standards be those of the Federal standards and that extrapolation from a subset of volume is NOT the same as full volume testing per the Federal standards. While I'm fully supportive of SOS Bowen's efforts, everyone should be aware that she does not support banning DRE's and does support HR811 as per her testimony in Washington this past week.

Everyone should inspect the language in her criteria before celebrating. Like "untraceable vote tampering". What is that? If it's untraceable, then how does one know it ever existed? You can't prove it existed because it's "untraceable".
Also, she says that she "may" initiate the process to withdraw certification. We don't need "may" - we need "SHALL" initiate the process.... No loopholes!
If you want to make changes to her 'draft criteria', you have until March 30th.

I voted for Debra.

But. I'll believe it when I see it. I figured she'd smack some heads together, and get this all done asap.

but were waiting still.....................

Should I hold my breath?
