UPDATE: We have now sold out of copies of signed FOOLED AGAIN books, but hope to offer more such premiums to BRAD BLOG readers in the near future! Of course, we still welcome your donations to help us continue our work here. Thanks to all for your support!
Congratulations to Mark Crispin Miller, whose FOOLED AGAIN: The Real Case for Electoral Reform will be released in an all-new, updated paperback edition next week!
Mark’s added a monster 100 page update to bring things up to date since the 2006 election and tells me that he’s drawn heavily from The BRAD BLOG’s reporting in the new chapter. Haven’t seen it yet, but I’m told one is on the way and I’m looking forward to it.
(UPDATE: My copy just arrived, and a quick thumbing through the new chapter, “Afterword: State of Denial” reveals all manner of cool stuff, like the Clint Curtis/Tom Feeney story, San Diego’s Busby/Bilbray voting machine “sleepover” debacle, the ACVR, the Holt Bill, RFK Jr. entering the issue, and more, much of which has never made it into print until now! More thoughts on it all after I get to read the new stuff in full.)
To help launch next week’s new release, he and his publishers have made a number of personally signed copies available as premiums for BRAD BLOG contributors! As usual, it’s first come, first served, so please act now to get your own signed, updated copy of this landmark book while helping out one of your favorite blogs (that would be us!) at the same time!
To get your own signed copy as soon as they’re available, choose one of the options below…
1) All new Monthly Subscribers of $20 or more (use the blue form at right to sign up quickly), or;
2) A One-Time $50 or more Online Donation (click here), or;

Thanks in advance! As well, a huge thanks to Mark and his publishers for their generous support of The BRAD BLOG!
Done. Brad, please sign it too!
Happy to do so for those who request it (in this case, that would be just Dredd so far 🙂
See what the Voting Machine Lobby says about HR 811:
Do you know if Miller was able to talk to Feeney?

Brad:
My $50 is there now. As noted in the NOTES section of the PayPal payment, I’d like the Bradmeister’s signature as well.
Some day, you’ll get an award for your attempts (hopefully successful) to save the electoral process in America from the Rethuglican crooks and passive Corporate Democrats who would corrupt and destoy it.

Thanks, Charlie. Will be happy to sign your book as well.
As to the future award, I’ll look forward to it, though in the meantime, I’m happy for the few folks able to support my work via this Premium offer! (I’ll take what I can get as things are right now! 🙁 )
I’m so sorry!
Mark Crispin AND Brad are absolute hero’s of mine but I am down to the absolute wire on my finances and haven’t had any health insurance for over a year. I refuse to take the last tiny bit of my retirement out and pay 30% taxes on it.
I’ve been looking hard for work, I really have. I am offering any hours, any overtime, and the shirt off my back, but the only thing I can get is temp work on a day to day basis. Don’t cry for me though, I’m way better off then any soldier in Iraq…
