‘Daily Voting News’ For July 20, 2007

Share article:

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

The New York Times reports today that state and local government organizations and the disabilities groups have had their say and Congressman Rush Holt’s HR-811 is being withdrawn so it can go back and be rewritten to appease the special interest groups. Special interests have spoken and are heard; the voters speak and are ignored. Meanwhile Senator Feinstein’s S-1487 is scheduled for a Rules committee hearing next Wed. Have any of our Senator’s read this legislation? One has to wonder because Senators like Bernie Sanders, Clinton, Kennedy, Obama, and Boxer have all co-sponsored a bill that takes any control of our elections that the voters have left and gives it all to corporations and a federal agency that has been a miserable failure, the Election Assistance Commission. If this bill had been the law in 2003 Bev Harris would never have been able to give the Diebold code she found on an ftp site to Avi Rubin and the infamous Diebold emails would never have come to light. Next Wed. Senator Clinton is scheduled to testify in support of this dangerous bill. It’s “Alice in Wonderland” all over again….

      What is wrong with these people? How can they be so clueless at this stage? Can nothing get through their thick skulls? Incredible. As usual, Overwhelmingly Fascist Mainstream Media again spreads disinformation demonstrates a skewered sense of priorities. Don’t let them take control of the internet.

      I don’t think there is anything wrong with those people…THEY ARE LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR CORPORATE INTEREST.

      I do think their is something wrong with the people who look to them for leadership and get…well…you can read.

      THE

      DEMOCRATIC

      LEADERSHIP

      WOULD

      LIKE

      TO

      SAY

      “WE DON’T CARE ABOUT COUNTING THE VOTES”

      OR
