Blogged by Brad from the Show Me State…<\/i><\/p>\n
Looks like the Republican National Committee is getting a particularly early start in their attempts to steal next year’s election. And from the looks of Paul Kiel’s report<\/a> on the deceptive RNC letter<\/a> sent to a life-long Democratic voter in the Show Me State, once again Missouri may be ground zero in 2008.<\/p>\n All of which is swell, because we happen to be in Missouri this week, and plan to speak to folks in St. Louis next Thursday at an event sponsored by Missourians for Honest Elections<\/a> (yes, there still are a few, including MO SoS Robin Carnahan, whose office contacted us to chat a bit yesterday upon seeing we’d be in town). We’ll be causing trouble in Thor Hearne Country<\/a>, firing up the troops, and taking questions, after a showing of Dorothy Fadiman’s superb documentary Stealing America: Vote by Vote<\/i> (which we’re told is being submitted for Academy Award nomination).<\/p>\n See Kiel’s story<\/a> for the details on the GOP’s latest efforts to game democracy and fool voters, instead of impressing them with actual ideas and policy, as that’s what this quick item was meant to be about. But otherwise, if you’re in or near St. Louis, please stop by Eliot Church in Kirkwood next Thursday night!
