Here is a good response that someone wrote.
Thei ID is MAX, it's not me, but I concur.

An Inspiring video

That's red hot stuff!
I'm eager to read the article!

" One of the election integrity advocates involved in research and development with Kennedy on the story told us a number of weeks ago that "[Kennedy] essentially says everything that those of us who have been contending there was massive chicanery in the '04 election were right, and the media and politicians who ignored it at the time were wrong."

Sadly, Kennedys will be one more voice ignored. Equally credible sources have shown that Florida was stolen in 2000 and others have spoken out about the improbability of Bush's Ohio victory in '04. Christ, written confessions wouldn't get any congressional action on this. Maybe we could take it to the Supreme Court.

IT'S TEN FRIGGEN' PAGES LONG!!!

LOL

I don't know Soon,
You never know what will get press and what won't.

I'm guessing that this will garner some attention.

You'll notice that there is already a big ass push in Congress
to get this right. And look who's leading the charge.
Boxer and Conyers. Most of the push is coming from
the Democratic party. This leaves a huge question.
WHY? Where is the Republican voice?
IF REPBULICAN'S stand for values, isn't voter rights a core value?
Then, WHERE ARE THE Republicans on this issue?
The Conyers and Boxer resolution was read in front of the V.P. Cheney.
And even he remains silent on this issue.

Of even more importance than getting the attention of the press,
is that of popular opinion, and more specificially the opinions of those who make and enforce election law!

Election laws are enforced by secretarys of state. In '00 Katherine Harris was not only FL's Secretary of State but also co-chair of Bush's FL election campaign. In '04 Kenneth Blackwell was not only Ohio's Secretary of State but Chairman of Bush's OH election campaign. Coincidence? Hmmm....Clearly this obvious conflict of interest should not be tolerated. BTW Blackwell handily won our recent gubernatorial primary, so not much backlash there. My frustration is not whether someone can once again show the elections were stolen but that they will never be invalidated and many of the disasterous results never rectified.

True story, and the more people like you and me and every progressive wanna be knows the truth,
the less likely are these people to get away with it!



Lord wouldn't it be sweet if some how Bush's election could be ruled illegal and null?
This has never ever happened before, and wouldn't that kick the Republican Neo-cons ass?

Is it just me, or is this link dead?

Cool!
I WILL read this after work!

Ya know, I had heard each and every one of the accusations in this paper before,
and as an informed progressive I was aware of everything here.
But when you put it all into one document like this.....

I will say it yet again.
These bastard Republicans must go!
Nothing else can possibly have a higher priority,
nothing else any of us feels is important will matter for shit,
if we can't remove these unamerican ass holes!
As long as these Rethugs run America we will never have honest elections!

Or as it says at the end of this report.....

The whole Republican Party is a mess with feces smeared all over themselves.

Many Republicans that I know personally, my whole damn family for one, just can't believe any of the stuff.
All common Republicans cringe daily at news reports.

It is almost as if the higher up the chain Republicans go in the party, the lower they reach into the bowels of Satan's den to complete their missions; Be it elections, war, drugs, or oil, etc.

I cutely call them Repugnicans. The Party of Repugnant people.

I tend to agree with you Max.

Being conservative is one thing.
I can deal with that. At least even if all we agree on is that we disagree, I don't expect them to cheat!
Those Republicans in charge are clearly willing to do any dirty deal available if it will further their party and their personal ambitions. Even more than that, they act as if they have the right!


I just read a poll (sorry, I didn't save the link) that showed 70% of the youth, 18-25, intend to vote,
and though the young Republicans get plenty of attention because they are loud and rude, they are vastly out numbered by liberal kids! My gut tells me that the Repugs will again attampt to screw the election process, but that the turn out, and the percentage voting anti-republican will simply swamp their ship of lies, and sweep them out on an ebb tide of disgust and contempt!

If not, you can expect violence.
I won't, can't and will not support or advocate such a thing, but I can predict it!
The over whelming Majority of Americans are completely and utterly fed up with this shit!
Those of us who consistantly state, "we told you so" and those who have to consistantly admit they were wrong,
we are all pissed off!

There's th' rub Sky, there's no reason why someone couldn't have put it all together years ago. Now that sombody's done it, why nothing in Time, Newsweek, CNN? This is only one of the biggest stories and greatest tragedies in our history. And this is just the election part, think how damning it would be for them to put together all of the crime and corruption in one package. We've grown up in a time believing that somehow there's some fair and final arbiter of all things. Time, and there's not much of it left, will tell if that's still true. Guess I'll head over to Barnes and Noble for a Rolling Stone.

OK, I've read it again…


…and I'll buy the print edition so I can read it a few more times without feeling the urge to throw my monitor across the room in a blind rage. Come to think of it, I might buy two copies. One could end up torn into tiny bits. Robert Kennedy's indictment of the 2004 election in Ohio is an infuriating, and essential, read.

Those still miffed because of John Kerry's concession (which, coming a day after the returns, wasn't really early by historical standards) probably won't be mollified by anything in the article, but they probably should be. Even with all the material Kennedy has compiled it's unlikely that a challenge to the election could be sustained, and only a fraction of that information was available the day after the election. One of the lessons of the election is that if people with their hands on the reins of power are determined to steal an election, they'll probably get away with it under the current rules.

No, the best solution to the Republican's corruption of the electoral process isn't interminable challenges after they've stolen another election. What we need is a comprehensive reform along the lines of the John Kerry's Count Every Vote Act, which includes same-day registration, provisional ballots and paper receipts for electronic ballots.

Even that, though, is a second step. The first step can't be taken in the corridors of Congress. As Kerry explained to Kennedy...



Nothing good is going to happen until there's a Democratic majority in Congress.

Recriminations about errors of the past and plans for improvement in the future are meaningless if we take our eyes off the prize.

(The Editors provide some interesting points in a dissenting view of Kennedy's piece. I'm not persuaded, but I'm pondering…still, eyes on the prize.)

The news is getting out, with or without the MSM,
and we're not happy!

Way to go Sky!!! I am so pissed right now! Everything that's happenning is just so unbeleivable!
I am gonna get a Rolling Stone this morning on my way to the Al Gore Movie! We need articles like this with back-up data, back up statistics, to prove that Bush is a Criminal!

Where is the Public Outrage and Nationwide Protest???

I'm a member of the county Democrat club here in central OH. Small county, very conservative, and even most of the local Dems are hardly a radical bunch, certainly not conspiracy theorists. I just came in and opened an e-mail from them with the headlines of this report in bold print and some of the better exerpts. From the list it looks like it's making the rounds across the state. Hope this puts a kink in Mr Blackwell's gubernatorial ambitions. Ya' might be right Sky!

I feel like having lunch in front of my Federal Building with a sign that LOUDLY says:

MY VOTE COUNTS AND
I VOTE IMPEACHMENT!

Picture this Max.

Every day from 11 to 2, a Lunch in in front of the Federal Building in Down Town Seattle!
Call the local news!

Citizens for American Liberty and Constitutional Rights announce a lunch in!
Bring your anger, bring your signs, Bring your Lunch!!

I think the Government might call that an organized demonstration and require a license.

But there is a minimum limit to what a group is called.

OK, how about this.

Make yourself a sign. Go eat lunch in front of the federal building.
Talk to people while you're there, and let them know you'll be back tomorrow,
then tomorrow do the whole thing all over again!

If the University people catch word of it, this could get big real fast!
Can't call something that spontanious a group!
Yer just one guy among thousands!

EXACTALLY

If I worked downtown Seattle, anywhere within a freezone bus ride,
I'd sure as hell lunch with ya!

DECEMBER 2004 GALLUP POLLS
1 in 5 Americans believe the elections were fraudulent.
That's over 41 Million Americans.

I'm a little ferklemped... this is all so hot , Hot, HOT, Max!
Bobby Kennedy Jr > WAY TO GO (chip off the the old block, might we say? )
I've gotta read all this great stuff ... talk amongst yourselves !

We could also create anti-PNAC slogans with body paint and all of us streak across ALL the USA campuses! Let the news try to ignore that!

Yank,

There is a lot of opposition out there.

Some hit at Bobby for being a Kennedy.
Some hit at the corruption as being part of the status quo.

My whole POV is that Bobby is a Kennedy. AND an dry drunk/druggie.
So what. So he compiled all/most of the evidence together.

Some excuse the corruption as being status quo. That it is to be expected.
If that's so, then they support and affirm that cheating, buying votes, bribes and mobster activity is an American value. Sounds pretty unAmerican to me.

Me too Max... I already love the guy the way he went after the mercury/autism connection (got one of his autographed books!). Now he's going for the gusto on this... where does he find the time? Remarkable!

The story supported by the staff and editors of Rolling Stone stands as a great document by it's self.
One cannot deny the facts as listed in this document, and it's saturation of listed back up information!

It doesn't matter WHO put it together.
The document stands on it's on detailed factual information.

If it falls unused into the gutter and is swept away by history, that's a decision the American people are making right now.

The 2004 Election

Kennedy report ignites controversy

During a White House press briefing on June 8th, a tough question caught Tony Snow off guard. "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has written an article in Rolling Stone which revisits the Ohio vote in 2004," a Baltimore radio reporter asked Bush's spokesman. "Does the president believe Kennedy has raised any new evidence of voter fraud?"

Snow tried to deflect the question with a joke, suggesting that the reporter should serve as Bush's "emissary from Rolling Stone." But many citizens, journalists and elected officials are taking our four-month investigation of vote-rigging in Ohio far more seriously ["Was the 2004 Election Stolen?" RS 1002]. The debate began online, where the story set off a firestorm. More than 700,000 people logged on to rollingstone.com to read the story, and thousands of bloggers posted heated entries about Kennedy's report.

The online furor caught the attention of some in the mainstream press, which has long downplayed the evidence of vote tampering. In The New York Times, Bob Herbert devoted an entire column to our investigation, concluding that John Kerry "almost certainly would have won Ohio" if Republicans had not blocked so many of his supporters from casting ballots. And The Seattle Post-Intelligencer blasted the media for its "deafening" silence on Kennedy's report. "In terms of bad news judgment," the paper observed, "this could turn out to be the 2006 equivalent of the infamous Downing Street memo" -- evidence that the Bush administration falsified intelligence on WMDs to justify invading Iraq -- "that was initially greeted by the U.S. media with a collective yawn."

Even Democrats who have been slow to question the election results were convinced by Kennedy's exhaustive report. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, who serves as the party's chief deputy whip, took the extraordinary step of admitting her mistake. "I apologize for not taking seriously enough the allegations that the 2004 election was stolen," she confessed in a speech on June 14th. "After reading Bobby Kennedy's article in Rolling Stone -- 'Was the 2004 Election Stolen?' -- I am convinced that the only answer is yes." Schakowsky promised that the Democrats would move aggressively "to ward off a repeat performance."

Kennedy, meanwhile, is preparing to up the ante on those he believes abetted the GOP's electoral theft. In July, the outspoken attorney plans to file "whistle-blower" lawsuits against two leading manufacturers of electronic voting machines. According to Kennedy, company insiders are prepared to testify that the firms knowingly made false claims when they sold their voting systems to the government -- misrepresenting the accuracy, reliability and security of machines that will be used by 72 million voters this November.

"This is a unique way to try and stop these vendors," Kennedy tells Rolling Stone. "In both cases, our whistle-blowers are familiar with security problems that were well known by the vendors but concealed from election officials during the bidding process. Because we're relying on 'inside' knowledge, it is a far more frightening prospect to the company than a traditional lawsuit might be. And if we prove our case, we will hit the corporations the only place they feel it: in their pocketbooks." TIM DICKINSON
