Black Box Voting Fraud

75
points

I just saw on HBO a very disturbing Documentary on Voting Fraud in America.  Black Box Voting is an organization that exposes this fraud.  In essence it claims that voting officials and elected officials can tamper with the electronic results of the final totals.  Behind all these (Diebold) voting machines are the worst.  Electronic Touch Screen Voting is a means by which Corporate Lobby can control who is in the white house. Also regular paper ballots should be counted by hand, not electronic counters that read votes (Diebold) inaccurately because of improper recalibration.

PROMOTE AN ISSUES AGENDA...Leave The Soap Opera At Home

There are those of us who refuse to subscribe to the “politics of personal destruction”.  We’re also the ones who decry un-founded speculation and destructive conversation.  We want the public to recognize soap opera conversation that manipulates their hearts and minds.  In that vein, we are submitting our platform and will continue to do so.  The goal is to give all that have access to this information the ability to hold it as a standard against the candidates and see who rises to the level of these demands.  That is someone who will truly make a difference in the course of our nation.  Your friend, your sister in life, Cynthia Metzger aka Cynthia@SeaquestVentures.com  Gov

The last time Alaska was mentioned in our Transparency Recap, Senators Ted Stevens and John Cowerdy were named, being brought up on alleged charges of corruption with connections to VECO oils. This time, the CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) blog titled, "Sarah Palin Ran 527, which raised corporate money, for Ted Stevens," directs our attention back to Alaska.

This week’s edition of the Transparency Recap commences with the
implementation of a major step in the arena of governmental transparency. On
August 1st, The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of
2007
saw its first act of realization take place as information pertaining
to lawmakers’ assets, liabilities and lobby-related-expenditures and gifts were
posted on the House Clerk’s website.

However, a quick perusal of the disclosure database proves slow and somewhat
difficult to navigate given its complex interface. In addition, the files can
only be viewed in .PDF format meaning that for many who are without the software
required to open .PDF files, the information is lost. Dan Auble at the Capital
Eye Blog writes about the current flaws with the system of disclosure and how
the Center for Responsive Politics is already seeking to remedy them:

A Simple Political Message

Simple ideas (Occam’s razor) for the 2008 elections.  No one candidate seems to have taken any position, with the exception of condemning the other.  If a platform is developed at the conventions, here are a few examples of what might not only palatable to the populace, but might even make a difference.  Anyone can change, only a few can make a difference.  In addition, 5 or 6 of the 12 would be great and any more than that would be a landslide.
