Robert F Kennedy Jr., Jesse Jackson and Greg Palast Team Up for Election Integrity
Your organization, group, website, radio program - we need you to add your name, your heart, your effort to prevent a repeat of 2000 and 2004.
Steal Back Your Vote lays out the Six Ways They’re Stealing the Election – and the Seven Ways you can Steal It Back. It’s a 24-page downloadable graphic guide - an investigative comic book. It’s non-partisan, it’s humorous, it’s harrowing and it’s helpful.
And we need your name on it. The non-partisan guide’s initial sponsors include Voto Latino, Operation Rainbow/PUSH, Progressive Magazine and VoteRescue; individual sponsors include troubadour Willie Nelson and Code Pink’s Annie Nelson.
It won't cost your group a dime - but it does require a commitment to get out the word to your members or audience on the practical ways to protect your ballot from the vote-rustlers.
You know Bobby’s work. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blew the lid off the Theft of 2004 in his masterful Rolling Stone article. Many of you know me for my BBC television report that exposed Katherine Harris' "fake felon purge" of Black citizens in 2000.
Now RFK Jr. and I have teamed up to investigate THE THEFT OF 2008.
We can bring in your group for you gratis thanks the generosity of the Puffin Foundation, The Nation Institute, Threshold Foundation and the Palast Investigative Fund.
Jim Hightower and Air America’s Clout! have joined.
How about YOU?
To sign on as a group or media co-sponsor, we don’t require your money. We do expect your ACTIONS.
Just take these two steps:
#1. Respond with a “yes” to StealBackYourVote@GregPalast.com Tell me how you want to be listed. If you have a logo and a link we’ll put them on our website, StealBackYourVote.org
#2. Go to www.StealBackYourVote.org and you’ll find excerpts from the Voter Guide - you can grab them to post on your own website. Click here to get the first story in the guide - "Night of the Living Vote Snatchers." Illustrated by graphic gonzos Ted Rall, Lukas Ketner and Troubletown's Lloyd Dangle.
Take the ‘toons. Later, we'll send you a link to put on your site to allow your members, readers or listeners to download the guide. For now, they can sign up for its release.
If you can’t officially sponsor, you can still post a page or two from the voter guide comic book.
When we launch in two weeks, we'll send you a link for your site and a note to send to your lists. Your readers/members/listeners can then download the complete guide for a donation of as little as a dollar.
Get informed. Kennedy and I are about to publish our report and put it on the airwaves. Sign up and get the notice- via RSS, MySpace, facebook or e-mail and you’ll be the first to know when the news breaks.
BROADCASTERS: Pull down our Steal Back Your Vote! video and audio PSAs from the likes of Jim Hightower, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Willie Nelson and Mimi Kennedy and add it to your podcast or radio program.
Individuals: Want to add your name to the project and help us spread the word? Make a tax-deductible donation of at least $100 to sponsor the Steal Back Your Vote site and $500 to sponsor the guide itself. We'll add your name with gratitude.
Reverend Jackson has asked me to pass on these words: "We've marched too long, worked too hard, and died too young to let them steal our vote. For Dr. King, for Mandela, for Medgar Evers, for Goodman, Chaney and Schwerner - download it and fight back!"
Respectfully,
Greg Palast

AMAZING FACTS
Historic 2008 Election Could See Unprecedented Attempts to Bar African American Voters
http://www.democracynow.org/2008/9/18/historic_2008_election_could_see_unprecede...Queens College political science professor and bestselling author Andrew Hacker. In the latest issue of the New York Review of Books, Hacker writes, “Obstacles to getting blacks to vote have always been formidable, but this year there will be barriers—some new, some long-standing—that previous campaigns have not had to face.”
Lost Homes, Lost Votes: Are Republicans Trying to Block Foreclosed Homeowners from Voting in Michigan?
http://www.democracynow.org/2008/9/18/lost_homes_lost_votes_are_republicansThe Democratic National Committee and the Obama campaign have filed a federal lawsuit to block a controversial voter suppression tactic in Michigan. The Michigan Messenger reported this week that the chairman of the Republican Party in Macomb County is planning to use a list of foreclosed homes to block people from voting in the upcoming election as part of a Republican effort to challenge some voters on Election Day.

I have hope, not for this election, for for the organizing that will come out of it.
This next presidential election won't determine the disdain that the American population has for despotism, only their preference for the pace at which it encroaches.

YEP, ONE CAN INDEED ARGUE THAT AMERICAN ELECTIONS ARE BUT...
* A MOCK UP DEMOCRACY FOR THE POWERS THAT BE *
Thing is when you add all the people that will vote for Nader, Paul, Kucinich, Barr, McKinney & the 50% who don't vote anymore you get a huge chuck of WE THE PEOPLE who have no voice, no representation, no political power while corporations are lobbying the crap out of Congress, Senate & White House.
"I wouldn't call it fascism exactly, but a political system nominally controlled by an irresponsible, dumbed down electorate who are manipulated by dishonest, cynical, controlled mass media that dispense the propaganda of a corrupt political establishment can hardly be described as democracy either." -- Edward Zehr - (1936-2001) Columnist
BUT AT BASE 1 IS... THE RIGHT TO VOTE !
ALL THE REST BECOMES POSSIBLE FROM THAT POINT ON...
HEY SUE ME, I'M STILL AN OPTIMIST ;)-

Rep. Ron Paul Hosts Third Party Press Conference with Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney, and Chuck Baldwin. If you are tired of normal television politics and insanity souped with nonsensical drivel about nothing, your spirit can't take the lies anymore, and your eyes can take the gloss no longer, at least these people are addressing issues some might prefer to give an ear to. They might not all please you, but at least they have a platform otherwise denied by mainstream media.
Dr. Ron Paul addresses the importance of third party politics and why it matters. -
Indeed...
Just wondering who da F* can be against that "Steal Back Your Vote" endeavor apart from the ones who benefit from this travesty of democracy... yes I'm thinking of the 16% that actually takes the time to vote this news item down ;)

Perhaps the same who vote down other issues such as environment, health, evil monsanto, those who are afraid of the forest, and those who mock those that love trees and understand their integral importance upon our planet, those who wish to drilldrilldrill, those who do not know any better, those who are planted to watch who is posting what (well if they plant moles (not the velvety little critters that eat bugs out of your garden) at vegan parties and show disdain for vegetarians, one has to wonder where else they are about - i think they must get paid quite well).

The Doctrine of Blatancy works as a charm internally too...
First identify area of benefit where one can maximize power and wealth? (pretty much covers all the areas you've identified ;)
Next look for locals who will collaborate with to help achieve those ends.
Of course there are always scraps from the table to be thrown to them.
And most dogs are satisfied with that.
End result : A nation of village idiots ?
