Vote for a Man, Not a Puppet by Charley Reese

Please join me in signing this petition. It's about the new electronic
voting terminals that are being installed in many states.
http://www.moveon.org/protectourvotes/
Too many are "black box" voting machines -- computer terminals that
don't produce paper ballots. Without paper ballots, there's no way to
know if our votes are counted correctly.  Every voting method should
produce a paper ballot, so we can verify that our votes will count. Join
me in calling for paper ballots, at:
http://www.moveon.org/protectourvotes/ Thank you.

Robert B. Reich | The Last Word

"Musings about a second Bush term typically assume another four years of the same right-wing policies we've had to date. But it'd likely be far worse. So far, the Bush administration has had to govern with the expectation of facing American voters again in 2004. But suppose George W. Bush wins a second term. The constraint of a re-election contest will be gone. Knowing that voters can no longer turn them out, and that this will be their last shot at remaking America, the radical conservatives will be unleashed.

A friend who specializes in foreign policy and hobnobs with subcabinet officials in the Defense and State departments told me that the only thing that's stopped the Bushies from storming into Iran and North Korea is the upcoming election. If Bush is re-elected, "[Dick] Cheney and [Donald] Rumsfeld are out of the box," he said. "They'll take Bush's re-election as a mandate to wage the 'war on terror' everywhere and anywhere."

Read the rest here; http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/052204L.shtml

(editors note: It is likely that the methods used upon American citizens labeled "non-combatants" will eventually be turned upon us all here at home that are raising our voices against the Bush administration and its fascist intentions.)
