Sept 2008: reports are coming in all over the country about McCain campaign voter caging scams including mailing absentee ballots to people with the wrong return address. Anywhere that has been hit hard by Republican economic policies (Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin...), the fix is in to keep as many voters away from the polls as possible. BE AFRAID, AMERICA! BE VERY AFRAID! OUR DEMOCRACY AND YOUR VOTE ARE BEING STOLEN BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES!!!
Check your registration to make sure you are not purged. If you move, register immediately. Know your local registration deadline. Register other voters where you live. Take responsibility and do your local duty in elections; know your candidates.
Ohio has a Dem sec of state. Ohio voters have the option of paper ballot this time. and there are going to be thousands of democratic lawyers crawling all over that state this November. Believe that.
Great video. Americans must insure that the 2008 election is not stolen. Many key votes may come from provisional ballots. Check those voting rolls now. Help folks be prepared with photo I.D.s if their states require them. Meanwhile, move to repeal voter I.D. laws that restrict elderly, minorities and the poor. We must be proactive. Make sure each state has mandatory random audits of votes before certification! Together we can make a difference.
One way or the other it appears the Republic is finished and we now live in a country where elections are routinely rigged and anyone can be taken into prison and tortured on the whim of the executive branch. Be careful who you piss off cause one day they could put your name on a terror list.
The great American experiment seems to have failed and I don't see any way to "swipe" it back.
Honestly, I don't particularly care anything about anyone and how they vote. Everyone is entitled to their voice. But rich people or corporations buying the offices of government is bullshit.
I don't mind people who don't share my goals being in charge as long as they didn't buy or steal their way into office.
oh, you got it, Mr. Filmaker! Only watch out for asking for "just paper ballots." The "Princeton hack" on You Tube shows the hacking of an optical scanner. And absentees, which the Dems AND many Repubs are pushing, are subject to massive "chain of custody" manipulation, like, who is guarding them 24/7? HAND-COUNTING at the PRECINCTS on election night, is the only way to get the accurate vote count back. POST the results at the precincts, so if they are changed later, the CITIZENS know it!
Thank you! We've *definitely* had an silent coup d'etat in our country for the past eight years and need for people to know about what continues to happen here in the US.
For those in CA, know that you can demand paper on the day of elections at the polling place. Since they have run out of paper ballots before, another method would be to vote absentee -- so that the vote becomes documented -- and return the ballot early on election day to the registrar's office.
This is a timely reminder of what went wrong in 2000 and 2004! Some things have not changed. We must be aware and alert to all the pitfalls. I think we should have a new Cabinet position, Dept. of Voter Representation, and I would love to see Jimmy Carter as the Chairman!
Conveniently for Bush & the G.O.P., democratic activist Athan Gibbs, inventor of the voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) system, died suddenly in a suspicious 2-vehicle collision in March 2004 just as he was making inroads toward adoption of his system. Thus, in Nov. 2004 voting statistical patterns radically shifted to G.O.P. advantage via artificial intervention as Republican lawmakers had blocked every effort to ensure democracy via a verifiable per vote paper trail. Rigged results.
Bush-Cheney-Rove & the G.O.P. criminal regime perpetrated an American election holocaust.
As revealed in a joint study conducted by the Carnegie Corporation, Cal Tech & MIT, the 2000 election bore witness to as many as six million lost votes. Uncounted. Citizens who exercised their democratic right, only to find themselves disenfranchised & dismissed. Up to six million votes. Citizens actively exercising their democratic right to vote, in effect, liquidated. An election day holocaust.
I am impressed by your trailer

The thing that still bothers me is that I vote absentee. How do I know my vote is being received and counted?
