Most of this is over now....but just wanted you guys to understand that our Dems in the House are TRYING....so HARD against Bush!

They are fiesty and angry. And Ohio Rep from Akron (didn't get name) was reading letter after letter from constiutients complaining about the Iraq 87 Billion! His "letters from home" were incredible.

Republicans Seem to Want to Keep Computerized
Voting Easily Corruptible


by Rob Kall

Before the age of computers, there were all kinds of ways for a local
politico to "mess" with the voting apparatus. He could arrange for a
mechanical machine to count wrong. Or, the names of people in
cemeteries could be kept or put on the voter rolls.

But now, in the wondrous age of computers and the internet, it's possible,
with a virtually undetectable line of software code that can make itself
disappear after its done its dirty work, to wreak corruption on hundreds or
thousands of computerized voting machines reflecting hundreds of
thousands or millions of votes. A number of recent elections are
suspected of being tainted by this voting corruption. We've opened a
Pandora's box with computerized voting, not knowing what was going to
come out.

But it looks like the Republicans like the way things are, in spite of clear
proof of a multitude of errors and easily corruptible vote counting. US
Congressman Russ Holt introduced a bill earlier in the year that would
take many of the risks out of computerized voting, and it would add
safeguards to prevent theft of elections or computerized tampering with
the voting process.

It seems that any patriotic American who cherishes the central role of an
honest voting process in the maintenance of democracy would almost by
reflex support a bill that would make voting safer and more honest. Yet
since the bill was introduced, not one republican congressman has signed
on to the bill.

Now, one might not expect enemies of democracy and the law, like Tom
DeLay, support such a bill. But it is shocking that not one single
Republican has the spine, the courage, the commitment to democracy to
support a bill that should be receiving bi-partisan support. It is a sad time
when elected representatives respond in lock step, obedience to the ruling
(in this case hedless) leaders, rather than voting based on principles or for
the good of the nation.

3. The Ohio Rep is Sherrod Brown.

He's been reading those letters since MoveOn.org posted their petition asking for an investigation of the intelligence behind the war. A bunch of Dems were reading letters on the subject from their constituents...Brown seems to be the only one who's kept it up.
