How many "fronts" are there in this battle?

[ewagner]

My head is spinning trying to count all the different "fronts" the battle for the '04 election is involved in. As near as I can tell there are these:

Recounts in Ohio
Law Suits and possible recounts in Florida
Recounts in NV?
Recounts in WA state.
Sample recounts in NH (over?)

In addition to the "fronts" here, there are the things that Bush* and company are doing that need to be addressed also:

Alberto Gonzales appointment
Condi's appointment
Run up for a war with Iraq
Decimation of the CIA
Mandatory mental health testing (and possible mandatory drugging)
Assault on Reproductive rights


on edit:This thought was raised by Will Pitt's post on Total Opposition
my mind is spinning...can you think of others?

And a question, How the hell do we fight all this at one time?

[janx]

1. The only way to fight it at one time is to start getting

people elected in ALL levels of government.

People around here have their heads in the clouds over some superstar 2008 election, but we'll be in no position to do anything if we don't get people with brains and common sense into government NOW.

(Sorry to vent; it gets to me sometimes.)

[ewagner]

2. Venting is good

We need to be a lot less emotional about things and a hell of a lot smarter...cold-blooded even...in order to stop the conservatives from taking total and irrevocable control.

3. another front is the more general issue of privatizing elections

Why are democrats letting Republicans count the votes?

Great article on the DU's front page today by Ernest Partridge about this.

9. and the crime wave known as Tom Delay

No wonder we have outrage fatigue... they just keep creating more reality. Sooner or later all this reality they're creating is really going to screw this country over.

10. the main front is the one no one is talking about . . .

and that's restoring citizen authority over corporations . . . I've done some rather extensive posting on this issue in the past, but it never seems to take hold . . . so I'll try one more time by referring to a couple of those threads (rather than re-posting everything here) . . . please take the time to look them over, because this is where the real battle lies . . . and until we engage it, nothing will change . . .
