By, Mike Shelby
I was in Crawford , TX for the last five days of Camp Casey where I volunteered and got known as “Mike the Medic.” I met Cindy Sheehan, talked with her, and shared her truth, goodness, and sorrow. I joined Cindy at the Washington , D.C. peace march, photographed her at the PDA Convention, and we met and talked and marched together again when she visited Phoenix . I hold only my own mother with as much love and honor as I do Cindy Sheehan. And while I stand with Cindy on immediately ending the war in Iraq , I believe that there is nothing of greater importance to all political parties today than transparent, accurate, and honest elections!
Election integrity is not a partisan issue; Election integrity is a civic responsibility.
Election integrity is why, in Arizona, several citizens advocacy groups (AUDIT AZ; Arizona Citizens for Election Reform, www.aceronline.org ; Arizona Citizens for Fair Elections, www.azfairelections.org ; MC-CAFÉ), the Arizona Democratic Progressive Caucus, many PDA members, individuals of differing opinions and political parties, legislators from both parties, and even interested media have begun to work together to guarantee elections are honest and accurately counted. Realizing that we are all in this together, that “there’s not just a hole in your end of the boat,” but that the hole in the boat threatens to sink us all, honest Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, and people of all parties are working to help Arizona State Senator Jack Harper (R) get to the bottom of a Republican primary election recount where more votes mysteriously appeared. An as yet unexplained “found” 489 votes changed the outcome of the election. Senator Harper is receiving intense resistance to finding the truth about the recount by the mostly Republican elections officials in Arizona.
