A Landmark Document by James Heddle

I received this in my email mailbox this morning. I consider it one of the most important and pivotal statements I have seen, and reproduce it in full. I deeply thank the sender for passing it along, and urge the reader to pass it along as well, either by clicking the email icon at the bottom, or by copying, pasting it, and sending it:

AGAINST THE HOUSE

Only Chumps and Compulsive Gamblers Keep On Playing in a Rigged Game

By James Heddle

As the Bush Machine rolls on -- through Orwellian "Patriot" Acts, Intelligence "Reforms" and "Clear Skies" Initiatives, adding treason to treason, felony to felony, unconstitutional domestic acts to violations of international law, "crimes against all humankind" to crimes against the biosphere; as it authorizes torture, domestic surveillance, and terms the Geneva Convention "quaint" -- progressive pundits waffle on with exhortations to hopefulness, ideological mea culpas, adjurations to linguistic reframing, advocating emulations of the right, and statistical analyses based on flawed polling and fraudulent vote counts, I find myself wondering: How long are these people going to keep on playing in a rigged game? (more)

1. And "Fair Tax" is the next horror for their flat tax

2. This is the only country and only game that we have; and its important.

People just need to play smarter and understand and use the rules. Election laws have been violated and the officials who did it still not indicted. Fraud has been documented but nothing done about it so far. But it can be. Its just a matter of understanding and perseverance.

6. And who do you think is going to do the prosecuting?

Who's going to do the prosecuting?
The same people who prosecuted the crimes from the 2000 election?

3. The Dems need to unite against the DREs or they're done for.

No Dem will ever again win the presidency and every election cycle will see more Repubs elected to Congress unless the voting machines are cleaned up, un-rigged, or whatever, so that there are "voter-verified paper ballots" and regular required audits and severe punishments and fines levied against machines that screw up the counts, maybe life imprisonment for any found to have planned to subvert elections on a national scale. The Dems have to unite and focus on this ONE ISSUE: Vote Fraud has to go or no Democrat should run in any election in any precinct anywhere in the USA. But they'll have to unite to achieve fair elections. If they unite, they can defeat the fraud; if they remain as naive aas little lambs, they deserve to be slaughtered by whatever wolf is passing by that election cycle.

Keep this kicked and consider sending this to friends and family who are still in doubt about that "election stuff".
