Arrogance of Rice, Gonzales appts. & relationship to '04 Election Fraud

[Peace Patriot]

Here's a sample of thank you letters I'm sending out to Senators on the Condi Rice opposition, including the issues of the Gonzales nomination, and the relationship of both to 2004 Election Fraud--f.y.i., and use.

SUBJECT: Arrogance of the Rice and Gonzales nominations, and their relationship to 2004 Election Fraud

Dear Senator Reed:

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your vote against Condoleeza Rice yesterday, and the fine speech you gave on Tuesday. Although I live in California, I feel that you were representing me and the majority of Americans, nearly 60% of whom oppose the Iraq war.

And I urge you to oppose Alberto Gonzales as well. I can't think of a more inappropriate appointment than to have the lawyer who wrote the torture memos as head of domestic law enforcement. I'm also concerned about enforcement of the Voting Rights Act and other laws aimed at honest elections. Given the flagrant misconduct by Republican election officials in Ohio, and given our egregiously non-transparent election system nationwide, we need a civic minded A.G.--hardly a description of Gonzales.

We were lied to on Iraq. We were manipulated and propagandized. And over 100,000 innocent Iraqis were slaughtered, and over 1,300 U.S. Soldiers were killed, and we now have a disaster in Iraq the likes of which we have not seen since Vietnam, and the architect and spokesperson for all of this was Condoleeza Rice.

I feel that Bush’s nomination of Rice—as with his nomination of Gonzales--is an insult to Congress, to the American people, and to democracy itself. Are mass murder and torture and endless lying now to be our “moral values”?

I fear for our country. I am convinced these people committed massive election fraud, not only because the evidence is very strong--indeed, it is overwhelming—but also because I will never believe that a majority of Americans voted for these policies.

How do we get out of this mess—of stolen elections, of illegal wars, of false and hypocritical “values,” and of massive thievery and corporate domination of our country and its foreign policy?

I imagine you’ve given it some thought. Here’s mine: paper ballots, hand counts. We were a pretty good country when we had those. We can be a good country again.

Some think the electronic voting system can be repaired—with open source code, a proper paper trail (a ballot that takes precedence over electronic tallies in any recount), other proper security and auditing procedures, removal of Republican partisans as owners of the secret, proprietary programming code that counts all our votes, and undoctored exit polls to verify the election (unlike our exit polls for 2004, which were doctored on election night—"adjusted" to fit the official result-- hiding the fact that Kerry won the exit polls—a prime indicator of fraud).

I think we've gone too far toward an inherently fraudulent election system, and need to pull way back to something simpler that occurs at human speed and that human eyes can see.

Once again, I am profoundly impressed with the courage of your vote on Condoleeza Rice. We are calling you the "Heroic 13" at democraticundergound.com (2004 Election Forum). Thousands of activists around the country observed the debate and vote, and we stand ready to assist the progressive causes of any politician who is willing to investigate the 2004 election and supports election reform.

And always remember: We—the good people of the United States, the people who believe in fairness and justice and good government, and who oppose unjustified war--are the majority!

Sincerely,

enc.: Here are some of the expert reports on the 2004 election that you should read, if you are unfamiliar with them.

The Heroic 13 of Jan. 25-26:

Boxer (leader of the Heroic 13, absolutely brilliant strategist)
Kennedy (great speech)
Levin (speech)
Byrd (great speech)
Kerry
Reed (RI) (speech)
Durbin (speech)
Dayton (the greatest speech of the day, will live in history)
Akaka
Bayh (speech)
Lautenberg
Harkin
Jeffords (Independent)

Note: Biden, and Harry Reid (NV -minority leader), voted for Rice but did speak eloquently in defense of the Heroic 13, AND in defense of what they said about Rice's lying.

7. Arrogance is key word

Look at Porter Goss nomination for top CIA guy....one of the CIA problems was that it sent up tainted WMD intelligence trying to give the administration want it wanted...it was politicized. Then BA nominates a clearly partisan guy to head the agency? And he was confirmed? WTF?

Then you get a guy who used to be B*'s personal attorney and then WH attorney to be attorney general? He will run Justice only the way the WH wants it run...supposed to be independent.

Then Rice, who has done this country extreme dis-service, is SOS.

AND....the epitome of arrogance: important government posts in many departments are filled to the brim with corporate lobbyists protecting their industries at the expense of the public. This is not widely known, but is described in RFK Jr's Crimes Against Nature.

It is outrageous, arrogant, dangerous, immoral, obscene. It is also highly effective in keeping entrenched power entrenched.
