1. As I have read about these issues surrounding the election in 2004,

I have come to believe with all my heart that Senator Kerry actually did win the 2004 election. It is painful for me to think that our media and corporate America chose our current president for us by manipulating the system while working closely with the Republican party. The best man- the man who should be leading our country sits on the sidelines trying to do the peoples work without the power or recognition he deserves.
We can not go back and right this wrong and demand justice for Senator Kerry, it is too late for that now. Not enough people realize just how our leaders are being chosen for us and those who try to get the truth out to the public are silenced or discredited one way or another. I don't believe it is hopeless, but it will take a long time for an inattentive America to realize they have been had in 2000 and in 2004. How many more elections will it take until more people start paying attention? I don't know, but the 2008 election will be interesting if for nothing else but to see who prevails.

2. The 2004 Election FACTS have to be made public...

...and they have to be investigated, just like other important issues the Democrats are looking in to. Unfortunately, as some have said, it's an uphill battle, because some in the Democratic Party establishment don't want this public.

Once the FACTS are out there, the American people can decide what needs to be done. I am confident that they (We, the people) want the best election system in the world. Our system ought to point the way and set the standard for other new democracies. The last few Presidential elections have been an embarrassment, at the very least. Even Former President Jimmy Carter has said as much.

Now that the other deficiencies, deceits, mismanagements...and possibly crimes...of this administration have finally become public (with the media kicking and screaming all the way to publication), I believe more than ever that they are/were capable (at the minimum) of rigging the 2004 Election. I'm 99.9% convinced it was stolen from Senator Kerry. But uncovering the truth about what happened can't come from Senator Kerry...the effort has to come from 'we, the people.' I really hope that happens...for all our sakes.
