Machines don't lie?

Incredibly, Congress is coming under pressure to block speedy passage of Rep. Rush Holt's paper ballots bill. Because the 2008 election cycle looms near, some have suggested it makes more sense to work on a plan that will be ready for 2012. The American people are in no mood to see another Presidential election stolen! 2012 is simply too late. I implore my readers to let their own representatives know how critical this insistence on a paper trail is to the future of our democracy.

The sorry spectacle of an inept, illegitimate, and corrupt regime making a mockery of our Constitution must not be followed by anything less than squeaky clean elections. Otherwise, we run the risk of allowing big-money interests to distort not only the campaign media coverage, but to "fix" results they don't like if their propaganda doesn't dupe enough voters into voting for Rethugs. Karl Rove might have gotten away with deleting e-mails-- let's not allow him and his partners in crime to erase our votes!
