http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/225975843?ltl=1142113685I made the target of this petition the US
Election Assistance Commission, which does conduct studies concerning technology, but I also will share the petition with the media and congress members.
We still do not have the right to fair and free elections in our country. I think that is shameful, and some right wing politicians are fighting to keep it that way.
I also encourage people to write and especially send postcards ORANGE ones- I think work well- with a brief message concerning YOUR right to verifiable voting via a paper record (support HR 550), to the media and congress folks, with links to important information.
...the demented code of criminals and tyrants, has become the ruling doctrine of the United States -- replacing the Constitution, replacing the noble struggle for liberty

They had predicted the fraud of 2004- knew many details- who owned the majority of the machines used etc. BEFORE our 2004 elections. This is an interesting article but the next- is a more recent one- concerning the likely future of continued fraudlent elections in our country, and especially how it relates to the electoral college.

Thanks to the Electoral College system set up by the Founding Oligarchs to keep the low-born rabble from voting directly for president, the big haul of California's electoral votes is crucial for Democrats to offset the multitude of small, sparsely populated states that reliably vote Republican....
California Secretary of State Bruce McPherson (decided) to override the objections of his own experts and certify the eminently hackable voting machines of the politically partisan firm, Diebold, for use throughout the state means, quite simply, that the fix is in for 2008. It doesn't matter who the Democrats run....

The panel found that Diebold's machines were riddled with curious built-in glitches that effectively "ceded complete control of the system" to hackers who could "change vote totals, modify reports, change the names of candidates and change the races being voted on."
What's more, "hackers wouldn't need to know passwords or cryptographic keys, or have access to any other part of the system to do their dirty work," the Los Angeles Times notes. "Voters, candidates and election monitors wouldn't necessarily know they'd been rooked."
Democracy should matter more to US, sadly under the BU**SH** regime it has just become an excuse to send our soldiers to kill and die.
April 6 & 7 in WDC if you can, if not there is still much we can and BETTER do if we CARE about restoring our democracy!
