Re: verifiable references

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

Here is a listing of verified facts about the voting fraud issue that makes

for a powerful statement that we indeed no longer have meaningful elections

in this country unless this fraud is brought to light and rooted out.

At least we now know where the bodies are buried.

Here are the facts with verifiable references:

9. Diebold's new touch screen voting machines have no paper trail of any

votes. In other words, there is no way to verify that the data coming out of the

machine is the same as what was legitimately put in by voters.

Reputable analyses could not find and explanation of the discrepancy between

exit

polls and results of the 2004 presidential election.

_ (http://uscountvotes.org/) Were American's votes deliberately miscounted?

If this was done, it means, quite literally, that we are no longer living ina

democracy. When I read the list a few days ago, some of the allegations just

seemed too preposterous to believe. Like: " Jeff Dean, senior programmer on

Diebold's central compiler code...served jail time for planting back doors in

his client's accounting software and using a 'high degree of sophistication'

to evade detection over a period of 2 years.

" I tracked down the author of the list, who graciously responded with a list

of references for each allegation. It didn't take long to get to this:

According to the findings of fact in case no. 89-1-04034-1 (Washington

State): " ...Defendant's thefts occurred over a 2 1/2 year period of time, there

were

multiple incidents, more than the standard range can account for, the actual

monetary loss was substantially greater than typical for the offense, the

crimes

and their cover-up involved a high degree of sophistication and planning in

the use and alteration of records in the computerized accounting system that

defendant maintained for the victim, and the defendant used his position of

trust and fiduciary responsibility as a computer systems and accounting

consultant for the victim to facilitate the commission of the offenses. "

Another one of the references led to a detailed account of the double

database technique pioneered by Mr. Dean to enable electronically tabulated

votes

give a false total while stillpresenting accurate details in case of spot

audits. In combination with the constellation of undisputed circumstantial

evidence and open conflicts of interest, these last details are just too

damning to

ignore.

A cloud over the validity of the American electoral process is not

acceptable.

Please join me in calling for:

1) a full investigation of election irregularities

2) measures to ensure that ballots cannot easily be miscounted, and can be

recounted

Please -

1) forward this list to everyone you know

2) use it as grist for letters to the editor (in your own words) and

requests to newspapers, radio and tv for election fraud investigation...

3) write your congressional representatives calling for an investigation

What do you think about this? Are we all just too busy to care?

As Huey P. Long once said, " Sure we'll have fascism in America, but it'll

come disguised as 100 percent Americanism. "

" Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is

unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed

action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal

rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is

often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an

individual. " -- Jefferson to Isaac H. , 1819
