Readers are well advised to view with skepticism anything on the internet. Blogs, rants, and phony “reporting” create so much noise that it difficult for reliable voices to be heard. Four things gave my work traction: I wrote in plain English; I used simple arithmetic; I presented the raw data; and, most importantly, I gave my real name, my address, and my phone number. I do not need to hide behind a user ID or an e-mail handle.

I stand by my work. And I could defend my work, and elaborate upon it, if the “mainstream” media would only give me the opportunity. I can take on all challengers because my knowledge of what happened in Ohio is far deeper than what is set forth in my book.

The “mainstream” media makes much of “the public’s right to know.” They chant this mantra in defense of even the most inappropriate invasions of privacy. But only the “alternative” media recognizes the public’s right to know that our elections are rigged.

To this day, the most comprehensive and well-documented article on the stolen 2004 election in Ohio, written by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., was published in Rolling Stone magazine. My own voice has been heard on National Public Radio, but only once, when we filed in federal court to protect the ballots from destruction. The story made the Yahoo home page, and some of the major newspapers. That is as close as we have gotten to the mainstream.
