We are facing a pivotal moment in our history, where we can choose to throw away the American dream or embrace it.

We can choose honest debate or power positioning propaganda.

We can choose to call this bill for what it is: a Trojan Horse containing gifts for all kinds of private interests with hidden agendas, or we can continue to falsely market it as a “paper trail” bill.

We can choose to focus on defining and fulfilling THE single hard benchmark appropriate for any electoral reform:

DOES IT SUPPORT CITIZEN OVERSIGHT OF OUR PUBLICLY OWNED ELECTIONS?

Or we can continue to play the game that says we shut our eyes to the private interests working with Congress to promote technoelections for the nation at the cost of our democracy.

As I stated earlier, a very wise activist from California phoned me the other day and said to me, “we did away with literacy tests for voting a long time ago.”

So I'd like to know: who is Rush Holt, the US Congress, the EAC, ACCURATE, Verified Voting, or anyone else to tell the American people that we now all need not just literacy, but computer literacy, in order to participate and engage in our own democratic processes?

Enough is enough. It is time for a return to the ideals and dreams of our visionary revolutionary founders. It is time to remember what this is about: protecting and preserving our American democratic Republic.
