I’m at the We Count 2006 Conference in Cleveland. After a break for dinner, we resumed with an address by Dennis Kucinich, D, OH. He made the remarks below and then announced that he’s introduced H.R. 6200, a bill to guarantee that the 2006 election will be conducted on “hand counted, paper ballots, counted and posted at the precinct level” with the process open to all to observe. This was a real stunner. There is some legislation out there on stop gap measures but this is the whole 9 yards, the ultimate in election intgrity - Machines are Gone under this legislation…GONE.

Kucinich quotes from speech…
“One of the most important meetings going on in this state maybe the country.” Referring to “We Count 2006″
“people are deeply concerned about the election process.”
“You’re holding the light of democracy for the whole country.”
“our ability to have control over our institutions” is at risk when the procedures of elections are
controlled…
Referring to Ohio’s disastrous 2004 election he said “We understand why there is such great concern”
Without free and fair elections, “everything is at risk…a cause that’s so important, it’s a measure of the courage of the people” who call attention to the problem.
“We have a mission to make sure that elections are on the level.”
“There are lingering questions about the 2004 election and there ought to be.”
“Even verified voter paper trails are not an adequate solution to safeguarding our elections.”

Mother of 7, grandmother of 21, great grandmother of 41 and great-great grandmother of 2 and loving every minute of it. I want a better world for us all than the mess we have now. |
You bet Kucinich is right! Amen to your comments..Kuchinich cannot be bought. He is a stand up man with integrity and values. He cares about this Nation and the people. He is the only one that will get my vote whether he gets the nomination or not. The others you listed are nothing more than 'more of the same' (barf!).. corporate suck ups with Hillary leading the pack and Obama hard on the heels of being the same. Hillary the first of the First Ladys to attend a Bilderberg meeting (Bill C being a member since 1991). They are the global power elite leading the bought and paid for by their noses with global control of everything their goal. Kucinich also wants paper ballots, HAND COUNTED, results posted at the precincts and anyone who cares to allowed to be there to observe. NO MACHINES ALLOWED..What a concept..an acutal legal, and accurate vote count! They need to do away with the electoral bit too. Those corrupt, corporate suck up repugs manipulate that too.. Popular vote count only. Air America talk hosts need to hear from us to stop pushing Hillary, Obama and the rest in our faces..they need to talk about Kucinich and not continue to give more exposure to the others. I don't give a rats patoot how much money any of them have raised..it wasn't from grass roots and THAT needs to be said over and over. 'Murduck' drools over the thought of Hillary. He knows she is a corporate bought and paid for. I no longer identify with any of the political organizations since they all suck. Those among us who see things clearly and refuse to be brainwashed need a new designation...Personally I think ' The Progressive American party" would divorce us fully from the brainwashing corruption of the others. A grass roots movement of, by and for the PEOPLE !! Sounds good to me. by

Progressive Party I've been thinking about the Progressive Party, I think someone already owns the name. Kucinich is the only one who follows his heart, and to hell with the money. This has got to get around more. by
