Good News From Bev Harris

This is amazing and very hopeful! Bev Harris http://www.blackboxvoting.org and Ralph Nader had a press conference in DC today. They have teamed up with http://www.ballotintegrity.org/ and have set up a 527 special fund http://helpamericarecount.org/ to buy recounts. They worked with Bev Harris's lawyer who is an election specialist attorney. They have found a little used law that allows a recount if it's requested by five citizens who voted in that state and did not vote for the candidate who won. The state wants a down payment of ten dollars a precinct, so they need money fast!

Send to the fund http://helpamericarecount.org/ All the funds are for recounts and will be prioritized by the most suspicious counties first. It will be about $200,000 to recount Ohio, which is the first target because it has very provable anomolies that show massive fraud- Bev says, "Very strange and impossible math"; then Florida.

If you go to http://helpamericarecount.org/ or www.blackboxvoting.org and can't get there, it's because their website keeps getting shut down and they keep having to put it back up. They are going to have to switch to a specialist host; a company who specializes in protecting websites that are under attack constantly. So if you can't get there, keep trying.

Also, there is a woman who has, on her own, filed for a recount in Nevada, using the same law.

And, Ralph Nader is going to pay for a recount in New Hampshire to audit the Diebold machines there.

About the Help America Recount Fund from their website:

http://helpamericarecount.org/

"The Help America Recount Fund is a new 527 fund affiliated with BlackBoxVoting.org and the National Ballot Integrity Project. The sole purpose of the Help America Recount Fund is to finance presidential ballot recounts in Ohio, Florida and elsewhere, for the 2004 election. For more information, contact us at info@helpamericarecount.org. Or you can reach us at Help America Recount Fund, Law Offices of Lowell Finley, 1604 Solano Avenue, Berkeley, CA 94707-2109"

All this info came from Bev Harris on "Unfiltered" on Air America Wednesday. Go to http://airamericaradio.com. Scroll down to Air America Audio Highlights. (These usually only stay up a day or two). Look for Unfiltered (November 10th, 2004) "Bev Harris, founder of blackboxvoting.org talks to Unfiltered about her latest efforts to look into potential voter fraud, and offers some hope that we may indeed get a recount before the electoral college officially re-elects Bush.

Thirty Eyes for an Eye

 by DAVID ROZELLE

www.opednews.com

George W. Bush’s favorite testament, The Old Testament, prescribes a “Life for life…an “Eye for an eye.”  The entire formula, including hands and feet, can be found in Exodus, 21:23.  ‘Fair enough,’ murmur Bush’s believers from their pews.   

 

But when is enough enough for a self-professed, Evangelical, born-again, hard-nosed, right-wing, post-911 American Christian president?  How about thirty for one?  Will that do?  More?  We haven’t even factored in Afghanistan .    

A reliable study released just before the current carnage in Falluga estimates that “around” 100,000 civilians have been killed in Iraq during President Bush’s jihad against Islamic terrorists who were never there.  Violence, the study says, is now the principal cause of death among Iraqis.  

 

The study’s findings -- published in the distinguished British weekly medical journal, The Lancet -- point out that over half the 100,000 dead are women and children.  Most died in air-strikes, blown to kingdom-come by armaments made and ‘delivered’ by America .  (The study’s research teams -- from John Hopkins University , Columbia University and the University of Baghdad – apparently could find no evidence of an insurgent air force.) 

Approximately 3,000 innocents died in this country at the hands of mostly Saudi-Arabians on September 11. That means that George W. Bush has already exacted his God’s vengeance on over thirty Iraqi civilians for every one American killed on 911.  No one’s Bible, including this zealous Texan’s, reads, “Seventy eyes for an eye.”

 

 

To paraphrase Pogo, "I has seen the terrorists and they is the President.”  Enough is enough, I say, but I’ll be damned if I know how to end the bloodshed.  After this November 2, that will take nothing short of an act of God.
