The people are masters of both Congress and courts, not to overthrow the constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it! -- Abraham Lincoln

The country has been under fierce attack from within and we have not been defended. We have watched our inalienable rights crushed by this administration. We have witnessed the wholesale dismantling of government in service to the people – replaced by cronies and hacks who will lie and conceal to implement the rule of this corrupt administration. It's not easy to resist the force that's quite literally stolen the reigns of control from us. But to submit is not an option.

Americans can choose to take the DREs and Optical Scanners, that were bought without their consent, and dump them in the Boston Harbor. We in New York don't need to go so far. We can learn from the mistakes of our unfortunate neighbors and save our money. All those hard earned tax dollars being spent not just on the shoddy equipment, the maintenance and upgrading, the contracts with the voting machine vendors to run the elections because no one can operate these machines without them, but the millions handed over to the so-called independent testing companies that allegedly "certify" these machines, when we know that no such certification is done or is possible. (See Halting Holt Thoughts and Nancy Tobi's and Bev Harris's Voting Machines as a Ponzi Scheme).

The emperor has no clothes: the sham testing and certification of these voting machines is a fraud against the American people. There is no testing and certification that could make these machines secure, even if this government were to require more than the appearance of testing and approval that it does now. The administration would have us believe the machines are certified and can be relied on to protect our votes, but this is an administration that has no interest in protecting our votes.

They have used the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to ensure that hundreds of thousands of us will never vote. You only want to rig so much to prevent detection (see Landslide Denied). This administration is so unpopular, rigging the machines alone can't do it. It needs more. It has used the DOJ to do its bidding, aggressively pursuing phantom voter fraud in order to create a justification for voter ID laws that will disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of poor and minority voters who tend to vote Democrat. This campaign to retain power at all costs was also behind the firing of at least 4 of the 8 U.S. attorneys who failed to go along with the Administration's treasonous plan. See here. Still another aspect of this annihilate-the people's-destroy-all-checks-and-balances government, is the recent altered report from the EAC which concealed the actual evidence that voter fraud was "scant" (evidence from a report done at tax payers' expense) and stated instead that "There is a great deal of debate on the pervasiveness of fraud." See here.

We in New York, who have held off the DOJ breathing down our necks (NY was sued by the DOJ for not yet complying with HAVA) still have the opportunity to be a beacon to others. The buck can stop here.
