Check your local media, check CNN.com and Fox News.com, and you will find very little mention of the actions that were taken by our Congress today. There has never been a clearer example of the inadequacies of our mass meida than this one issue. For those who haven't heard examples of what happened in Ohio please click here for the summary of the 120 page report by the House Judiciary Commitee and educate yourself on exactly why Sen. Boxer (D-CA) and Rep. Jones (D-OH) did what they did today.
This is the beginning of my first fight to try and regain my faith in my country. We must trust that our voted is counted and that our elections are fair. This seems so simple to me, I don't understand why there is any debate or argument on this issue. We should not vote into black boxes that are built by corporations whose executives have a clear agenda (story). We must not priviatize the most basic aspect of our system of government. We must not allow those who call people who try and fight for voters rights "conspirators" and "sore loosers" to continue to hold power. We must not continue to drink the Kool-Aid offered by the press in an attempt to keep us in the dark. Most of all, we must not stand idely by while others lie outright feeding on fear and ignorance. We must stand tall, proud and loud.
Vive la revolution!
