Protest George Bush 12-12-04 nationwide all State Capitals and D.C.
For the last month I have been trying to figure out why 50% of the U.S. is not involved in massive protests. Who is capable of organizing these protests and how can I get involved?
Well today after crying for the millionth time since 11-2; I finally found a group.
These are the same people who organized the massive protest in Canada.

In two weeks, December 12th at noon local time, every American citizen is called to converge on the 50 state capitals and WashingtonDC. for the 51 Capital "You Stole My Vote" March.
WE LOST THE POWER OF OUR VOTES
The vote fraud exhibited in the November election, facilitated by the loss of paper trails and 'dirty" voting systems, has resulted in the loss of trust in the integrity of our votes. While e-voting machines in and of themselves can be easily compromised and manipulated (there are ample 'incidents' of such in the November election), the threat transcends the machine we vote on. The heart of 'dirty' voting systems prevalent in 2004 lies in the computers that tabulate the votes. These 'tabulator' PCs accept and count the votes from all precincts, regardless of the voting machine employed.
Tabulator PCs, as presently designed, offer the feature of easily changing vote totals without any trace. Take away any paper trail, and there is virtually no way to detect malicious vote manipulation. Furthermore, because these PCs are accessible by modem dial-up and/or Internet access, it doesn't take a vast conspiracy involving thousands of poll workers to massively subvert the vote. A hand full of connected PCs is all one needs to alter election results by millions of votes!. This 'dirty' system has destroyed the integrity of our voting. As it now stands, our voting systems can NOT be trusted.
As Americans, we can no longer look to the next election with any assurance that our votes will mean anything. The new voting systems are so easily compromised and so obviously designed to facilitate vote count manipulation that citizens are facing for the first time a future without hope. Without hope, our innate optimism is diminished, our drive to succeed impaired, and our ability to dream lost. That which makes us great as a people and a country will disappear within a generation.
With a compromised voting system, we are open to tyranny and a complete loss of control over our government and elected officials. Without any control on the exercise of power, we now face a very real threat to our democracy and our freedom. No citizen can dare sit idly by in the face of losing all that has brought our country greatness. This is why the "You Stole My Vote 51 Capital March is of vital importance to every American citizen.
As citizens, it is our duty to stand up and demand the sanctity and security of our votes be returned to the ballot box. The 51 Capital "You Stole My Vote" March is our one opportunity to voice our insistence that all votes in the 2004 election be counted accurately and completely BEFORE state electors cast their votes for President and Vice President.
On December 12th we can open our eyes, accept the reality, and do something about saving our democracy; or we can sit at home and cry and worry about all of our dumb material possessions.

^ Not to burst your bubble, but your biggest opportunity to protest was 31 days ago.
Re: Protest George Bush 12-12-04 nationwide all State Capitals and D.C.
thanks for the info LiveNude- and dont mind the comments above they just want to stop us from voicing our opinions- which is foolish because the more they try to shut me up the more I ( and many like me) will fight for my right to be heard. Somehow that fact has escaped some of our regulars here ::)
Re: Protest George Bush 12-12-04 nationwide all State Capitals and D.C.
Here is something from the Porcupine's Gazette a pre American Revolution Newspaper.
(quoted by Bill Moyer in his book Moyers On America - A Journalist and His Times)
"It often happens in democratic countries that many men who have the desire or directed toward that light, and those wandering spirits who had long sought in each other the need to associate cannot do it, because all being very small and lost in the crowd, they do not see each other and do not know where to find each other. Up comes a newspaper that exposes to their view the sentiment or the idea that had been presented to each of them simultaneously but separately. All are immediately in the shadows finally meet each other and unite."
Re: Protest George Bush 12-12-04 nationwide all State Capitals and D.C.
actually a couple of extremely rich political donors like George Soros bankrolled pre-election protests, along with unions etc. Since Bush won the election, the big money democratic causes have lost much financial support. This will pretty much preclude any anti-Bush demonstrations on a massive scale.
Re: Protest George Bush 12-12-04 nationwide all State Capitals and D.C.
I am not a big fan of Bush, but what are these protests going to do? I just don't see the reason.
Re: Protest George Bush 12-12-04 nationwide all State Capitals and D.C.
Just a couple of questions that flitted thru my mind. Is it really prudent to protest in large groups anywhere with the current terrorist threat? I would be paranoid as hell. Also, couldnt this be tantamount to treasonous acts? Not sure how that would fit but would love some input.
Lastly, why choose my birthday? Is this a diversionary tactic to cover up the huge party planned for me? ;D
Re: Protest George Bush 12-12-04 nationwide all State Capitals and D.C.
Excuse me for going a tad off topic, but Tigerlily what the heck is a "naziubian". You come up with some odd words so I googled that one and got diddly-squat?
Perhaps you could communicate your thoughts better if you spoke the same language as anyone, anyone else in the world?

Re: Protest George Bush 12-12-04 nationwide all State Capitals and D.C.
1- I didn't come up with the term-- I borrowed it from another poster because I thought it was funny-and I don't give a shit if any of you like it or not.
2.- I am not running away - I am doing what is in the best interest of my child. I am not even selling my house here in FL because we hope to return someday if/when the repubs and fundys get put in their proper place- which is side by side with liberals instead of having their guns (figurative- well most of the time anyway) pointed at our heads if we disagree with them.
Re: Protest George Bush 12-12-04 nationwide all State Capitals and D.C.
For all of you who don't believe in the American way; here is a description of some of the words that I typically use to describe your fellow anti freedom of speech buddies
Naziublican is a combination of the words nazi & republican.
Adolph Bush is a combination of Adolph Hitler and George W. Bush
EG2 stands for Evil George the 2nd
G.O.P stands for Guardians of Plutocracy (there's nothing grand about that old party)
Oh my God-- tragedy of all tragedies! Did I make a spelling error? The horror.....the horror.

No- it is not treason to protest. In fact there is a great quote by a former Pres that Laura uses that covers this very well- I'll have to look it up .....
also Happy early birthday :party:
edited to add: Ok I found that quote :
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
by: Theodore Roosevelt

Thanks Tigerlilly for clarifying that for me a little more, sometimes my adled brain doesnt process things well and thats one reason I posted the question.
Thanks also for the early birthday wishes. :hug:
Re: Protest George Bush 12-12-04 nationwide all State Capitals and D.C.
you're not the first person to question that actually- it was a lie that was perpetuated by alot of repubs in the past 2 years. A great example of a repub who preaches it is that twit Ann Coulture (sp?) Its all part of their brainwashing tactics. Good for you for questioning it and finding out the truth for yourself :)
