Humint Events Online: I Protest

I Protest

I see from the post below, perhaps three people plus me are interested in a protest over the vote.

I think we need more than that to really have any effect.

However, if more people are seriously interested in protesting-- please let me know. Also let me know if you hear of any planned protests!

For right now, I suggest we just keep close tabs on the vote fraud story. I think if the stories get any more incriminating, than there WILL be protests.

HELP AMERICA AUDIT: 5 Things You Can Do Right Now to
Reclaim Democracy

You’re our greatest hope. If you choose to accept it,
your job is to spread the word in order to build a
fast-growing grass roots movement -- a voting
integrity project so powerful that it cannot be mowed
down.

1. BE THE MEDIA -- See below.

2. CRUNCH THE NUMBERS: Discrepancies please, and
hurry. E-mail them to tips@blackboxvoting.org . Pass
the word. Need source documents, too. ASAP. Follow
your nose, or join the Black Box Scavenger Hunt: Pick
a county. Look at small counties, as we are seeing
many discrepancies in those. Look in any state. Get
the official number of registered voters, Dem and
Republican. Get the number of votes cast on Nov. 2,
Republican and Dem. Make a grid like this, filling in
the right numbers:

# reg. voters % # votes cast %
Rep 100 33% 150 50%
Dem 200 67% 150 50%
Totl 300 100% 300 100%

We can find out a lot from this procedure, very hard
data, that will make a real difference. As soon as you
have finished a county, e-mail it to us. Do as many
counties as you can.

3. HAVE A HOUSE PARTY: Show the film “Votergate” (the
real one, which you can download for free at
www.Votergate.tv .) Organize “Be the media” actions
and set up investigative teams to help dig up
information like you have in #2. Timeline is NOW, to
get action before seating the electoral college.

4. HELP CONNECT THE WIRES: Hook Black Box Voting
(.ORG) up with powerhitters you know, people who can
make things happen.

5. DONATE to any of 3 organizations: Black Box Voting
(.ORG), the consumer protection group for elections;
or the new recount fund (information upcoming, contact
DU's Hedda_Foil), or send contribution to Votergate.tv
(The REAL Votergate film, by Russell Michaels, Robert
Carrillo Cohen, and Simon Ardizzone. There is another
by someone else, make sure you get the right one.) The
real VOTERGATE is the most powerful investigative film
on this topic, and consequently it has been attacked
and blocked repeatedly. They deserve your support.

“HOW TO BE THE MEDIA”

Don’t expect to see vote burglary on TV. To get the
message out fast, you’re going to have to become the
underground railroad. Do it now. Take pictures of each
other doing it. Have house parties to show others how
to do it. Here’s how to “be the media.”

BE YOUR OWN REPORTER: We will send you new information
as we get it. We need your e-mail to get you on the
list, so if a friend sent this to you, please shoot an
email to crew@blackboxvoting.org to sign up.

Spread the information we send you to every blog,
listserv, forum you know and throughout your personal
network. Talk about it at work and to people you meet
everywhere, lots, quickly, all the time.

SELF SERVE SOUND BITES: Frequent, very short messages
to immediately increase public awareness. Assume you
won’t see it on TV.
Put vote fraud related messages on:
- Yard signs
- Car windows
- Write them on duct tape and wear them
- Print REMOVABLE stickers and stick them on things:
- Bathroom door at the gas station.
- On telephone poles in the dead of night
- At bus stops
- On the back of bus seats
- Stick them into your junk mail and send it back via
return mail
- Slip them into menus at restaurants
- Leave them in books at the bookstore
- Share new self serve sound bite ideas with us and
we’ll send them out with new messages.

ELECTION “TRUTH TOURETTES”. Please excuse the
political incorrectness, as it is not meant to be
hurtful. It is for a good purpose. This the antidote
to “watch what you say.” It is a good icebreaker at a
party. Have your guests make up truths, like those
below, and mix them into the conversation at surprise
times throughout the party. Unexpectedly and urgently
blurt them out:

Recount!
Electile Dysfunction!
Gotta audit-Gotta audit-Gotta audit
Florida!
--mathmatically impossible!--
Count all the votes! Count all the votes! Count all
the votes!
Votefraud.
Paperballots! Handcounts!
--where’s my vote?--
Where’s the paper?
Feel free to interchange and mix it up, or even try a
game where different people have to interject with
different truths.
- WHO REALLY WON -- I DUNNO -- GOTTA AUDIT!

Also, here are more ideas.
- Magnetic signs for your car
- If you know a trucker, have them put a message in
the window as they drive across the county.
- Make a patch and put it on the front of your
baseball cap
- Carry a sign and stand in the window outside the
Today Show

If we have to be our own media, so be it. We will not
sacrifice democracy just because TV executive
producers have a problem with this issue.
