Impeach George Bush
Why haven't they counted A quarter Million Votes in Ohio?
Greg Palast and Jesse Jackson join together to simply note that about 250,000 ballots simply weren't counted because their casters were black.
Source: Greg Palast, 2004-12-05
Candidate: Republican Party
On Saturday, from 6pm-9pm EST, Rev. Jackson joins investigative reporter Greg Palast to ask what happened to nearly a quarter million votes, overwhelmingly from African-American precincts, not counted in Ohio.
For BBC Television, Palast uncovered the fake felon list that swiped the election in 2000; this year, his report on BBC television broke the story of the secret Republican "caging" lists that bent the November race.
The smell of Black ballots burning is hard to ignore. We need your help to continue this investigation into the votes not counted in Ohio, New Mexico and Florida. Behind the by-line "Greg Palast" in Harper's, The Nation and the Guardian is an investigative team that is now running perilously low on funding. While Greg Palast has donated 100% of his royalties from his bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, to the effort, we're still in the red.
We're asking you to keep this investigation going by making a $50 tax-deductible donation to the Palast Investigative Fund ... in return we'll send you as a thank you, the blistering documentary, "Bush Family Fortunes" on DVD, signed by reporter Palast. The film is taken from Palast's award-winning investigate broadcasts for BBC Television - the story of the Bush-Bin Laden connection, the shoplift of the vote in Florida, the secret plans for "Operation Iraqi Liberation" and other reports that you can't see on your Fox-ified TV. Donate at http://www.gregpalast.com/store.htm Donate before December 10 and receive your signed DVD before Christmas via first class mail.

This is the film Jesse Jackson says, "You must see." That Senator John Edwards calls "Important and disturbing." Katherine Harris says Palast's reporting is, "Twisted and maniacal." Maybe that's why Noam Chomsky says Palast, "Upsets all the right people."
Other gift choices in return for your tax-deductible donation, all shipped within a week of donation via first class mail:
The Book: "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy: New Special Election Edition," (Penguin 2004) signed by the author, for a minimum $50 donation.
The Cards: "Joker's Wild: Dubya's Trick Deck" - Tarot-sized four-color cards ... the illustrated satirical version of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, for a minimum donation of $25, signed by the author.
The Audio Book: The five CD set from Penguin books of "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" read by the author with Ed Asner, Alec Baldwin, Jello Biafra, Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo, Amy Goodman, Jim Hightower, Cynthia McKinney, Alexandra Paul and Shiva Rose -- for a minimum donation of $100.00
The Whole Enchilada: For a minimum donation of $200, we'll send you a signed copy of the Special Election Edition of the book plus a signed copy of the cards, plus a signed copy of the 5-CD audio book, plus a signed copy copy of the DVD, "Bush Family Fortunes."

to all bush supporters, but, most especially,
those pragmatists who voted for bush (and were the
majority, who voted for bush), whose investments
have soared since king george has usurped any
semblance of the republic of the u.s.:
if
you’re heavily invested in insurance companies,
not to worry, the “top stories” (i.e.
presumably the ‘stories’ which humans, who can
afford the internet/computers, are interested in),
at news.google.com, 7:00 pm eastern standard time,
12/28/04, informed: “foreign insurers tipped to
escape tsunami unscathed”

moral values - god forgive us

bush is right of nixon, for sure.
the
proof is there, there were several witnesses who
saw the triad employee make unsupervised changes
to the system during the election. it's
irrelevant what he did, the fact that he did it
unsupervised by an election official makes it a
federal crime. that it's likely that he used his
priveleged access to change the results of the
election is obvious to anyone with a
brain.
but you would know this if you
could read for yourself.
jesse jackson
constantly tries to achieve peace and justice.
he's a hero. that's all there is to it. you wish
you could be half the man he
is.

another unfounded claim.
there's a big
difference between conyers and nixon in both
ideology and time/circumstance, and yes, i would
be somewhere in the middle. almost every american
is.
if there's proof, where is it? facts
talk, bullshit walks. anyone can make unfounded
claims. like hitler said, "the bigger the lie, the
more likely people will believe it". all you have
to do is keep repeating it.
i don't know
why anyone would still listen to jesse jackson,
hasn't he worn out his credibility yet? if not by
now, then never with some people.

kerry won, you heard it here
first.
conyers' got the smoking
gun.
an employee of triad government
systems who made the electronic voting system
tampered with the systems in southern ohio during
the counting, unsupervised.
don't like
jackson, palast, no doubt won't like conyers.
probably won't like anyone left of nixon.

yeah, right. they just want to 'simply note' that.
jesse jackson is a professional
publicity hound and greg palast is rabble rousing
to get rich through book and dvd sales. its a
joke.
