Everyone into the Battle! It's 1776 all over again, but this time, YOU are there.

It is now effectively illegal for citizens in 49 states to count their own votes on election day. This is an exact reversal of the way we counted votes from the days of the Founding Fathers until computers were introduced in the 1970's. By at least as early as 1988, vote tabulating had been systematically taken out of the hands of the American people in every state but New Hampshire, which still counts votes by hand in 70% of the neighborhood polling places. Americans are now no better off than Russians under Communism or third worlders under tin-horn dictators with regard to determining our future through the precious right to vote.

NOTHING — no issue you care about — can be fixed without restoring honest elections — short of armed rebellion. Rush Limbaugh and Gordon Liddy (among others) claim that we can change things by voting. The implication of that position is that we can verify that what is voted by the people in the precincts is what will be announced that night on TV. This is false as things stand (see quote from Popular Science magazine below Main Menu). We have lost our right to honest elections. It's now up to those running the software programs and the Big Media whether or not an election is honest. The Secretaries of State (New Hampshire excluded) and those officials running the Boards of Election in 3000+ counties have totally abdicated their responsibilities in the matter of honest and verifiable elections with citizen checks and balances.

The whole purpose of an election is to have a real chance to throw the current power behind the government OUT. When you have to let the government count the vote in the back room, and they make it illegal for you to witness what they are doing, YOU are a SERF. The bi-partisan duopoly behind the National Democratic and National Republican Parties, in collusion with the Big TV Networks, have made us serfs in this matter over the last 25 years. (The same collusion of the two big Parties with the 4 Big TV Networks is afoot in the disgraceful Presidential Debate Commission which is making absurd rules to try limit the debates to the Democratic and Republican nominees only.)
