The Ohio Senate Rules Committee is currently holding hearings to consider H.B. 3 - the election reform omnibus bill. This will not solve the problems witnessed in Ohio's elections last November. Legislation that requires all voters to show photo identification is misguided and will do more to disenfranchise legitimate voters than it ever will to curb "fraud". S.B. 36 needs to be defeated.

H.B. 3 contains language that would put barriers in the way of voters. There are glaring omissions in the bill and it fails to address several key OH election problems - such as a lack of notification of former felons when their voting rights have been restored, simply put, H.B. 3 does not go far enough to protect the voting rights of Ohioans and should not be passed in its current form. The Rules Committee is currently making decisions that affect all Ohio voters. You can help stop these bills by making two calls today! Please call Rules Committee Chairman Bill Harris as well as your own senator and tell them:
A) Vote NO to S.B. 36! Photo identification requirements harm Ohio voters.

It’s bad enough that the Bush administration had so little international support for the Iraqi war that their “coalition of the willing” meant the U.S., Britain, and the equivalent of a child’s imaginary friends. It’s even worse that, as the British Downing Street memo confirms, they had so little evidence of real threats that they knew from the start that they were going to have manufacture excuses to go to war. What’s more damning still is that they effectively began this war even before the congressional vote.

While I think you make a compelling case that Bush did steal the 2004 election, there's no doubt that Bush stole the 2000 election. Whie it looks like Kerry may have gotten the most votes in 2004, Al Gore in fact did get the most votes in 2000 both nationally and in Florida. I used to live in Florida so I know the disputed territory and the Florida election laws that were deliberately broken in 2000 like the back of my hand.

The Gore campaign's request for a hand count of the uncounted Florida votes was a routine request that I'd watched be carried out in close local elections in Florida many times. There's no doubt that Harris flat out refused to enforce Florida's clear election laws that required that the uncounted votes in 2000 be counted because she knew that counting all of the votes meant victory for Al Gore. For the record, it's Al Gore who belongs in the White House because it's clear that he was in fact the people's choice in 2000. Democracy in America clearly died in 2000.

Senator Boxer is clearly no hero because her action in 2004 clearly would've made a difference in 2000. Instead in

June 17 Speech by Kevin Zeese at Lafayette Park Downing Street Rally Who thinks that President Bush misled us - lied to us - bamboozled us into invading and occupying Iraq?

He told Americans there were unmanned Iraqi aircraft that could drop bombs over our cities. His own intelligence agencies told him this was inaccurate. He tied Saddam to Al Qaeda and Bin Laden - there was no evidence of that. He talked about Saddam being able to launch a strike on the United States in 45 minutes - there was no evidence for this. He talked about the potential of a mushroom cloud over the United States - a nuclear attack by Saddam - there was no evidence for this. He used fear mongering tactics to scare people into supporting an unnecessary war. President Bush did not lie to us once, he did not lie to us twice - he lied, and lied, and lied and lied - for month after month. Because he and his minions repeated the lies so often many in the Congress and the media were fooled by their drumbeat of war lies and as a result the American people were fooled - thousands of Americans were led to death or serious injury and more than 100,000 Iraqis were killed.
