Thank You Poll Workers

Without your unselfish efforts, during a pandemic, this election would be a mess.
It was not.
No fraud lawsuits, aftrer 5 days.
No illegal voter arrests, after 5 days.
Nothing but nonsense claims from every Republican living under every rock.

I am proud of our poll workers because I am one, in Wisconsin.

FoxNews needs more advertiser boycotts

After this election, more boycotts are needed to stop FoxNews and it's parent NewsCorp.
Boycott more advertisers, complain to cable TV operators over the misinformation they have broadcast.
Demand change to NewsCorp stockholders. Pressure. Pressure. Pressure.

We can force NewsCorp, to change and start validating news as news and force them to declare opinions as opinions.
This is where they muddied reality from fiction. Cable TV is subscription entertainment service only, by legal definition. It is not news, like a newspaper or over-the-air news; ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS which by law, are required to have two credible expert source validations to broadcast a factual claim.

We did it before and we can do it again. Run that company into the ground and make it less profitable.
Make the stock worthless, make the corporate board a target of online shame and portray it's on-air personalities as Un-American.
Go after the stockholders; the institutional ones, the major owners who can end the propaganda priority.

Use the same tactics they use, create the false narrative to it's sharholders and investors.
Force NewsCorp into reorganization through the stockholders.

Vos begins fraud hunt on a rumor

Robin Vos will believe anything he is told, without a slightest attempt to validate any fraction of truth.

MADISON - Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is using the Legislature's power to subpoena witnesses to investigate Tuesday's election after President Donald Trump alleged without evidence his vote totals in Wisconsin are hamstrung by "irregularities."

Vos ordered the Assembly's committee overseeing elections to lead an investigation under a state statute that allows lawmakers to require testimony.

"With concerns surfacing about mail-in ballot dumps and voter fraud, Wisconsin citizens deserve to know their vote counted," Vos, R-Rochester, said in a statement. An aide to Vos did not immediately answer where ballot dumps are alleged to have occurred.

"There should be no question as to whether the vote was fair and legitimate, and there must be absolute certainty that the impending recount finds any and all irregularities," Vos said
.

I love the " must be absolute certainty..." part, which shows he made no effort to research the claim as coming from a reliable source. The mail dump rumor was debunked almost immediately, by all news sources....but Vos isn't having any of that nonsense. His Qanon bloggers are far more credible in his teeny tiny mind.

We need laws to force people like Vos to prove, with tangible evidence, not heresay, before any government investigation can be started. Right now, Wisconsin could start spending millions investigating the rumour that the Hodag, in Rhinelander, ate the 20,000 ballots that would have given Wisc to Clinton in 2016.
You heard that Hodag rumor. didn't you? I think I saw it online somwhere....

Here come the self-doubting Dems

Now that the fat lady is inhaling for her final aria, we are getting the self-doubters coming out of the woodwork.

...this pundit is an idiot, that pundit is a a**hole, and every finge useless albeit normal complaint about bipartisanship in COngress, what if after what if...
These complaints, by Dems, seem to focus about how information was presented to these overly sensitive Dems.

We won the important race and held the House.

We now write the budget, control the checkbook and have the pulpit.

FCC Complaints on FoxNews

We can stop the misinformation and reduce the risk to our democracy with one simple step.

We complain to the FCC about FoxNews lies, misinformation and hate speech.

FCC Complaint:
You must fill out a form ( of course)
You must be very specific: The date, time, channel and exactly what was claimed that is false.

This link is a good, basic guide to get started.

http://foxnewsboycott.com/resources/contact-the-fcc/

It's our airwaves; meaning the wavelength frequencies that TV, radio & internet use. We 'lease' every frequency to media.
We can prevent bad ones from getting a lease and prevent them from sending anything using frequencies; TV, Cable, Radio, Microwave, Laser, etc.

We can stop misinformation from the general methods used to promote propaganda and lies.

I know it's a hard path to follow, and follow through on...but it is one that will actually work.

Where are GOP deserters?

POTUS 45 was an abject disaster and failure for most Republicans.
It's similar to what Nixon caused the party with Watergate.

In 1973, there was a large number of Republicans who left the GOP. They had principles and stood by them.
There doesn't seem to be any this time the party failed it's membership.

Anyone have any idea as to why we are seeing elected Republicans not deserting the party?

Loyalty to Trump can't be the only reason.

Trumpies start a new political party?

The GOP failed Trump and his minions. They are the 'all or nothing' type of voter.

The Trumpies could start thier own political party.

The Dems got started when the Whigs wigged out.
The GOP got started when no party supported abolition.


So why not let the fringe far right start thier own party?

If they can figure out how to play within the Federal & State Election rules & procedures, and that is a big "if".

Wisc Recount: Must be pre-paid to start

If Trump actually gets a recount of the Wisconsin election, he will have to pre-pay the entire estimated cost, before it can start.
That is estimated to be $3,000,000.00

It would be the first time Trump has actually paid a bill, in full.

Start registering young voters today

Time to get going for the future.
Start helping voter registration drives for young voters, as it's time they took over.
Young Non-White Voters
Young Women Voters
Young Rural Voters

Once they take over, voting will be cleaned up and nationalized into a clean, simple, all-access voting.....I hope we can vote with our smartphones, which we can, today, spend millions with in one finger touch, safe & secure. Voting can easily follow the financial lead using devices.

BUT IT'S YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE THAT CHANGE HAPPEN.

Get going on the ground game.
Almost every state will have sping elections in just a few months. Wisconsin votes on Feb 16, 2021...that's only three months!
...judges, school fundings, referendums, local offices will be at stake.
