BBV: Washington State DU'ers...please check in.

[Andy_Stephenson]

I was busy over the weekend at 3 speaking engagements. Almost every person is aware of the BBV issue and are afraid. I am not going to have any problem garnering support for my campaign. But I need your help as well. If you live in Washington State please let me know what county you are in...and if your willing to help.

Lets send Sam Reed and his vote stealing machines packing.

1. Do What We Can

Been a little busy lately Andy.;-)

Gimme a couple days- I'll let folks up this way know!

:yourock: :7 :yourock:

[jiacinto]

2. Are you claiming that every election is stolen?

If you are no one is going to take you seriously.

[Andy_Stephenson]

4. thanks for the kick Carlos

And no that is not what I am claiming...:eyes:

[jiacinto]

5. Ok

I just hope that you don't go around acting like a lunatic on this issue.

[Heddi]

6. why do you think he'd act like a lunatic on the issue?

BBV is bad for voting PERIOD. Leaves no trail. Results can be easily tampered with.

Actually, on second thought, EVERYONE should act like a lunatic on this issue. It's bad for voting. It's bad for you and bad for me and bad for ANYONE who gets out there to vote.

You trip me out sometimes....

[jiacinto]

8. No

But that very public flame war that took place a few weeks ago damaged the credibility of the issue.

[Andy_Stephenson]

9. Horseshit!!!

n/t

[jiacinto]

10. It sure did

I'm sure that Diebold has printed it out to use against you all at the right time.

[Andy_Stephenson]

12. Horseshit

n/t

[jiacinto]

13. Whatever

You are systematically, through your behavior, undermining your credibility.

By the way, if Patty Murray loses next year, are you going to claim "BBV cost her the election"?

Tommorrow, when Ben Chandler most likely will lose to Fletcher, will you scream "BBV cost him the election?"

What about MS?

You are so predictable.

[Andy_Stephenson]

14. I don't remember getting into a flame war.

And the cheers and applause that I got yesterday seem to tell a different story than you do. Oh and the mention of Bev Harris' name...garnered hugs and support of my campaing with COLD HARD CASH.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it mmmmkay...

15. BREAKING: DU FLAMEWAR ENDS IRAQ WAR

[WilliamPitt]

18. It damaged the credibility of the people involved

in that one sector. This is a national issue with thousands of people involved.

[Heddi]

27. damaged credibility with WHO?

With DU'ers---give me a break--DU is comprised of a very small amount of people (no offense to DU in any way).


The "flame war" didn't appear on National Television, Didn't appear on CNN....

The only people who know about the Flame War are people on DU, and for the most part, people have forgotten about it, or just don't care either way.

Flame war or not, The issue of electronic voting is of MAJOR importance--regardless of your political affiliation.

There have been flame wars on Abortion, Affirmative Action, Race Relations,, Death Penalty, Taxes---do all of those issues have 'damaged credibility" as well?

Let me guess---we should all just sit down and be quiet and let republicans tell us which issues we should be worried about and only worry about things that Mr. And Mrs. I've Never Voted would be concerned about?

Fuck that. This is a MAJOR issue, and I'm sorry that you can't see the forrest for the trees with regards to this very very important election deal

[Wonk]

28. It damaged Roxanne J's cred, period (imho). nt

3. kick for gbnc

7. I live in Seattle (king co)

let me know what I'd have to do---I'm pretty full-up through December with School, but if there's anythign you need me to do during weekends or non-school time let me know---I'll be happy to help you.

P.S.--do I get extra credit if I act like a lunatic? PLEASE? i'm so good at it :evilgrin:

[CaptainMidnight]

21. somebody clue me in

I've been following BBV story this whole time, but I'm ignorant about Wash State.

What's the deal? WHo's Sam Reed? I have friends there, and can alert them.

Captain Mike

[lysergik]

23. GBNC is running for Secretary of State..

.. Sam reed is currently the SoS in WA and is pushing BBV statewide.

22. County

Skagit County

[Andy_Stephenson]

29. Howdy...I was up in your parts yesterday

and got a very warm welcome. Met Mary Margaret and Phil Talmadge. Ya'll are sure nice...I felt like I was home in Texas.

[raysr]

32. ???

Texas????

[Andy_Stephenson]

33. I am originally from Texas....

about 20 miles south of Crawford. From the belly of the beast so to speak. But home is Seattle...

[lysergik]

24. Kitsap

any techie sorta stuff, etc, let me know.

[woofless]

25. Whatcom County

Maple Falls. I am laid up w/ broken back right now and am new to the area and know few people......all that said I will try to help in any way possible. I looked at Sam Reed's site a couple days ago after one of your posts but could not find if they were going to use these damned things up here. I have not yet voted in WA state so do not know what we have at the local polls. Msg if I can help.

Woof

[Andy_Stephenson]

31. Sorry about the injuries!

When you are well...we will talk...in the meantime tell everyone you know about Andy Stephenson for SOS.

[RedEagle]

40. Whatcom

Woofless- Whatcom is one of the punch card counties. Suffice it to say that a number of people want to be on the committee that makes the voting machine decisions!

Right now the only touch screens are in Snohomish County with Sequoia. We've got a Democrat auditor there who PR's them for Sam Reed. (Go figure)

Reed does not want paper and what he really wants is Internet voting. Look for him to push that as an alternative to the mail in ballots that are gaining in popularity in Washington State.

Of course, the former Secretary of State, Ralph Munro, is on the BOD of VoteHere, who hawks Internet voting.

Coincidence? Nah....what am I thinking.....

[Andy_Stephenson]

41. Was Munro a republican or a

Democrat?

[govegan]

26. Scarce resources of time and money in the short term.....

But, I do live in King County (Seattle), and I may be able to provide more support as the campaign progresses.

Best of luck. I agree that Sam Reed and his vote fraud machines must go. When I attended the HAVA meeting in Olympia last summer, the disapproval of the new voting machines and the concerns about all computerized voting systems seemed to be nearly unanimous amongst the ordinary citizens present.

As you may know by now, Bev Harris is going to be on a panel discussion on the Mike Webb show on KIRO 710 AM on tomorrow's election night discussion, 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM.
