Reply #78: Posted at AtA: A request from the election fraud-busters, reform planners,

[understandinglife]

...and advocates.

Given that our focus is on stolen (aka fraudulent, disenfranchising) elections and all that needs to be accomplished to prevent another one, it is perhaps ironic that the name of the forum was changed without allowing those who have contributed so much to it vote.

I took the liberty (and appreciate your allowing it to happen) of offering a poll and the community voted.

The winning name is:

Stop Stolen Elections: Indict, Legislate, Advocate

It is a powerful name and one that encompasses the categories of activities that must be pursued if we are going to prevent another fraudulent, disenfranchising election.

If you are not willing to accept the vote and change the name would you be willing to sponsor a poll with the top two and accept an simple majority vote?

Stop Stolen Elections: Indict, Legislate, Advocate

Election Reform Advocacy and Action

Thank you for your consideration of these requests. I hope you will, indeed, continue to nurture this particular forum and perhaps allow it to function in a manner similar to the unique approach to grassroots activism fostered by Howard Dean.

Peace.

A few thoughts to share with all of you, not included in the post at AtA.

To everyone who have made this forum very much like a community, I’d like to suggest that a bit of liberalism, of respect for diversity, be nurtured in our fraud-buster, reformist group. For instance, maybe we could welcome the wonderful KOEB nightly thread to return to our ‘home.’ Those needing a moment of mirth, a bit of escape from the grueling efforts to stomp election fraud would find that thread quite refreshing (note: I’m a straight male, even more happy with my wife now than when we were married ~ 35 years ago).

And, the occasional apparently tangential thread that a member of the community wants to bring to everyone’s attention should be encouraged; especially if it’s a topic that many of us are interested or/and one that requires immediate advocacy or support (e.g., supporting Senator Boxer and others who are showing the world our collective disgust with Ms Rice – a truly crucial message to help save any hope our efforts to promote Democracy will be ever again be credible).

Thank you all for your responses to the poll.

Irrespective of the outcome of the request to the DU administrators, I hope we can find creative ways to continue to grow the spirit of our special, intense, and fun DU forum (community).

BE THE BUSH OPPOSITION;24/7 (aka TBO;24/7)

(at time of posting to AtA; top two were, ERAA - 35 votes; SSEILA - 42 votes.)
