RFK Jr. on Hardball NOW! Emergency Paper Ballots, Wexler Goes to SCOTUS!
Edited on Wed Sep-27-06 04:05 PM by BradBlog
Senator John Kerry joined the Emergency Paper Ballot bill filed yesterday in the Senate late last night. He and Senator Russ Feingold have introduced an additional "Sense of the Senate" resolution today. That story now here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2533235

Bobby Kennedy Jr. will appear on HARDBALL today (Wednesday) to discuss Diebold chicanery at 5pm ET.

Rep. Robert Wexler is going to the U.S. Supreme Court concerning Electronic Voting machines in Florida.

And other such notable breaking BRAD BLOG news all below... -- Brad

RFK Jr. to be on MSNBC's HARDBALL Tonight at 5:10pm ET!

Heard from Bobby an hour or so ago, that he's going to be on MSNBC's HARDBALL with Chris Matthews tonight at 5:10pm ET (2:10pm PT).

He'll be discussing his recent Rolling Stone piece on Diebold's duplicity in their voting systems, and our elections from 2002 on up to now. At least, that's what he's been told.

As well, we're hoping he'll put out the words calling on folks to demand that Congress pass legislation for Emergency Paper Ballots this November.

1. Tweety HAMMERING John Boner (Boehner)!!!
Opened with "What do the Democrats have to lose? Nothing. What do the Republicans have to lose? Everything." Boner responded with, "I think I'm talking to Nancy Pelosi over there."

Hahahahahahahahaha! Tweety must be wearing his "D" underpants today!

Maryland primary. He experienced it himself.

10. It's a shame he had to EXPERIENCE it himself before he believed it.
Imagine what the poor people go through with rigged machines and NO forum for the experience to be heard. Like much of Ohio and Florida - still.

15. CorpoMedia seem to be hedging their bets lately.
They've got their fingers in the air and they're hearing that old song:

It's a haa-aar-rd rain's a-gonna faaa-aallll.

16. I really hate to say this, but
I think I may have to send Tweety a thank you for not shouting over RFKjr. I guess it would be only fair after all the hate mail I sent him in the past.

What a perfect case RFK made in that short time. Still amazed about no overTweeting!

19. My mouth was wide open in shock!
That's one of *very* few times Tweet has let a guest not only articulate, but expand upon a point. I couldn't believe he let RFK talk about the 350,000 votes in Florida.

20. Same here. I wrote and here are email addresses...
I just swallowed my pride and wrote a thank you email to Hardball, Abrams and Viewer Services.
hardball@msnbc.com
dabrams@msnbc.com
viewerservices@msnbc.com

Gotta give credit where credit is due, and this was the most clear presentation of election fraud I've seen on the MSM yet.

Wow, just wow.

28. I hope this is enough.
RFK, Jr said in an AA interview that once the gag order was released that he felt confident there was time before the Nov election to safeguard the vote. I can't help thinking the Rs will fight this tooth and nail.
