When Barack says this election isn’t just about him, he means it. While few of us may be as brilliant or as grounded as Barack, we are all capable of greatness. And together we will achieve it. Even if the world doesn’t know our names, it will know us by the good that we do.

In the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it.

America, our moment is now.

Let’s go change the world!

Voter Fraud / eVote / Vote Flipping | Report to Admin

Guys: I don't mean to be a big down, but can someone calm me down please...i just read 2 articles that scare the living hell out of me...

"10/28/08: Voting Machines Flipping Votes At Many Early Voting Sites: Where Are The Election Protection Attorneys?

Non-Profit Election Watchdog Demands Failed Machines Be Removed from Service, Impounded

In a national press release today, Velvet Revolution called for elections officials in all states to immediately impound any voting machine that has flipped votes from one candidate to another. It has been widely reported in the media over the past week of early voting that Direct Recording Election (DRE, usually touch-screen) voting machines made by ES&S, Diebold, Sequoia and Hart InterCivic have been flipping votes, predominantly from Democratic candidates to Republican candidates, but in some reported cases, just the opposite. (See: Link )

These vote flips were first reported in West Virginia and the elections official there quickly ordered the recalibration of some machines, but video has shown that recalibration does not correct the problem and the flips continue. (See: Link

Vote flipping has also now reported to have occurred in Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, Nevada, Colorado, Georgia and elsewhere.

“Machines that flip votes should never be recalibrated,” said Brad Friedman, co-founder of Velvet Revolution. “Accessing these election-ready machines in this way, when they are most vulnerable to malicious software and manipulation, is wholly inappropriate. It is outrageous that election officials have ordered such action. Instead, failing machines must be immediately removed from service, impounded for later inspection, and voters should be given paper ballots to assure their vote may be counted accurately."

VR also demands that the legal teams associated with the candidates step up and take immediate legal action to quarantine these faulty voting machines. The Obama campaign has made much of the fact that it has thousands of lawyers on the ground to ensure that this election is fair and everyone’s vote is counted. “Unfortunately, these lawyers, the lawyers for McCain and the lawyers for the DNC and RNC are AWOL and asleep at the wheel,” continued Friedman. “”We insist that they keep their promise to the voters by demanding that these machines be taking out of service immediately. We should not have to wait until after the election for a candidate to sue because voters were not allowed to properly register their votes."

My understanding is that this is being investigated after it was discovered from alert voters who called it to the attention of the election officials. One woman took a photo of the incident with her cell phone.

Also, it has only been a few scattered incidents that were reported early on and I've not heard any more since they took those machines away.

Best bet is to double check your vote results before you hit the print out and cast ballot buttons.

The best way to stop worrying is to make a plan for yourself to spend at least 4 -6 hours tomorrow on the phones calling states to GOTV. And call any college kids that you know and get them out there. This is a ground game that now depends on us and only us. HEre is the part where Barack depends on US to deliver and we best be up to the task.

Don't worry about things you can't control. Worry about the things you CAN control like you calls and canvassing efforts. Every little bit counts!!!! OUR TIME IS NOW!!!!!! 4 DAYS LEFT!!!!

Good nite, Big day tomorrow.

One Left

I would like to make 2 matching donations b/f 12am PT since this will be the last time I will be able to have any money to do so. I have already made 2 donations today. So I have been trying to come up with some quirky thing, because that is how I am, but I am just too exhausted to figure something out.

So here’s the deal I have $19no only $9.50 left. I am willing to split it up b/t 2 fundraisers with a matching donation to mine. My FR is so far away from my goal, but it would be nice if it looked like I tried.

ANY TAKERS? I thought to be fair I would split it 50/50 so 2 FR will get a whopping $9.50, anyone want to match such a “large” contribution, I post under this post and I will check in 15 minutes. Any takers, I’ll do this and then if you could hit my FR back that would be great.

I've enjoyed everyone's "company" so much on this blog. I think it would be fun if we shared a little about ourselves. I'll show you mine if you show me yours! Anyone that's willing to participate, please respond with 3 interesting facts about yourself. I know, it's cheesy, but I love to hear from the faces of this awesome campaign and it would be nice to weave our stories together into a virtual "quilt". I'll start:

1.) I'm a novice rock historian. I love learning about the conception and birth of rock and roll.
2.) I am scared of clowns, vomit, snakes, uncaged mice and sometimes trains.
3.) I like fresh cut grass, dogs, hiking, college football, reading, socializing, dining, and good beer.
Come on, yaw! Play along!! There were some GREAT responses on the last blog and this is good, clean, fun! Love, Caroline from TN
