Even though this election could go either way, neither way will benefit the Democrats. Either the Republicans will steal their 're-election' on Election Day, just as they did two years ago, or they will slime their way to 'victory' through force and fraud and strident propaganda, as they did after Election Day 2000. Whichever strategy they use, the only way to stop it is to face it, and then shout so long and loud about it that the people finally perceive, at last, that their suspicions are entirely just -- and, this time, just say no... [editor's note: Starts out OK, ends with a plea for a 'massive turnout' in November - MLS]

Part II: Our Rigged Elections
"From the start, George W. Bush has pointedly refused to ask that we make any national sacrifice to help us win the 'war on terror,'" writes Mark Crispin Miller. "The patriotic thing would therefore be to lessen our national dependency on fossil fuels, by driving less (or not at all), and turning off the air conditioners, by buying fewer disposables, and otherwise deferring to the greater good."
