Subject: ES&S buyout: The Diebold "Special Persons" List In the ES&S acquisition contract for Diebold's Premier Election Systems, the following short list of employees are given special treatment. This list is interesting both for who is on the list and for who is NOT on the list.   You can discuss this in our forums here: http://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/8/80902.html While one might expect to see certain individuals who are intimately tied to intellectual property get golden parachutes and non-compete agreements, this list includes some -- but not all -- of the programmers with intimate knowledge, and also includes some of the PR hacks (Mark Radke), an Internet disinfo person, Rob Pelletier -- see our special report on some of these guys:   http://www.blackboxvoting.org/diebold-PRmachine.pdf   The special people also include a former state elections director who bailed over to Diebold after helping implement a statewide buy (Cathy Rogers, of Georgia).  

Brooksley Born is another tragic American Hero Why don't we learn from our mistakes? Obama put the tricksters in charge again? The Fundamental flaw in American Capitalism is not the gambling on nested derivatives, it is that our economy is based upon 'Debt-Money', created out of nothing but the promise of our future, which our Government must then pay interest upon forever. As long as the "Federal" Reserve, a cabal of private bankers, is allowed to profit without creating anything of value, our future will be in jeopardy. How many generations must we sacrifice until we learn the lesson. We should stop borrowing from the FED. and only borrow from ourselves, in interest free greenbacks, then the only price we pay will be shared among all Americans, equitable based upon wealth, and invested in our collective future.

By David Swanson What it would have cost us to publicly fund independent media that would have prevented the invasion of Iraq wouldn't amount, in a year, to what we spend on a month of occupying that country. Diverting the cost of a month of war to a year of giving substance to our "freedom of the press" would mean that the last time someone asked you about the Teabaggers' genius in being smart enough to talk dumb enough to persuade everyone to be racists would, in fact, be the LAST time anyone would ask you how a creation of the corporate media manages to get coverage from the corporate media. But what do I mean by government-funded independent media? Isn’t that a contradiction in terms? Aren’t we better off with a completely worthless and counterproductive corporate media system than with government-controlled media? Maybe, but I said publicly FUNDED, not government CONTROLLED. And the choice is between that sort of communications system or nothing. Corp

You might have seen in the news, on Twitter, or on Facebook recently that I'm opposing the NBC/Comcast merger in its current form. I wanted to write you today to explain why, and to ask for your help. I have some experience in this industry, and I flat-out don't trust Comcast and NBC to operate in the best interest of consumers in Minnesota and around the country when it comes to this merger. Combining a company who provides programming and one who provides the pipes that carry said programming would almost certainly be a raw deal for consumers and independent content producers alike. Click here to represent your opposition to this merger by supporting the vocal opposition (me) with a small, secure grassroots donation today! I came to Washington to stand up to the lopsided influence of special interests on behalf of middle class Minnesota families, and opposing this merger is an opportunity to do just that. And as much as I don't trust Comcast and NBC to be honest bro

Corporations don't die, they don't need to eat, breath, or fight for their rights, we human citizens give them their rights. There is no reason that corporate powers need political speech, the very thought is an abomination. Democracy is not for corporations, corporations are dictatorships, with unlimited life span and unlimited capital. NO POLITICAL SPEECH FOR BUSINESSES! Save our DEMOCRACY !

With such courageous leaders , no wonder America is the 'greatest' nation on earth. Without some basic healthcare for aliens, you risk public health because diseases don't discriminate. (easy fix, increase criminal penalties for hiring illegals, with no economic refugees, then everyone is a citizen.) Without funding for reproductive health, like abortions, you sacrifice poor women to the alter of a religious mob. (easy fix, treat each individual patient based upon their stated religion, no christians get abortions at any stage of pregnancy, while others can choose more reasonable healthcare.) Without reasonable tort penalties for giant corporations, you risk public health in the name of profit maximization. (easy fix, keep unlimited tort penalties that can put irresponsible big corporations out of business, yet limit lawyer fees to a flat rate, so they don't get rich off frivolous law suits). Ultimately, the filibuster is a Senate rule, not part of the US Consti

This is the third in our series of lambasts against the various multitude of gross errors in the ruling by the Supreme Court 5 (Roberts, Kennedy, Alito, Scalia & Thomas) to turn corporations into super citizens. The first alert addressed their constructive treason in expressly empowering foreign corporations to speak in our elections, the second vivisected their haste and derelict abandonment of all prudent procedure. Be sure to submit the two action pages on this issue from which we are just starting to build the movement and political will to repudiate the rogue Supreme Court 5.
