Want your democracy back?!? Here's an idea:
Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely!

We need volunteer('s) willing to become internet hero ('s) demanding constitutional law be respected and enforced. Imagine a scenario whereby everyone on the planet hits on a website hosting live hunger strike's demanding justice and democracy be restored. Sort of a "Real World" meets "Ed tv" scenario where various people speak at "Democracy Rally's" perhaps at college campuses, clubs, federal office's, MoveOn rallys, meetups etc. All the whuile these activists would fast for democracy as the world witnesses. Imagine that website address were www.paperballotsnowhandcountsnowimpeachmentnow. com . It would create instant Cindy Sheehan-like buzz. That buzz will swell to overcome the inattention we are receiving now. The buzz would have a centralized theme of justice and democracy. Our rallying call is simple. We demand Paper ballots NOW! Hand counts NOW!! and Impeachment NOW!!!

The website might even serve to diseminate information regarding local protests, contact info, constitutional law facts, media culpability supporting info etc. It could suggest forms of mass protest for example, advocate withholding filing taxes since w'2's are coming shortly.People can get black armbands and print the address on them paperballotsnowhandcountsnowimpeachmentnow.com .

I do not have the time and resources to make this happen but perhaps there are those that can?
Just a thought
