Who else thinks Moveon should run ads about BBV related issues
particularly getting peoples congresspeople signed on to co-sponsor the paper trail legislation. I believe that would be more constructive than the current ads, of which I wonder about how affective they are.

1. Yea, sure....
Let's try to convince people that voting is a complete waste of time...

The trick is to educate, without causing fear. Something that is very difficult to do with a couple of 30 second lectures.

3. Increase voter turnout
Make it virtually impossible to rig the numbers.

Rather than discouraging voting, encourage people to overwhelm the system.

Get 'em mad and get 'em voting.

4. Listen to RedEagle folks. We gotta get people to the polls.
And have exit polls. They can't pull the BBV stuff in that scenario without causing general riots.

2. Yes. We need a public outcry.
If BBV is in use during the election, Bush will win - even if he loses.
