Hacking Democracy - Official Website and DVD

I sent this out tonight. And HUGETHX to Jeannie for trying to get hard copy of DVD for me and to Dianne Carry for sending me the links to you tube - an in order yet. To: CAMPaign@kloppenburgforjustice.com
Subject: "Hacking Democracy"
Cc: sheilaparks

Dear JoAnne and Melissa,

I had a brainstorm tonight to send you the documentary film "Hacking Democracy", but it is too late to send you a hard copy so I am sending you nine links, below on youtube, so you can watch it.

As I write that, I will order and send you the DVD after the holiday.

I think it is one of the most important films ever made; it was nominated for the academy award and aired on HBO many times.

It shows the famous Harri Hursti hacks that Black Box Voting organized and produced of electronic voting machines

If you go to the Hacking Democracy site, http://www.hackingdemocracy.com/ you can read more about the film.

From the front of the DVD: "Disturbing stuff...it's not shocked-shocked you feel watching this: its' genuine shock." The New York Times

From the back of the DVD: HACKING DEMOCRACY takes a nonpartisan, clear-eyed look at the secrecy, cronyism, and incompetence of elections in present-day America as it captures a citizen's movement intent on taking back elections - and democracy itself. "It is hard to imagine...a documentary this season that is more important to the civic life of the nation - let along one that is so compelling and ultimately moving" (Baltimore Sun).

And again from the front of the DVD: "Raises enough questions about the security of the ballot box to perturb partisans of any stripe...unravels like a '24' episode." Boston Herald

The film is about 81 minutes long and although released March 27, 2007, it is even more true today.

Happy Watching. I wish I could send you some popcorn - organic and not GMO, of course.

"All Hands On Deck!" in Wisconsin.

"All Hands On Deck!" in Wisconsin.
There is a battle in Wisconsin that we all need to help win. That's why Blue America has a new Wisconsin Recall page and why we've invited state Senator Chris Larson and Senate candidate Sandy Pasch onto Crooks and Liars for a live chat this Monday (2pm, ...CT). As you probably remember, earlier this year the extreme Republican Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, pushed through a radical attack on basic labor rights. His plan to strip workers of the right to bargain collectively for protections against unfair treatment and unsafe worker conditions was one of the greatest assaults on working families in the last half century. Now he's pushing a radical, destructive agenda that guts priorities like education, health care and help for seniors while giving hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks to huge corporations. These elections matter far beyond the borders of Wisconsin. The Walker agenda is being duplicated in state after state by the extreme Republicans who swept into power in last November’s elections. This fight for rights and the basic values we all hold dear will reverberate across the nation, impacting elections in every region of the country. Every donation is combined with other grassroots supporters around the country to make a BIG difference. Can you give something today? A prime example of the Wisconsin recall elections is in the 8th Senate District. Over the course of a few months, more than 30,000 residents signed petitions to recall Walker-ally and friend of special interest, State Senator Alberta Darling. Darling is a 19- year Republican incumbent who has embraced the extreme conservative agenda. From slashing money for women’s health care, to raising taxes on seniors and the working poor while giving tax breaks to big corporations, to gutting money for our school, to making it easier to carry a concealed gun into days cares, malls and bars, Darling is a prime symbol of why we need to win these recall elections. Democrats need just three net victories to take control of the state Senate and create a firewall against the reckless Walker agenda. Winning Darling’s seat will be a critical part of that equation. She is vulnerable. Polling shows she can be beaten, and even her Republican allies in the Senate have said to the press she is in trouble. Luckily, we have a true progressive who will take on Alberta Darling, stand up to Scott Walker and put our shared values first. That leader is Sandy Pasch. Sandy is a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, born and raised in Milwaukee, and has over 30 years of experience as a clinical nurse and educator. She has dedicated her life to helping others and we need her now more than ever win back the Wisconsin State Senate and stop Walker’s assault on Wisconsin’s working families. On May 31st, the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board validated the recall petition signatures, triggering a special election on July 12th in the 8th Senate District. Senator Darling won her last election by only 1,007 votes, making her a top target for a Democratic comeback. Sandy is the candidate who can take on Alberta Darling and win. But to win, we need your help. Winning these recalls will not just help protect Wisconsin-- it will send a signal to the entire country that we will stand up to extreme, divisive agendas that hurt our values and threaten the priorities we know are so important. Help us today, and this summer in Wisconsin will be the first step in our national efforts to stand for the ideals we believe in. Thanks for doing what you can, Digby, John, Howie and the Blue America team See More

Join us as we inaugurate Walkerville, a tent city on the Capitol Square!

The state's Joint Finance Committee will attempt to pass a budget on to both houses of the legislature on Saturday night. We're taking to the streets to fight back.

Each day of Walkerville will focus upon a particular theme. This first night is for all of us to come together to demonstrate our unity, declare our outrage, and to build our community.

Chaos erupted at Thursday night’s budget committee meeting as lawmakers tried to start debate on funding cuts to cities and counties, money for “choice schools” and recycling programs.
about an hour ago ·
  • Chants of "Whose house? Our house!" and "Shame!" filled the Capitol last night as lawmakers started debate on Walker and the GOP's proposal to cut aid to local governments that will make it harder for communities to pay for the services that middle class families rely on.

    • Ashford Wyrd and 68 others like this.

      • Carol Tilly Metzger We "WI" voted the way we did because we were lied to by these politicos working for their corporate masters. I have only seen laws enacted that harm "We WI" - where are the jobs? How is that trickle down of giving the rich tax breaks helping us? Answer me Troy and Don.

      • Aaron Hook Walker & the legislature is on the public tit. Where are their cuts?


  • More details of last night's JFC hearing. The Republicans seem to be in a hurry to beat the recall elections. The scorched earth approach will come back to haunt them.

Nickolaus: ‘I wouldn’t wish what I went through on anyone’ Waukesha County Clerk speaks for first time since Supreme Court race error





Nickolaus: Waukesha County Clerk speaks for first time since Supreme Court race error

From Comments:
Chris says:

Thank you for writing this. I’m on the #wiunion team, although I’m not one who has been claiming that Kathy Nickolaus committed fraud. Still, I was very disappointed by this interview. The Freeman asked lightweight questions. For as much prominence as this article had, why was she asked about her feelings more than about her actions?

I am willing to consider that she simply made one mistake after another. I’m not even so concerned about whether we get an apology. However, I certainly would’ve appreciate some acknowledgement of why so many people were upset at all. She seems to have no idea of how her actions (and inactions) caused so many to feel disheartened and distrustful of election processes. She’s oblivious. Yet she also is probably right. With several elections between now and 2012, there will be plenty of people in this county who give her a pass and re-elect her. Waukesha County will be a laughing-stock in front of the rest of the state.

And although I am a Christian, I don’t see how an interview about a professional mistake is the right place to focus so much on one’s faith. Then again, since it seems to have been an interview about her feelings and coping with the whole thing, maybe it was appropriate after all. Too bad the Freeman didn’t do a real interview focusing on an incident that brought our county to national attention.
