Hacking Democracy - Official Website and DVD
Sheila Parks
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.

Justice Clarence Thomas received $100,000 from Citizen's United during his approval process, then ruled in their favor. He also lied on his financial disclosure forms to cover it up. But we're all too busy talking about Weiner's weiner. : politics

City grants permit for 'Walkerville'
Defend Wisconsin
A city committee green-lighted a request for protesters to use Downtown streets for a "Walkerville" protest village starting Saturday night but required that most tents go down during daylight hours, frustrating organizers who said the restriction will likely be violated because it contradicts the spirit of the movement.

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.

Evangelical Christians and Electronic Voting Machines
I'm pretty sure a lot of our election problems are courtesy of people who are serving a "higher" purpose than the Constitution and laws of the USA.
re Jesus, Stephen Spoonamore, a Republican and a computer software engineer who's career has... included auditing Diebold ATM systems for banks, working with segments within the NSA and Homeland Security has said he noted that nearly all the people involved in programming the voting machines are devout, born again "christians."
