US Vote Fraud & The CBC

I just wanted to pass this along, so that the people cannot claim ignorance on this issue. I hope you will help put pressure on their producers.

I have been flooding the CBC (I don't even bother with the other guys - I used to work for one of them ...) with information on the reported fraud behind the 2nd Bush "win", hoping that they would simply mention the fact that the results are in dispute. I spoke to several of the challengers in Ohio, and passed their comments on as well.

To this day, NOTHING. I just wanted to pass this along, so that these people cannot claim that they have not seen the information.

I'm not looking for the CBC to condemn the election. I know they will not do this. I simply want them to acknowledge the FACT that many contest the results, and that there ARE serious reasons for them to do so.

If you'd like to send them your own message, the addy is nati...@cbc.ca or cana...@cbc.ca - or you can search for other addies at: www.cbc.ca

Here is the message I sent today - Just one day before the Inauguration.

Hello again,

I sincerely hope that you aren't planning to cover the US Presidential Inauguration tomorrow, without at least drawing attention to the myriad of "irregularities" present in the election, the concerns of the International Observers, who noted "systemic fraud", or the recent challenge of the election results, and the resulting actions taken by Republicans to block any investigation.

I hope you will do a story on the TWO companies, Diebold and ES & S, who counted the votes, their production of proven-fallable touch-screen systems, as well as the fact that both companies are headed by hardcore GOP supporters.

To fail to do so would be to ignore an entire portion of the story unfolding, and would be shameful, sloppy journalism, to say the least. It would be an abuse of the public airwaves. If so, when Bush/PNAC's Fascism grows stronger, bolder, and more deadly, you'll have nobody to blame, because you aided these terrorist SOB's.

I've posted this message around the Independent Media system, as well as to several activist groups both in Canada and the USA, and a couple of the people involved in the Ohio challenge, just so people know that you have seen this, and much more, information on these matters.

Here's hoping, once more ...

Touch-screen voting machines dumped
"According to a statement released by Blackwell's office yesterday afternoon, Canton-based Diebold Elections Systems is one of two vendors authorized to sell optical-scan machines to local election boards. The other approved vendor is Election Systems & Software based in Omaha, Nebraska." (Both companies are owned by hardcore Republican GOP supporters.)

But the Republicans certainly seemed frightened about the possibility of having to defend the election results, too afraid for people who won legitimately.

INAUGURATION IN WONDERLAND!

CMAQ: Vie associative

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
