Sign up! Show Normy that the longer he drags this out, the more money our progressive friends will receive.
Here is a great fund-raising bandwagon to jump onto: for every day that former Senator Norm Coleman refuses to concede his lost race for the US Senate, you can donate $1 to Progressive Change Campaign Committee (who will put your dollars to good use supporting the campaigns of progressive candidates). They have already raised more than $23,500 and you can sign up at NormDollar.com. You can also check out this article on the Huffington Post about the campaign.
The Florida GOP is ramming through legislation to make it very difficult to vote:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/4/21/93552/0423
“Voting rights advocates are outraged after a Republican-dominated committee in the Florida House passed sweeping new election rules after allowing only six minutes of debate last Friday.
“The 81-page bill, which among other things eliminates two forms of ID used mostly by elderly voters and restricts third-party voter registration, now moves to the House floor without any chance for public testimony. A similar bill is on its way to the Senate after surfacing at the last minute and passing an elections committee on a 5-3 party-line vote late week.
Do you suppose we could ask Norm Coleman to send his lawyers down to Florida to fight for voters rights? How about John Cornyn?
I am a Democrat. I don’t know if I am a liberal although I have been called a liberal fascist by at least one commenter on this blog. In any case, I am not a member of the “give it up Norm” group. The reason is that I consider this election to be a test of the election system and the judicial system in Minnesota. So far I am quite pleased with the results.
I want to know how our Supreme Court and our Governor deal with this. At this point it appears to me that the results are accurate and the system has dealt fairly with both parties. I prefer to let the process run its course. I don’t want lingering questions once the election is finally decided. If it goes beyond Minnesota though, there had better be good reason.
All of the parties involved will be judged on how they respond to the final outcome of the process as it is determined by the State of Minnesota. An appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court will only be tolerated if there is a reasonable basis for doing so. Unfortunately, we have good reason to suspect that the U.S. Supreme court has been compromised. If this election goes beyond Minnesota and that action is not justified, the eyes of the world are on us. It will not go unnoticed and there will be consequences if the result is unjust.
Prejudging this is foolish and counterproductive. I want a winner who won the electoral battle not the political battle. I prefer Franken but I only get one vote. I want the electorate to win this one and I think that is the majority opinion. Let’s see how it goes.
Так не бывает. А то что мы оставляем приличные коменты, Вам только в помошь, только не до всех это доходит. А на тех блогах где сами блогеры и их коллеги матом разговаривают и хамят, хороших коментариев и ждать не чего.
