Open letter from Leland Goldblatt
On Friday I received a phone call from a good friend who works at CBS
- I've known her for years and she is a Producer for some of the news
programs, one well known one in particular. She tipped me off that the
news media is in a "lock-down" and that there is to be no TV coverage
of the real problems with voting on Nov. 2nd. She said similar
"lock-down orders" had come down last year after the invasion of Iraq,
but this is far worse - far scarier.
She said the majority of their journalists at CBS and elsewhere in NYC
are pretty horrified - every one is worried about their jobs and
retribution Dan Rather style or worse. My source said they've also
been forbidden to talk about it even on their own time but she was
pissed and her journalistic and moral integrity as what she considers
to be a government watchdog requires her to speak out, even if
covertly, and she therefore asked me to "spread" the word...She said
that journalism and the truth are at stake. She said another friend of
hers, a producer at MSNBC, said that an anchor by the name of Keith
Olbermann had brought it up on his show on Friday eve and the axe came
down. He's at least fighting back and talking about it on his "Blog",
but she said that people there are worried that he's going to be fired
by higher ups.
She said at this point the only way that the "real news" was going to
be known is if the people started talking about it and made a big
enough stink about it to our elected officials, the FEC, and "noise"
to the international media, that our own media won't have any choice
but to cover it. The only place you'll see this talked about right now
is on the internet and on AirAmericaRadio.

- she has
been filing 1000's of information requests under the "FOIA-Freedom of

10) Email or Fax Ralph Nader - Yep, here's his op****tunity to make up
for any feelings of bad will after the 2000 election and the current
one. Ralph has been a lifelong advocate for us, the consumer and
little guy and he is actually in the unique position right now to do
something since he was a Presidential candidate and has the ability to
be listened to. He has actually already filed a challenge in NH (not
that he is looking to overturn the results, but because he can prove
there may have been bigger problems and he qualifies there as having
been on the ballot).
http://www.votenader.org/media_press/index.php?cid=400
Urge him to do this across the board on a national level. The media
seemed to love him before the election, could they possibly ignore him
now? Contact Ralph at - 202-265-4000
11) Call/email Jimmy Carter at the Carter Center: carterweb@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
call at (800) 550-3560
Former President Jimmy Carter and the Carter Center are considered to
be the most experienced in the election process and conducting fair
democratic elections - urge him to get involved and investigate
possible fraud and the unexplainable discrepancies throughout the
election involving the computer voting machines, especially in swing
states

Here's a post from a computer programmer:
http://www.equalccw.com/dieboldtestnotes.html
Anyone can download the Diebold security code, and Diebold left their
code wide-open, available for download to anyone on their ftp site.
Diebold electronic voting machines have zero security, no way to verify
accuracy and no paper trail.
I downloaded their GEMS voting software (28 megs) and easily hacked it.
Try it yourself:

Here is a link to the actual (real) voting data (MS Access files)
http://speakeasy.seattle.wa.us/jmarch/sloprimary030502.zip
I can't believe how easy it is to manipulate votes.
Is this the type of voting software we should be using in America?
