The anti-Nader Democrats have spread their big lie to discredit Nader and silen
ce his anti-war and progressive message that Kerry could not rebut. The anti-Na
derites hired Stanley Greenberg to conduct surveys and focus groups to determin
e how best to smear Nader. They found that falsely claiming Nader was funded an
d controlled by Republicans was the most effective line they could use — a lin
e that can’t pass the laugh test when compared to the facts.
Preliminary CRP results: 50,000 contributions who have given to President Bush
or the Republicans have given $10,697,198 in large contributions to Kerry. This
means 100 times more Republican money has been contributed to the Democrats ca
mpaign than to the Nader-Camejo campaign. That amount is five times the entire
budget of the Nader Presidential campaign!

I know it’s, err, a little after the fact, but I just noticed this and thought
it was interesting that Nader chimed in to the Sinclair protest/boycott:

I think most iPod users wouldn’t trade in for one of these, but it does offer an impressive set of features, including massive storage, analog AND optical line-in, and an FM tuner. Also much respek to them for listing RMS output.
Due to its massive storage and analog/optical line-in features, this could be a nice solution for some production situations. For radio ENG it could be a minidisc killer. Too bad it can’t capture to high bitrate mpeg-4, or loss-less ogg, or uncompressed audio, otherwise it could be a lifesaver for low budget film and live music recording.

Black Box Voting is conducting the largest Freedom of Information action in his
tory.
At 8:30 p.m. Election Night, Black Box Voting blanketed the U.S. with the first
in a series of public records requests, to obtain internal computer logs and o
ther documents from 3,000 individual counties and townships. Networks called th
e election before anyone bothered to perform even the most rudimentary audit.
America: We have permission to say No to unaudited voting. It is our right.
Among the first requests sent to counties (with all kinds of voting systems –
optical scan, touch-screen, and punch card) is a formal records request for int
ernal audit logs, polling place results slips, modem transmission logs, and com
puter trouble slips.
