We would like pass on our hopes that you have a wonderfully successful year in 2009. There will be struggles and there is certainly a lot of work to do including with elections. VotersUnite.Org will spend this year doing all we can to decrease vendor control over elections and hold vendors accountable for their failure to provide the goods and services they promise. We will also work hard to hold those who are supposed to have oversight over elections responsible for their failures. In other words, it will be a busy year this year….

aye John. If nobody said it I will.
I hope things are going good for you (lifewise) and I thank you for all you have done. Not everyone here is in perfect health, but I think we are going to have to suck it up and keep at it awhile longer. I especially would like to see the lady out in Florida that had the Sheriff stop her from pollwatching and then not charging her, be a reverse situation in 09. Where the COPS are scared to be there cause they know they are lit with cameras. No more Choreography and Fake Homegrown Terrorist / Public Disturbance nonsense. Our officials are more of a public disturbance / Terrorist than we ever were!
Other than that, I hope we manage to get electronics outlawed in our elections in 2009.
WTF!? — it’s a goal.
