End run after end run.

Voters’ Outreach of America (aka America Votes*), a private voter registration company, gets caught throwing out voter registration cards in Nevada.

Coincidentally, the trashed forms were filled out by Democrats.

Coincidentally, the company has been funded by…the RNC.

In plain speak, boys and girls, this is called a front group, operating a scam, defrauding the American people, to tamper with an election. And it smells really bad, and very familiar.

Btw, this firm, Voters Outreach of America, is one of the firms hired to collect petition signatures for Ralph Nader in Arizona.

This week, Sinclair Broadcasting — the largest owner of local television stations in the U.S. — ordered its 62 stations to preempt regular programming to air an anti-Kerry documentary a few days before the election.

Their aim is clear: use the public’s airwaves to sway the election in favor of an administration that staunchly allows companies like Sinclair to get even bigger. Great for Sinclair’s bottom line — terrible for our democracy.

It’s not about liberal or conservative. It’s about corruption, the destruction of democratic discourse, and Big Media trying to skew elections. Together we must stop it.

Log a complaint with the FCC against Sinclair.
 
If you have a pension fund, check it to see if it has Sinclair stock, then complain if it does.

DailyKos has launched a campaign against Sinclair, aimed at their advertisers, and it’s getting results.

Sylvan Learning Center pulls ads from Sinclair.

Talking Points has more about how complaining to Sinclair advertisers is effective indeed.

Sinclair is feeling the pressure. Their homepage currently mentions the broadcast and little else, and invites response - a sure sign they are being pounded hard and unmercifully. Good. I hope their servers melt down and their phones don’t stop ringing.

Email or call Sinclair (410-568-1500) and let them know what you think of their scummy tactics.

Being as I am a highly trained, professional database developer and website designer, I, of course, deal efficiently and effortlessly with the all too familiar vexing problems caused by sometimes grumpy PCs. In fact just recently, when FrontPage failed to do something fast enough to suit me, I reacted in a totally professional manner and slammed down the mouse so hard it broke.

This is where my professional training came in! Oh yes, my initial reaction was, My God, I’ve just killed my computer. My second reaction was, My God a vicious piece of malware just killed my computer. However, after a mere fifteen minutes of testing the mouse in other computers along with numerous reboots (with and without muttered imprecations) I deduced that, considering the mouse failure happened directly after slamming the mouse on the desk, these two events must somehow be related. I shook the mouse. It rattled, further confirming my hypothesis.

So, it was off to my home away from home, Fry’s Electronics, for a new mouse. I’m about to install a wireless net in my home, and have decided to hire an experienced friend to guide me in this, my first wireless net installation. A wireless router costs a LOT more than a mouse!
