Pony up for a recount

Democracy Costs Money.

Regardless of who you voted for, regardless of what your ideologies are, this is important. There is evidence of massive misrepresentation in this election. The Green Party and the Libertarian Party have joined forces to get a recount in Ohio, but they need to raise roughly $150,000 (Because simply being a candidate isn't enough anymore), and they're a third of the way there. I pitched in $10 via PayPal. The link above goes right to their donation site.

Ten bucks is a small price to pay to make sure that people's votes are actually counted.

They've got until November 15th to get their recount bid in. That's three days. They got almost $50k in one. Just skip the dollar menu at MickDick's for ten days.

Come payday...
...I'll be putting in more than $10. Thanks for this important public service.

This is what LiveJournal does best - word-of-mouth.

I knew that Bush would try this somehow. This time he had the media clamped down nicely to prevent the initial outcry we heard the last time.

This time we have a chance to beat it. Pour in the petty cash, folks!
