Students, ISP Sue Diebold

Quixotic1 writes "The campaign against Diebold that began as electronic civil disobedience took an exciting turn today as the EFF announced that they were filing suit against Diebold for abuse of copyright claims. They will be representing Swarthmore College students and the ISP Online Policy Group, who hosted and linked to copies of controversial internal memos."

    Methyl mercaptan has nothing on the stink coming from Diebold.

    How can one of Bush's top fundraisers be allowed to run the company producing the computerized voting machines to tally his votes in the next coup de corp?

    Check out this article on Democracy Now! for more info.

    As one of my history professors liked to put things "then they grabbed guns and ran around and the government [granted them civil rights, repealed the tax, etc.". I think we're a far cry from that. Vote the bastards out; however, when your vote has no potency or legitimacy then how exactly do you effect change?

    I prefer ye ole fashioned civil disobedience - at least until the concentration camps arrive.

    The Bush Administration is taking a big fat nosedive just before the election. Fool me once, can't get fooled again may be the rallying cry of the 2004 Presidential Election. Clearly, there where shenannigans going on in the 2000 Election, which has only emboldened spreading this around for 2004.

    For those convicted of felonies :(

    Hopefully a first offender's pardon will let you cast a ballot next fall. At least until such laws can be repealed as the anti-democratic tools they are.
