What really happened in Florida

The Best Democracy Money Can BuyI was talking to Brandon and he was reading the book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and he let me know a lot about the fixing of Florida’s last presidential election that I had no clue about.

Video

Here is a quick video from the BBC (RealVid 13min) … by Greg Palast … not broadcasted on the US airwaves.

Here is the simple scoop… Felon’s in FL cannot vote. So FL hired a company to mark felons, paid them $4 million, and they got the list 95% wrong. Incorrectly knocking out 20,000 black voters from voting, even though they had no felony convictions.

Watch the video. or read the article (BBC)

I’m trying to find out more information… This makes me really mad. I’m trying to get the point out that ALL Americans… especially me, are not bad people. The whole EU thinks that.. as far as I can see.

And then there is Halliburtin not even bidding for the contract in Iraq, but actually given the contract with-out a bid. AHHHH

Something needs to change.

    ja, you’re right, the EU do think pretty much of the southern americans are not so civilised, owing mainly to ignorance. we have semi-faith in the more northern coastal states tho. essentially, anyone who DIDN’T vote bush.

    hope that helps 🙂
