I am breaking my pledge to not post to any more political threads. This is outrageous. Please, please write to your legislators and tell them NNOT to vote for this, if it gets that far. INSIST that they NOT take away our right to VOTE! Here's a bit more:

Newsweek said DeForest Soaries, chairman of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, wants Ridge to ask Congress to pass legislation giving the government power to cancel or reschedule a federal election. Soaries said New York suspended primary elections on the day of the Sept. 11 attacks, but the federal government does not appear to have that authority.

The disclosure comes only a few days after U.S. authorities said they believe that al-Qaeda is planning a "large-scale" attack in the USA aimed at disrupting the presidential campaign and November elections.

Does anyone really believe the Cheney-Rumsfeld-etc. cartel isn't behind any "possible" attack which may come at such a fortuitous time for their little "darling?"

Gonna be a revolution, yeah...
