And this is shocking to you because?
 
Actually these are facts that every black person, church and organization needs knowledge of. It needs to be posted. It needs to be socially exposed. It needs to be shouted from the roof tops at every so called black election as a means of ripping down the illusion of "how much your vote counts", providing that they DECIDE TO COUNT THEM!

GREAT INFORMATION !!
 
Need to add Fact 21 - Blacks have sat by and LET this continue unchecked.

Congressmen Conyers HAS been shouting this from the rooftops since 04 election.

But BLACK folks were put in charge of this Federal Election Commission after the '00 election and with all due respect to the sister who was running it - they didn't do a DA!MN thang! I watched some of their sessions on C-span - she was in there laughing and joking half the time while they were talking about all these issues with the paper trails and diebold. That commission was lead by black folk and didn't effect ANY change and didn't communicate the well-known scams to the black public.

It's not some mythical "They" - it is a group of corporate-backed politicians and businessmen who have a very real agenda and a PLAN to achieve it....disenfranchisement is part of the plan and I agree brother Keita - we better get serious about this real quick.
