Commentary: Should International Monitors Observe U.S. Elections?<\/a> By Debra Link<\/p>\n

Electronic voting machines can easily be tampered with to affect the outcome. …<\/p>\n

It is arguable that the office of the President of the U.S. was taken illegally. …<\/p>\n

World hegemony through militaristic means (something this administration forthrightly claims) is on a heedless roll. This administration will not relinquish power easily.<\/b><\/p>\n

I suggest a national petition drive calling for international monitoring of our Presidential election. This could be launched conceivably on the internet. If international media picked up on the fact that multitudes of Americans were so insecure with their eroding democracy<\/b> that they were entreating the larger world community to observe their election process this November- well, it would be quite telling.<\/p>\n

Everyone should be familiar with rising concerns over the trustworthiness of the election process in the US. Diebold is usually the subject of these discussions. In the full version of her commentary, Link mentions a company called ES&S (Election Systems & Software), as well. Her specific examples are alarming. This president, chosen by his father’s judges, believes he was chosen by Jesus. He is on a mission to change everything as fast as he can. What exactly is ”unimaginable” anymore? mjh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
