Along with the excellent
BuyBlue.org I feel its time to flex our collective patriotic muscles and
boycott the Fraud '04 kingpin co. Diebold. Boycott is one of the few effective peaceful tools we have at our disposal to fight these NeoFascists. Those of us in the
Universal Human Suffrage Movement need to start to get it organized. All our votes must be counted, no matter what the color of our skin, our gender, sexual preference, etc. If eligible to vote, let nothing stand in the way of a U.S. Citizen bound and determined to vote.
Below the fold is a list of companies that GaryBeck of DU has IDed as major Diebold Mutual Fund Investors, a Boycott Diebold website and a KarmaBanque entry for Diebold. That's a good start in beginning to think through how to approach this.
First Some Fun with Boycotting. :-)

JamBoi Note: This stuff works! You'll find if look here that there have been some very effective boycotts! Probably the most famous being the one vs. SA Apartheid and another very famous one being the Montgomery Bus Boycott that helped really fire up the mid-20th century U.S. Civil Rights Movement. This stuff really works if applied with vigor.]
