Scott is going to be in so much trouble right now and this is going to be published on the internet.

Capitalize on the digital era during the voting process

This is a call for all people to start collecting suspicious items and actions from now until a couple days after the election. In every election things get dirty on both sides and tactics are used that in many cases are downright illegal if not just unethical. When you go to the polling stations bring a camera with you, video camera's if possible. Stick around for a while, especially in high profile districts. I am not a conspiracy theorist nor am I claiming that this election is going to endure the most horrendous attempts at theft possible. Rather I am stating that for the first time in history, we as a people of the public, have the ability to capture and distribute material as evidence of these attempts to confuse, deceive, threaten, derail, and even deny voters. Simple things can now be done in a high tech fashion. If you have an IP phone try and see if you can find a way to utilize an audio recording software to record phone calls in case you get a "robo call," those calls that have automated voices and are related to political topics usually in regard to a specific candidate. Whether it is for the presidential election or just your local mayoral race we now live in a day where again we must fight for the right to vote and for our vote to be counted. No we are not facing an epidemic of voter fraud and voter denial but we are facing some and some is too much. It doesn't matter what side does it, either side is wrong if they do and the public has a right to know.
By capturing these moments we can begin to hold those responsible for these actions accountable and force them to face the due consequences that for so long organizations and individuals have so long been able to avoid. If you capture anything on film, video or audio or receive anything on paper in the mail or as a pamphlet or door hanger, please place it on the internet. If you do not want to do this yourself please send me a message or leave a comment.
Remember not only would you be capturing footage with the intent to look for suspicious activity but in the end you are possibly capturing VERY historical footage of maybe the election of the first African American President or one of the biggest presidential comebacks in history. So even for the sake of history bringing a way to document what happens at your local voting center is a great idea.
Remember that before you, millions of men and women have died for this right alone. Your right to place your vote for who you think deserves and is qualified to be the president of the United States of America. It is this right that makes this country so great and although our system may be flawed, it may not be perfect but it is our right to vote for people who we think will help make this country better and possibly help fix this process down the road. Don't let our heroes die or have died in vain. Make our millitary proud and our fore fathers and our long passed relatives who brought us here or our Mothers and Fathers who raised us here for this right. To make a statement, have a say and place a stake in what we believe in. Vote on November 4th at the VERY latest and vote even earlier if you can and help others vote on the 4th.

And for a little news about Twitter since I am a technology freak:
Like the Australian election worm but with witticisms, the Twitter Micro Blogging Application, buzzed yesterday with non-stop comments about vice-presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin during their debate.

The site, which allows for public messages with less than 140 characters to be published online, was inundated with comments from Americans debating the duo's speaking prowess.

The comments ranged from their appearances: "Palin's looking fly tonight. Who is she wearing?'' and "Blinded by Joe Biden's teeth. Holy cow!'' to their policy stances: "Palin totally nailed the "who's to blame for the mortgage crisis" question; Biden missed it.'' and "Biden talking tax relief? Really? From a Democrat? Does he know what that is?''

But the primary focus of the tweets were on how the rivals were conducting themselves on television. Many were keen to see how Palin would perform in the live debate after she was widely panned for her one-to-one interviews with US news host Katie Couric.

Others wanted to see if gaffe-prone Biden would make another slip-up.

"Palin is sure speaking fast and sounds nervous, voice is rising in pitch,'' one user twittered. Another disagreed: "Palin is rockin' the debate! I think shes winning, if your' e keeping score.'' On Biden: "Can't wait for Biden to A] put foot in mouth B] fly off handle or C] all of the above. :)''

The debate was not restricted to Americans, and even Australians got caught up in the chatter.

"Hang on, I'm confused. Think I'm mixing up two threads on Twitter. Does Sarah Palin play for Melbourne Storm or Manly?''

"Palin says "Main Streeters", drink up people,'' someone twittered. "If I was taking a drink every time Palin said Alaska, I would be drunk already,'' wrote another.

Some users were also playing drinking games and playing Palin Bingo, a game where players competed to see how many key words Palin would repeat, while writing comments and watching the debate on television.

Golden Parachutes, Cement Boots and whats the cost for me and you? Election Cartoon of the Day.

So for a campaign bail out that is unpopular if voted for and unpopular if not voted for the Senate made the unpopular decision to pass and it is now heading to the house. Now we see Obama at least putting forth the effort and image by speaking at the Senate while where is McCain? 24hrs from NYC to D.C.? No speeches? Call off Debates to work on Bill? Well at least he voted unlike the 40 or so more missed votes he has than Obama, although to be fair most Presidential candidates miss a lot of votes. I wonder what Palin would have done if given the opportunity to vote or even speak and address senate on this issue? Golden Parachutes are handed out and whether or not popular it is the necessary evil at this point. I guess at least as Pundits put it we didn't get another Miss South Carolina speech from Palin on this issue to quickly kill McCain's credibility even further.

The US Senate has passed a reworked version of a multi-billion dollar financial package aka the Bail out Bill, designed to resuscitate the economy by a 74 to 25 votes, after adding several “sweeteners” including multiple tax breaks for businesses and greater security for bank deposits.
The new version of the bill included temporarily raising the limit on the size of bank deposit guaranteed by the government federal to $250,000 (£136,000) from $100,000 (£54,000).

A bundle of tax-breaks, for research and development and companies using alternative energy that was due to be part of different legislation was added on in an effort to win over Republicans worried that too much public money was being used.

After the collapse of six major US financial institutions and falling stock markets around the world, George W Bush was joined by both candidates to succeed him in urging the Congress and the public to accept the bill, which would use up to £380 billion in taxpayers’ money to buy bad assets on Wall Street.

Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain were both present for the vote, which was missed only by the ailing Edward Kennedy.

"I commend the Senate for tonight's strong, bipartisan vote," Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said in a statement on the 74-25 vote. "This sends a positive signal that we stand ready to protect the U.S. economy by making sure that Americans have access to the credit that is needed to create jobs and keep businesses going. I urge the House to act promptly to pass this bill."

Deliberations took place behind the scenes Wednesday, as senators added breaks and sweeteners to their version of the economic rescue plan.
