Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others.

As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor; let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own, and his children's liberty.

Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation; and Let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues, and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.

While ever a state of feeling, such as this, shall universally, or even, very generally prevail throughout the nation, vain will be every effort, and fruitless every attempt, to subvert our national freedom.

Ready to vote?

Apparently the electronic voting machines are not.



This is Jeff Waybright - Jackson County Clerk in West Virginia - demonstrating (well he thought he would be demonstrating) that West Virginia's electronic voting machines will not flip to McCain whenever someone votes either straight Democrat or for Obama, as long as they are correctly calibrated.

What he ended up showing, in stark detail, was that even when 'calibrated' these machines will flip a vote to nearly anyone on the ballot BUT Obama.

For weeks we've been hearing complaints of vote-switching from early voters in West Virgina. Here are a few who went on video to talk about their experience at the polls:





Isn't it funny that votes never seem to jump from Republican... to Democrat? That is some pretty selective mis-calibration.
