This Saturday at 2:00pm

That's the date and time of the anti-Bush march in Greensboro, sponsored by Get Loud.

I'd like to see all who can't make it to Raleigh to come out to downtown Greensboro and remind voters that Kerry is not a better choice.

Regime Change in Raleigh, Please!

It's official. It is now easier to put a political party on the ballot in Iraq than in North Carolina:

"The certification of political entities will also commence at the same time and last four weeks. This is a necessary first step, as only certified political entities will have a right to field candidates. To that end, candidates and parties will have to fulfill certain criteria:

1-A list of members qualified for voting that contains no less than 500 individuals.
2-An internal regulations document that lists the rules that governs the party's activities.
3-Should have no connection with a militia or an active armed group.
4-Should not receive funds from any militia or active armed group.
5-The political entity should not provoke, take part or encourage terrorist or any criminal activities and violence.
6-The name of the party should not incite hatred or violence and the logo of the party should not contain any religious or military symbols."

In contrast, the state of North Carolina with a third the population of Iraq requires over 500,000 valid signatures to certify a party on our election ballot. We could get hung up there I suppose on stipulation #6; Libertarian sounding like "Liberty," which in the current era is considered a code word for hatred and intolerance. We also use that penguin symbol which some people do worship.
