"A lot of Europeans wonder:  Why are Americans so crazy, they keep reelecting this guy?”  Well the answer is, we don’t!  They keep stealing these elections!  And they stole it in 2000, they stole it in 2004, and they’re all set up to steal it again!" - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on BBC Television Newsnight.

On Friday at 6pm  and 10pm Eastern Time, BBC America will bust open the story of the systematic attack on US voters that could easily cost Barack Obama the White House. (Watch the promo below)

Jackson urges people to register to vote and to fight election fraud
By Brent Jones
September 18, 2008

(Watch the video of the panel here.)

The Rev. Jesse Jackson last night headlined a panel that encouraged people to battle voter fraud and disenfranchisement by casting early ballots and registering multiple times to vote.

Jackson, founder and president of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and a presidential candidate in 1984 and 1988, was joined by investigative journalist Greg Palast and author Jonathan Simon at the Maryland Institute College of Art. The discussion was moderated by radio host Marc Steiner.

All panelists criticized what they said were rigged presidential elections in 2000 and 2004.

"I would urge you not to allow these voter schemes to break our spirit," Jackson said. "In spite of these schemes, we can still win." (Show me more...)
