Voters for Sale

"...the privatization of our voting systems continues and is the primary emerging threat to the freedom and fairness of our elections",
sends a shiver down ones spine doesn't it? So much is being given over to privatization. Our roads,bridges,schools,public services,etc. WE no longer live in a nation with checks and balances. No viable public oversight. Even the oversight to some degree is private. Today's coverage in the PSN Statewide Dispatch focuses on the privatization of our vote and voting system. For all voters, this is a must read.

Erich Fromm was right-"hope can be realized only by recognizing.......the danger of a society of automatons.....who will have lost every trace of critical thought...and yet will not be aware of it."
