Stealing America, Right Under Our Eyes

Almost everyone who’s been even half awake for the past eight years is aware that there are a number of problems with our voting system, ranging from disenfranchisement to harassment to allegations of vote fraud to widespread use of those electronic voting machines that just might not count votes properly.

Stealing America, Vote by Vote, a newly released documentary by Emmy-winning filmmaker Dorothy Fadiman, is one of the best I’ve seen. I strongly encourage every patriotic American, every concerned American, every person who cares about our democracy, to get out and see this film as soon as possible.

Click here to see the film trailer, clips, and the latest schedule and locations for upcoming public showings of Stealing America, Vote by Vote. As of today, upcoming cities include Irvine and Beverly Hills, CA; Denver; Royal Oak, MI (Detroit); Minneapolis; Philadelphia; Washington, DC; Cambridge, MA; Santa Fe; Portland; Berkeley and San Francisco, CA; Austin, TX; Seattle; and Columbus, OH. DVDs are not available yet, but you can let the film-maker know if you want to get one as soon as they are.

And then don’t just roll over and play dead. Get out and DO SOMETHING to help protect the upcoming November election, one of the most critical in our nation’s history. Visit the film website to take action as well as check the latest schedule.
