Bob Fitrakis, The Free Press: The questions surrounding Election Day in Ohio and Karl Rove s meltdown on Fox TV election night are causing a buzz in the election integrity movement. We do know the circumstances were eerily similar to election-tampering techniques discovered after the 2004 election.

Grand Bargain betrayal

Our Future

With the election behind us, President Obama and the lame-duck Congress return to Washington to face a fiscal showdown, occasioned by automatic tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled to kick in after the first of the year.
