VTV Report: Voter Caging in Montana

Posted by John Wellington Ennis

This video is the first in a series Shoot First Inc. is producing for Video the Vote, the movement that comes together in the film FREE FOR ALL! Please sign up at our site to help report issues and play your part in citizen journalism.

With just five weeks before the election, the Montana Republican Party challenged the registrations of thousands of voters based on their showing up in the USPS change of address database. The mass challenge, which is unprecedented in the history of the state, was focused in heavily Democratic counties like Missoula. Video the Vote went to Missoula to talk to some of the challenged voters and to see the impact on the local elections office.

FREE FOR ALL! airs on ‘normal’ TV Oct. 15th

Posted by John Wellington Ennis

Dig it — tonight FREE FOR ALL! will broadcast on, like, traditional airwaves.

Free Speech TV gave us the prime time slot of 9 p.m.  (It must be a Presidential Debate again)

FREE FOR ALL! on FREE SPEECH TV

But on my home turf cable access television, which is the true local public television, this will reach (in theory, statistically, or someone told me somewhere) upwards of 25 million TVs.

Not to bemoan the whole “what’s the point if they steal the elections anyway,” but for all the verbal subterfuge and stalemate ideology, pound for pound, modesty aside, my movie would be far more informative and impacting on the elections than the “Debates” (read: infomercial) on every other network, reaching over 50 million actual eyeballs.

With previous swing states now polling over 10% for Obama, it is almost like a cheesy dream sequence, waiting for the jarring music and nightmarish final turn.

The “Voter Fraud” Fear Tactic Starts Full Force

Posted by John Wellington Ennis

Falling misersably behind in the polls, the GOP has struck out full force to further the false threat of voter fraud, trying to make ACORN sound as much like “Al-Qaeda-CORN” as possible.
