Monday's testimony to a U.S. House Committee by Mark F. (Thor) Hearne, the leader of the American Center for Voting Rights (ACVR) -- who also happens to be the National Counsel for Bush/Cheney '04, Inc. -- has just been added to the website of the "non-partisan", tax-exempt, one-week old "Voting Rights" group.
In his testimony, Hearne failed to mention to the U.S. House members, either his connection to Bush/Cheney or his long roots in the Republican party going back to the Reagan Administration. The testimony was given last Monday to the U.S. House Administration Committee at hearings held on the Ohio Election problems. The hearings to which Hearne was invited were held just 3 business days after the ACVR suddenly appeared for the first time on the Internet...or anywhere else that we've been able to find. More on that here.
Some intrepid BradBlog reader did a little research and found the headquarters of ACVR.
Little, bitty, tiny people work here.
Brad's got more on this group, and the latest on Blackwell. Go visit him and pitch into his donation jar, he's been doing some good work.

Some of you may know that Rep. Conyers has his own blog and a few may have visited, he's got a new feature - he's turned the comments on, and he wants your input on election reform.
Imagine that a representative of the people who actually wants to hear from the people.
See, there is hope and truth can prevail.
