In a recent podcast Dave Winer invoked “boats” as a metaphor for integrity.

It made me think about how the ancient mariners avoided collisions at sea with nothing more than a loud fog horn.

“Sync or Swim” is a video blog inspired by the fog.

In this video blog Gracie reveals her plans to lobby Senator Boxer
(D-CA) to challenge the presidential election on January 6, 2005.

Though too young to vote legally, Gracie followed the 2004
presidential election very carefully because she doesn’t want
to be drafted into the army and killed in Iraq before
having a chance to cast a vote on these important issues.

Gracie believes that John Kerry won the 2005 Ohio popular vote for
President. She points to the Alliance for Democracy lawyer on
C-SPAN who has filed a lawsuit accusing the Bush campaign of
voter fraud. The suit shows how the vote was rigged by republican party
officials to reverse the actual Ohio vote totals: 51% Kerry vs.
48% Bush.

Gracie will be in Washington DC to protest Ohio’s 20 fraudulent electors on January 6th at noon.
