DESCRIPTION:Emergency Rally to Demand Fair and Accountable Elections and to Support the 
  Recount in Ohio.  Monday, November 29th 12:00 Noon  Office of Senator 
 Barbara Boxer  1700 Montgomery St., #240  San Francisco, CA 94111  We 
 insist that Senator Boxer and all of our representatives take immediate  
 action to safeguard the elections process. A small contingent of us have  
 been invited to talk with Boxer's aide, which we very much appreciate! We  
 would like to have a huge group of people outside to show support and to  
 make a lot of joyful democratic noise!  We demand draft legislation to 
 ensure:  - Minimum standards in voting procedures throughout the US. -  An 
 auditable paper trail for electronic and all voting machines. - That all 
 "spoiled" ballots and provisional ballots are counted by hand and  fairly. 
 - To uphold and enforce the Voting Rights Act to prevent the continued  
 disenfranchisement of minority voters. - A complete investigation into how 
 to revamp the current processes to ensure  fair and accountable elections.  
 We urgently ask:  That Senator Boxer join with Reps. Conyers, Holt, Nadler, 
 Scott, Watt, and  Wexler in demanding a Government Accountability Office 
 (GAO) investigation  of the tens of thousands of reported complaints 
 regarding the 2004 election.  That Senator Boxer, as our senator, support 
 the recount in Ohio being  performed on the behalf of the Green and 
 Libertarian candidates for  president and the Nader Campaign's recount in 
 New Hampshire as a  non-partisan effort to ensure that every vote is 
 counted.  That Senator Boxer support the Ohio Democratic Party in their 
 lawsuit to  order Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell to impose uniform 
 standards for  counting provisional votes in all 88 counties.  Cosponsored 
 by United For Peace And Justice, The American Friends Service  Committee 
 (Pacific Mountain Region), CODEPINK Bay Area and the Ronald ReaganHome for 
 the Criminally Insane- \n\nnext rally:\n Monday, December 6th 12:00
