We do not concede our democratic rights.

by No Stolen Elections (update)
While hundreds of thousands of votes in Ohio have yet to be counted and
reports of voter disenfranchisement throughout the country ­ particularly
among minority, immigrant, young, and low-income Americans ­ continue to
pour-in and questions are left to be answered about the massive gap between
early polling data and the final total in Florida ­ a state where half of
the voting populous used touch-screen machines that leave no paper trail,
John Kerry just conceded the presidential election.

KERRY MAY HAVE CONCEDED THIS ELECTION, BUT WE WILL NEVER CONCEDE OUR RIGHT
TO A FAIR AND JUST DEMOCRATIC PROCESS!

Thousands of people in nearly 40 cities took to the streets yesterday

Sisters and Brothers,

While hundreds of thousands of votes in Ohio have yet to be counted and
reports of voter disenfranchisement throughout the country ­ particularly
among minority, immigrant, young, and low-income Americans ­ continue to
pour-in and questions are left to be answered about the massive gap between
early polling data and the final total in Florida ­ a state where half of
the voting populous used touch-screen machines that leave no paper trail,
John Kerry just conceded the presidential election.

KERRY MAY HAVE CONCEDED THIS ELECTION, BUT WE WILL NEVER CONCEDE OUR RIGHT
TO A FAIR AND JUST DEMOCRATIC PROCESS!

Thousands of people in nearly 40 cities took to the streets yesterday. No
one has the authority to undermine our rights, to silence our voices and
our vote. There are many unanswered questions about the integrity of this
election and we need to continue to demand answers. We urge you to continue
your efforts to protect voters’ rights and push for investigations into
voting irregularities, and to transform your frustration, depression, and
outrage into action.

FOUR THINGS YOU CAN DO TO DEMAND DEMOCRACY

1) MONITOR OHIO. Watch the situation in Ohio and be ready to respond to
calls of support from Ohio groups. Read the reports by
http://www.blackboxvoting.org/ and by Greg Palast
(http://www.tompaine.com/articles/kerry_won.php) alleging that Ohio's
touchscreen machines skewed the election. See also
http://www.accuracy.org/press_releases/PR110304.htm

2) MEET-UP with members of your community. Have a community meeting to
create a space to speak-out and discuss voting irregularities in your
community, what happened nationally, and where do we go from here to demand
accountability. Post your meeting on-line at http://www.Nov3.US - click on
"Directory of Local Actions."

3) CONNECT with the Urgent Response Network:

1. Sign the Pledge of Action, and check your email for alerts
2. Check this and related websites regularly
3. Sign up to receive text-message alerts on your cell phone
4. Call 917-779-0013 for an automated voice mail message

4) INFORM YOURSELF about and advocate for the full platform of voting
rights, election, and structural reforms that will democratize America. Go
to http://www.Nov3.Us and click on "Defend Voting Rights," "Reform Our Elections,"
and "Deepen Our Democracy," for some great places to start.

Again, stand by, be vigilant, and don’t forget that all of your efforts for
peace, justice, and democracy are going to create positive change in the
long run . . . . AND MARK YOUR CALENDARS: JANUARY 20, 2005, INAUGURATION
DAY, WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE NATION OUR MOVEMENT IS STRONG!

FIRST He starts with bush won O with some 136,000 votes and goes into the chad thing, well this post that got me to respond here mentions the touch -screen ballots in ohio, when gregs article says Ohio is the last state to use punch-card and that is the focus of his fraud viewpoint. I believe Illinois which made some noise uses almost primarily punch-cards-which aren't fullprooof but much more Auditable than the machine vote!-which Greg never brings up in this short article- come-on Bring It On Home, it's unprecendented how how electronic voting is suspect and can add or subtract, and Greg implies Ohio is hanging on to luddite ways, would he like to see the recording of our vote to be even more tchnological? in the middle of his article he repeats that Bush won by the 136,000 Again, why?
I heard his CD somewhat , loved it but let us not be to entertaining, fluffy or glib , I appreciate the wit and effectiviness of Twainsism sacarasm. but we need a total Princeton Profs gathering and analysis of all the data within 2 weeks -not a quick pop job within two days, I know you can do bettter Mr. Palast and if you find anyone picking up the slack please incorporate IT, we are talkin" the Akashic record here, this is about not succumbing to widespread taming, victimization and subjugation to prevent the flowering in the following of human spirit destiny. This article that rolled tonight and applies is called 2004-The Year of the slave
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/yearoftheslave.html

I don't understand where that article gets us on our feet, the evidence I have found in the little time I have to finish this sting operation , points me toward a scribing of history much more UMMPHul!
