… or the DNC will be the "sore losers" in 2006.

Voting Activist Sheri Myers emailed this to me today. She wanted me to post this here. I really like her idea to fax this letter to the DNC.

BROADCAST WIDELY

URGENT CALL TO ACTION

November 20,2005
Sheri Myers, CitizensAct

MY FRIENDS,

Believe me, I really don’t want to ruin your day. But you need to hear this. This is an URGENT ACTION ALERT. The rally/protest is this Monday in Sacramento, we have ONLY next week to voice our concerns so they go on the record.

If you don’t read this and take action, you are allowing your vote to be stolen. California will turn red.

If you read this and do nothing, you are giving up your rights as a citizen. Do it for your country. Your children. Our future.

All Californians who care about the sanctity of their vote must let Secretary of State McPherson know that they WILL NOT ALLOW him to certify Diebold machines, that they are OUTRAGED that he is undermining our democracy.

McPherson was appointed by Schwarzenegger to replace Democrat Kevin Shelley.Folks, if they can’t win legally, they WILL steal the votes they need. THAT’S YOUR VOTE.

This is a Republican coup, and they are counting on YOU, and ME to do NOTHING. Is it worth FIVE MINUTES OF YOUR TIME to send a FAX, an email or make a call? PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.

Onward, furiously!
Sheri Myers

Please show up to speak your mind about Diebold. You have two minutes. The vendor has had hours, days, months. Shut up, you’re just a taxpayer. Even if you feel a bit intimidated by the prospect of speaking at a podium, it will feel great to muster the courage to speak your mind and make a difference. You just put your name on a card before the hearing. Speak your mind. Show up a few minutes early. However we recommend for best results, show up by 9:00 a.m. on the west steps of the Capitol building. Just a heads up, something may happen.

Signed Copies of Conyers Report
What Went Wrong in Ohio?
If ever there was a knight in shining armour, it was Rep John Conyers! While many of our democratic leaders have acted cautiously regarding election fraud and the Downing Street Memo, not our hero, John Conyers. Now it’s our time to show him how much he means to us! Please dig into your pockets and contribute generously.

JOHN CONYERS: 2005 MAN OF THE YEAR!

FROM HIS BLOG…

As regular readers of this blog know, I have never asked for a contribution on it. Today, I am compelled to break that pristine record. Raising money is an unfortunate reality of politics and, when you do not side with corporations and other special interests on legislation, you turn to ordinary Americans for help.
Today, I ask for your help in raising money for my re-election campaign and to help elect other Democrats so that we can end Republican rule of the House of Representatives, one party rule in Washington, and finally hold this Administration accountable.
For every $50 contribution, I will send you a copy of What Went Wrong in Ohio?(shown above), signed by me, and recently published by the Academy Chicago Publishers. I do not make a penny off the sales of this book and this publication house published the book more as a public service than a money making venture. They did a great job. The book has an amazing forward by Gore Vidal and the text of my Ohio report.
If you can, please contribute today.

BOB FITRAKIS ON TOUR WITH BOOK EXPOSING OHIO ELECTION FRAUD

The national launch of the new book by Bob Fitrakis, Did George W. Bush Steal America’s 2004 Election? Essential Documents, begins on June 15, 2005 in Santa Barbara and includes Ventura (6/16), Topanga (6/17), San Diego (6/18), and Santa Monica (6/19).

“In contrast to the deadly silence of the media is the silent scream of the numbers. The more you ponder these numbers, and all the accompanying data, the louder that scream grows.” —Robert C. Koehler, Tribune Media Services

This book is filled with numbers and data showing what really happened in the 2004 election in Ohio. It includes many crucial source materials, commentary and investigative reports—including the complete text of the Conyers report, prepared by the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee Democratic Staff. It is a must read for all people concerned about saving democracy and ensuring free and fair elections in the future.

Bob Fitrakis will speak about the book and his role in holding the first public hearings on voter suppression and election irregularities that lead to the Conyers hearings and the members of Congress and the Senate contesting the election in Ohio. Fitrakis is a dynamic, inspiring speaker who receives standing ovations after nearly every speech he gives. He is committed to protecting the voting rights of all Americans and is truly a national hero.
