It won't work this year, though, not if turnout keeps up the way it has been.

They were also under the impression that they could purchase a sort of 'elected office of the month club'. It did not work. Outspent their rivals by miles. They lost.

The Free Press will be conducting election monitoring and election defense in Ohio on election day. This is a major campaign and we need your help.

We have:

Access. Through our partnership with the Green Party, our election monitors can be in the polling places, watching the setup, voting, close out, and chain of custody of ballots and electronic ballot boxes. We can watch the tabulation operations at each county board of elections in Ohio. We have the same access as monitors from the Democratic and Republican Parties.

Lawyers. We have a few good lawyers who will be on hand in Columbus and Cincinnati to take affidavits and file for injunctive relief as needed. We will defend election monitors who are wrongfully arrested or harassed by local law enforcement and others in the course of exercising their citizen's rights.

An Operations Center
We have a location with computers, video editing capability for our video the vote project, 2 radio stations and our website to make this project run smoothly.

Experience.
We have been monitoring elections for 8 years. We know all the legal ins and outs, what to look for and where to go.

Intelligence. We have been extensively researching election fraud in Ohio. We are confident that we can send our monitors to where they are needed knowing what to look for.


What we need:

YOU! If you are a registered voter in the state of Ohio, and you contact us before Sunday the 4th, you can be an election monitor and participate as part of our team. There are 88 Counties in Ohio, and thousands of polling places. Get out and be the boots on the ground and help us stop this fraud before it happens. Contact us at truth@freepress.org to get involved.

Money. If you are not in Ohio, but you still wish to help, consider making some small donation to the Free Press. We are a small organization that lives on microdonations. Please earmark your donation for "election defense" so that we may spend your donation in line with stated donor intent. Donations to the Free Press in general wont make us cry either.

Social Media Force Multipliers: We need people to repost, chain email, flike. fshare, tweet, pin etc our election monitoring results. If you are far away you can still have a say.


Remember folks this is your Democracy. Yours to cherish and Yours to Defend. Governments dont defend democracy, Citizens do! Be in touch
