Reply #17: We can never again tolerate a violation of the principle of consent [View All]

[pat_k]

We Do Not Concede - In a true America, leaders serve only with the consent of the governed, and that consent must be obtained by lawful elections that accurately measure the will of the voters. We shall not tolerate any violation of this fundamental principle, the SOLE moral tenet on which our nation was founded and has since relied...

Do your representatives in Congress understand the following five points?

1) On January 6th, 2009, each member of Congress has a duty to independently judge the validity of electoral votes and the appointment of electors.

2) There are specific circumstances – circumstances that occurred in the Elections of 2000 and 2004 – that necessitate objection.

For example, the systematic under-allocation of resources alone, which led to the lengthy and well documented wait times in African American neighborhoods, is sufficient to raise an objection.

3) It was a mistake to count the electors appointed pursuant to the incomplete and unlawful elections in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.

4) Members of Congress have the power to set the basic standards -- the "frame" – for what constitutes a free and fair election by simply proclaiming their intent to carry out their duty to judge the appointment of electors on January 6, 2009 and communicating the nature of that judgment and the circumstances that would necessitate objection.

5) There is enormous value in declaring their intent regarding presidential electors NOW.

When Congress convenes on January 6th to count presidential elector, each and every member of the House and Senate are constitutionally charged with serving as our last line of defense against an invalid result. That line of defense must be made impenetrable before the next presidential election.

It took weeks of lobbying to get one brave Senator to see the light and stand up for us on January 6th, 2005. We have three years to reach the rest of them. The time to start working on your representatives is NOW. See Making the Case to Object to Tainted Electors on January 6th.
