Dick Bell just forwarded me this message. This is authentic.
I am grateful to the many people who have contacted me to express their deep concern about questions of miscounting, fraud, vote suppression, and other problems on election day, especially in Florida and Ohio. Their concern reflects how much people care about the outcome of this election.
I want to you to know we are not ignoring it. Election protection lawyers are still on the job in Ohio and Florida and in DC making sure all the votes are counted accurately. I have been conferring with lawyers involved and have made them aware of the information and concerns people have given me. Even if the facts don't provide a basis to change the outcome, the information will inform the continuing effort to protect the integrity of our elections.
If you have specific factual information about voting problems that could be helpful to the lawyers doing their job, please send it to vri@dnc.org rather than to me.
The election protection effort has been important to me personally, and I am proud of the 17,000 lawyers around the country who helped. It's obvious that we have a way to go still, but their efforts helped make a difference. Their work goes on.
Thank you,
Cam Kerry

2. I like this one line - |
|
"Even if the facts don't provide a basis to change the outcome..."
Oh, sweet words indeed.
How can you be sure this is authentic? I want to hear these words but don't want to be duped.

11. Because I'm a Kerry Campaign Volunteer |
|
...who worked with Dick on the online effort. The message was sent by Cam to Dick, who does not have a DU account, so he forwarded it to me.

He says,"Even if the facts don't provide a basis to change the outcome, the information will inform the continuing effort to protect the integrity of our elections."
Does that mean he expects the facts to change the outcome?

We can't prove it, but we can still try. This bunch of thugs love to have people not be able to prove it and laugh all the way to the bank, because they are so cunning that they got away with it and you can't do anything about it. You can see it in their smug faces. It is so clear to me.

7. Just because Kerry conceded |
|
doesn't mean they are watching this thing very closely. They have been just as concerned as we were about likely fraud. But Kerry will not unconcede if there is not clear, convincing and irrefutable evidence of fraud in OH, FL or both. If we can get that evidence, it will be the gravest constitutional crisis this country has ever seen. It will make Bush v. Gore look like a child's birthday party.

A DISTRACTION!
Addresses and phones are for the Kerry-Edwards campaign HQs which no longer EXIST!
Send your stuff to BBV or your state Dem HQs or bitch to your representatives!
This was on SmirkingChimp last night and debunked, I saw the ABQ address and knew it was not right.

I'm not questioning the truth of your statement, I'm just looking for more info.
I see your answer to this question up above. Thanks.

17. Did you ever visit the Kerry Blog? |
|
Dick ran it. Dick posted virtually all the items. He also oversaw the Kerry Online forum.

19. If this is real, why the hell are they spreading this message this way? |
|
There are now far better media outlets to run this sort of message if they really want it to get out to us (how about 60 seconds on AAR, for example). If they don't, I don't think we'd be reading it.
That's assuming it's real. Not sure I believe it.

20. It's also being released to major media |
|
I guess that Cam wanted it posted here since the email campaign began here.

all the addresses are the erstwhile Kerry-Edwards campaign HQs. I was at the ABQ NM address a hell of a lot during the past 2 months.
