start calling up your Senator & Rep: NO VOTE-NO WORK

let them know now that there will be a nation wide strike if they
try to stop elections, which Ridge mentioned "looking into postponing
vote" read Isikoff's article on it.

and start preparing ahead of time to have a 10 million people march on

DC ONLY IF THEY CANCEL VOTING..NON VIOLENT - WAIVING THE CONSTITUTION

AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS, WRAP YOURSELF IN THE AMERICAN FLAG AND CARRY

ONE, BRING A BUGLER TO PLAY TAPS AND A DRUMMER TO PLAY MUFFLED

FUNERAL DRUMS FOR THE DEATH OF AMERICA. STAND OR SIT THERE UNTIL

THE VOTE GOES ON OR HE RESIGNS.bring food, tents, etc.

NO WORK, NO BUYING, NO ECONOMY FOR THEM. STAY HOME IF YOU CANT GO TO DC -

Make your plans ahead of time with your groups where to meet and what day to meet bcz you may not be able to get on DU.. DONT do your PLANNING ON DU where "everyone" can read.

1. If the election is cancelled, the terrorists have won already.

We had elections during the Vietnam War, the Korean War, WWII, WWI, the Civil War, the War of 1812 and the American colonies held elections during the Revolutionary War. Spain did not cancel or postpone their elections after the train bombing.

I don't care how catastrophic a terror attack is, elections must go on.

[Wabbajack]

3. What if the attack is on election day

early in the morning? Terrifed idiots would probably all vote for *.

[bluestateguy]

5. The election must be held on Nov. 2nd

No compromise.

If they vote for Bush out of fear then they will get the government they deserve.

[Pallas180]

6. BLUESTATE - RIGHT - call up the Senators & TELL THEM

exactly that.

Funny thing...Isikoff's article isn't on Newsweek anymore, but we
have it somewhere here on DU..

I'm looking and will reprint.

7. Is this the article?

July 19 issue - American counter-terrorism officials, citing what they call "alarming" intelligence about a possible Qaeda strike inside the United States this fall, are reviewing a proposal that could allow for the postponement of the November presidential election in the event of such an attack, NEWSWEEK has learned.

The prospect that Al Qaeda might seek to disrupt the U.S. election was a major factor behind last week's terror warning by Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge. Ridge and other counterterrorism officials concede they have no intel about any specific plots. But the success of March's Madrid railway bombings in influencing the Spanish elections—as well as intercepted "chatter" among Qaeda operatives—has led analysts to conclude "they want to interfere with the elections," says one official.

As a result, sources tell NEWSWEEK, Ridge's department last week asked the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel to analyze what legal steps would be needed to permit the postponement of the election were an attack to take place. Justice was specifically asked to review a recent letter to Ridge from DeForest B. Soaries Jr., chairman of the newly created U.S. Election Assistance Commission. Soaries noted that, while a primary election in New York on September 11, 2001, was quickly suspended by that state's Board of Elections after the attacks that morning, "the federal government has no agency that has the statutory authority to cancel and reschedule a federal election." Soaries, a Bush appointee who two years ago was an unsuccessful GOP candidate for Congress, wants Ridge to seek emergency legislation from Congress empowering his agency to make such a call. Homeland officials say that as drastic as such proposals sound, they are taking them seriously—along with other possible contingency plans in the event of an election-eve or Election Day attack. "We are reviewing the issue to determine what steps need to be taken to secure the election," says Brian Roehrkasse, a Homeland spokesman.

2. absolutely

i only disagree with one point here-
"DONT do your PLANNING ON DU where "everyone" can read."
yes and no. details of who is going where, blah, blah, no.
but really, no one wants any of this to happen, especially the "terrorist" attacks that they would have to perpetrate in order to pull this off. the point is to say, don't even try it, we are ready for you.

[Pallas180]

8. they wont wait for terra attack. Will use protest of RNC conventon

to call down martial law, or any protest before elections.

He has to have a reason to have no elections. And God help us if
we give him the opportunity to use us as the reason.

These people are cornered with the Plame indictments, the French indictments of Cheney, and a good looking duo of Kerry and Edwards.

They are desperate to hold power, which they never intended to give up anyway. The only way they can do it is to call Martial Law because
Bev made everyone aware of the voting machines. although I'm sure if there were elections they'd still try to fix them.

Even though all are going to be peaceful they;ll send in
inciters, and say the disruptors are so violent they have
to call Martial Law.

Once he has Martial Law there is no other law.

Think about it.

4. The General Strike...

... is labor's most powerful weapon. In my opinion, this should be the weapon of choice for ALL workers when confronting a wide range of issues. I like the voting application. Touche!

My next favorite idea is that of the general failure to pay any of your goddamned credit debt strike. Imagine, every idiot ever handed a credit card or sucked into the new car insta-debt program deciding one day that from this point on, they are just not going to pay until some change if affected in society.

11. We Are Fighting A Losing Battle - I Have A Better Idea

By choosing between the lesser of two evils every four years, we have sunk to the bottom of a cesspit as a country. I, for one, am SICK OF IT!!! I am SICK of not being represented by my supposed "representatives" at both state and federal levels. I am SICK of those bastard politicians doing things that are BAD for me and my family and my community. I am SICK of them pissing away money to help make their rich friends richer, while screwing us out of jobs, homes, dreams, educations, and health care!!! I am SICK TO DEATH of people not being able to find work and HAVING to join the military just so they can support their families and have medical insurance or to get an education.

I will not be voting at all (not even for Nadar as I feel he would be totally ineffectual as a President and the Repubs will just run right over him) in November. Instead, I will be protesting the election and the lack of CHOICE. I will have my sign that says "SATAN FOR PRESIDENT!!!! Because I am tired of choosing between the lesser of two evils!" on one side, and on the other explaining WHY I am protesting the election (1) lack of choice 2) Both are Bonesman 3) Neither have MY best interests in mind 4) Both take money form big corporations 5) One copped out of going to Nam, the other got home, ran for public office, and sold out those who were POW/MIA that he called "Brothers in Arms" .

Those of you who are like me and think this is just a big set up, I ask you to do the same this November. Protest with me all over the country!! Make your signs, gather fellow voters who feel the same and persuade those with the Anyone But bush attitude to join you because, let's face it, a vote for Kerry IS a vote for Bush!! Let's let the world know that the reason we are NOT voting is because we are sick of the way this country has given no choice in who are leaders are, and not just because we do not CARE, as the press keeps saying.

Send out press releases to the local and National media letting them know WHEN, WHERE, and WHY, and request that they cover your protest. Let's let the world know that we DO care about who we elect, but that we refuse to vote, not the other way around as everyone seems to think!!! Let the WORLD know that we are SICK OUT THE BS AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! LET'S JOIN TOGETHER AND MAKE A STAND!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!! BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!
