Send your Kerry stuff back to the DNC to protest inaction on recounts
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 12:02 PM by BurtWorm
Passing along what I just read at the Progressive Dems of America blog:

ACTION SUGGESTED TO REACH DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP
Filed under: Vision Dem. Party Platform— kspidel @ 11:20 am
Some creative and hardworking Kerry volunteers are dismayed that Kerry has just about vanished, and the Democratic National Committee (the DNC) has been really quiet about all the voting and counting problems with this election… Incredible machine problems have emerged (one in Ohio recorded negative 21,000,000 votes!) Lots of voting place hassles, misinformation, appalling waits, etc, have also been documented.

So, because they can’t get the Democrats to respond to them (one has gotten 2 funding appeals since Nov. 2, though…) these Minnesotans are suggesting that people who want the Democrats to come out aggressively as the Party for Clean Elections and Voter Enfranchisement send back their Kerry t-shirts, buttons, etc to the DNC.

They aren’t conspiracy theorists; they’ve just all been using computers (and cars, washing machines, etc) too long to believe that ANY machine is 100 per cent INFALLIBLE. And they want to assure CLEAN ELECTIONS and ACCURATE COUNTS in the future.

They’ve put up their suggestions and a creative form to send to the DNC at http://loyalopp.tripod.com/fairvote.html

PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG QUICKLY. LET’S SWAMP THE DNC!

FIRST THINGS FIRST. Without Election Integrity guaranteed, our democracy is DEAD

1. I'm packing up my $300.00 woth of Kerry tees, hats
and buttons and shipping them to the DNC ASAP.


Sometimes if we take too much time to think about stuff, we bail out and give in to the authority.

Americans as an whole, are typically lazy, TV and computer heads.

TAKE ACTION!!!

2. Also, keep an eye open for "DNC Listening Tour"
DNC reps will be doing a "listening tour" to hear concerns from the party's grassroots.

The first one will be happening this Friday in St. Paul, MN, and is cosponsored by the MN Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party and the MN DFL Progressive Caucus. Visit www.progressivecaucus.net for full details if you want to join us.

5. Maybe send one Kerry thing?
Or a couple? :shrug:

Of course, what good is any of that stuff now anyway? At least by sending them back you'd be sending a message. Otherwise you'll have to wait 40 years before they're worth anything again.

9. He joined the Ohio recount
In one of the counties that was trying not to recount, he joined the lawsuit. Oh well.

Let's see, 100+ million people voted. Even if only 5% were from the far left, that would be 5 million people, right? So what's the problem? Storm Ohio, nothing is stopping you.

11. Pay attention. He has joined the Ohio recount efforts. Green party has a
press release up on their site. I just heard on AAR that K/E is now joining the recount in every county in Ohio.

He is getting involved in a very careful, well thought out manner. It is the smartest way to do it.
