Next step = ACLU?
Not that we haven't made tremendous progress on our efforts in the past several days...BUT...I think we need to step on everything we can right now. What do you guys think about all of us sending a fax to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)..with our compiled list of fraud charges.

According to their website, the ACLU is "monitored polls nationally and is responding to incidents of voter intimidation, vote suppression or election foul-ups."

Would it be in our best interest to show them the specifics we have? Perhaps it will make the headlines on their page if enough of us fax in. Let me know! Just throwing the suggestion out there...

2. As an ACLU member, I would add, if you haven't joined this
great organization, do it now. We may find looking to them more and more to call this administration to task.

3. Everything we can hit them with
I think we should try all fronts. Thank goodness the GLIBS are now looking at other states. I do worry that the OH and FL states were either heavily padded in no paper counties or the ballots have been switched. May be the same problem in NM and NV. Still, if we hit them everywhere someone will be the weak link. That was the mistake Gore made by jumping in as head, that played right into their hands. He focussed on FL and went the typical judicial route.

4. I dont think so
They keep pretty busy and set their own priorities based on their needs and concerns. Not that they arent sympathetic or on our side, but I dont think this is where they are needed. If we cant get it accomplished without the kitchen sink, throwing in the kitchen sink aint gonna help.
