Free to a good Cause, a machine that can contact 10,000 people in 2 days
Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 01:08 AM by mikelewis
I have a telemarketing machine. I used this machine to set sales appointments for security systems. It took me a whiile to get the message right but I got good results from it. I haven't used it as I have gone back to installing. As far as I know, it works great.

I am looking for a group that could use this machine to further our efforts on this vote fraud issue. It can handle 2 lines at the same time and has the ability to record responses. It can cover roughly 10,000 numbers in a few days.

I am not asking for any money to use this machine and will donate its use in this cause. I would like some ideas from DUers on the best way to utilize this machine and would like the group that desires to use this machine to make available in a timely fashion the results of the message or questions put out by the machine. This is a very easy to use system and can be up and running in moments. I will transport it to your location in Northeast Ohio and verify the ligitimacy of your organization as this unit is very expensive. I will assist in setup and halp you retrieve the information from the responses. Believe me, this unit is very very easy to use.

Sincerly,
Michael Lewis

2. No because I want to know the results and I want DU to know the results.
Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 01:14 AM by mikelewis
I am sure someone from the GLibs are monitoring this site and so they would know that this is my only stipulation. I want to know the results and I want them shared here, daily. I don't feel that this is too much to ask.

4. Wow! That's great!
I have got to keep this kicked just to show support. I don't know of anyone who would need it, but I am sure the brilliant minds here can come up with something. Thanks for contributing to the fight for democracy!

7. Possible use of the machine! Opinion Poll
Possible ideas:

Call with meassage:

This is an opinion poll from Voters of America.

We are conducting a poll to determine whether or not you believe the President stole this election the same way he stole the election in 2000 or do you believe he stole it differenlty this time.

Question #1:
Are you an American citizen who believed you voted in 2004 presidential election?

Question #2:
Are you aware that the exit polls show a disparity between the exit poll data and the actual ballot total and that in some countries they consider this as a bad thing?

Question #3:
Are you aware people actually believe Bush got reelected by the voters?

Question #4:
No, really, do you HONESTLY believe he was reelected by the voters?

Question #5:
Do you know who George Bush is and if you say you do, how can you possibly believe he was actually reelected, I mean come on!?!


Question #6:
Okay, really, do you honestly believe, I mean deep down where it really matters, in your gut, beleive George Bush was reelected? I mean fairly, like he didn't cheat or anything? I just want to remind you quickly about Iraq and the Weapons of Mass Destruction, the 9/11 story and all that jive. With this in mind, do you still believe he was re-elected? Seriously?

Question #7:
If you do believe, then would you be interested in some fantastic real estate I have to offer? This is prime land, it has been drained of all stagnant water and the sound of nature will astound you. The price is a low $45,000 a quarter acre and all you need do is say yes on the phone right now and this wonderful land could be yours today!

8. Someone should use this to contact churches in Ohio and other
potential support groups to get out a message about the rally on Sat and also to get more volunteers for the glibs.

14. PUSH Poll...
Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 09:59 AM by IndyOp
Could we do a PUSH poll -- an honest one? PUSH polls have education as their primary goal though we can also collect opinions at the same time.

The Republicans have used dishonest push polls in the past to discredit Democratic Candidates. They set up a phone poll to ask questions like "Would you be less likely to vote for Bill Clinton if you knew that he had fathered sixteen illegitimate children during his first term in office?" Their questions give information that happens to be completely false.

In YOUR push poll you could educate!

1. Are you aware that in a recount of all ballots cast in Florida after the 2000 Presidential election Al Gore won no matter what criterion was used in the recount?

2. Are you aware that computer vote fraud was involved in setting conditions that stopped the recounts in Florida in the 2000 Presidential election?

3. Are you aware that evidence exists that shows that vote fraud occured in the 2003 elections for Governor of California?

4. Are you aware that the two biggest voting machine companies - Diebold & ES&S have strong ties to the Republican party and that the CEO of Diebold, Walden O'Dell, stated his committment to delivering the votes in Ohio to President Bush in the 2004 election?

5. Are you aware that at least five of the officers in Diebold have been convicted of felonies - most notoriously Vice President Jeff Dean who was convicted of 23 counts of felony - some of which involved computer fraud?



What do you think? What do you think?

17. I'm no expert, but that sounds good to me.
Just the facts.

10,000 in a few days? In how many days would we have called every home (in Ohio)...this week Ohio, next week??

12. Would it be possible to organize a poll?
Imagine doing a poll of 10,000 people in a Florida Democratic County that Bush won. Did you vote for President in the last election? Who did you vote for? If the poll showed that Kerry won, it would lend support to the theory that there was voting machine tampering.

13. Suwannee County, FL!

This is the county where the Miami Herald did his controversial partial count. He chose 6 out of 16 precincts, allegedly "randomly" - but a closer analysis shows that Kerry got his best percentages in exactly these precincts. So the randomness of this probe is questionable. In the other 10 precincts (not recounted by the Herald) Bush got about 75%.

Suwannee is a small rural county in the North of Florida, about 25000 eligible people, 70% registered Democrats - i.e. a typical "Dixiecrat" county. A good case for testing the "Dixiecrat" hypothesis.
