Saturday 12/4 AM Action -> Wake Up MoveOn

Promote a 'great idea' to MoveOn
Dear Friends,
Do you have any "reasonable doubt" about the integrity of the 2004 election? Do you feel that irregularities, suppression or manipulation may have affected the outcome?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
The US General Accountability Office is now investigating more than 57,000 irregularities, and there are re-counts underway in Ohio and New Hampshire. Two lawsuits have been filed in Florida.
On Saturday morning, a group of concerned citizens, organized under the banner USVIP (Voting Integrity Project) will be posting a "great idea" on the MoveOn Action Forum. Under the heading Count Every Vote - Act Now!, we will urge MoveOn to mobilize their membership (us!) to demand an immediate independent investigation of the 2004 U.S. Presidential election; including the recounts in Ohio and New Hampshire.
For this action to be successful, it must be read by the greatest number of MoveOn members possible. For that to happen, we need your help in keeping it near the front of the line of "great ideas." To do that, we want you to select "agree" and give it a 5-star rating and urge your friends and associates to do the same.
Timing is critical. New ideas are posted regularly and each goes briefly to the top of the "recent comments" list. The number of votes determines which stay near the top of the pile and are more likely to be read. That's why we need everyone to vote for this action soon after we post it. We will post at a scheduled time and ask that you take action as soon after that as you can. The longer you wait, the further back a new "great idea" can fall in the queue, requiring you to take more time to look for it.
We plan to post Count Every Vote - Act Now! on Saturday, December 4th at 9:00AM PST (12:00 EST). If you are not already familiar with the MoveOn Action Forum, look at it today so you understand the process. Print or save these 5 easy steps for your convenience on Saturday.
Step 1: Go online to: www.MoveOn.org .
Step 2: Scroll down to the bottom of the home page to "Other Ways to Help." Go to the 3rd item listed there, called "Speak Out," and click on "great goals for our nation."
Step 3: Scroll down past the first 5 items listed under "Top Comments On" to the 2nd section of comments listed under "Recent Comments On." In the "Recent Comments" section look for: "Count Every Vote - Act Now!" (You may need to select for the "next 5" comments in order to find us, i.e., Count Every Vote - Act Now!
Step 4: Vote to agree with the action item and give it an importance rating of 5 stars.
Step 5: After voting, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the "Submit My Ratings" button.
On Friday, we will send an action reminder notice to everyone who has signed up on

Sincerely,
