NAACP joins effort in Ohio
The NAACP National Voter Fund joins in solidarity with CASE, the Free Press, National Voting Rights Institute, and many other groups as we seek a recount of all the votes cast on November 2, 2004 in the state of Ohio; something that never happened in Florida 4 years ago. By almost all independent accounts, had the 2000 Florida recount not been
halted by the US Supreme Court in December of 2000, it would have led to the election and inauguration of Vice President Al Gore as president.

Let it die if this is a dupe.

1. NAACP should be screaming bloody murder over all the
despicable voter suppression aimed at minorities also.

That is the most easily proven of all the "voter irregularities".

3. I want to forward this to others, but the link is cut off above.
When I click to open, it displays text that can't be cut and pasted, with no URL showing. Can someone help this technically unenlightened newbie figure out how to get a copy of this that's forwardable?

Thanks, web wizards!

8. It's a PDF file
If you click the disk in the upper left corner to save it then you can send it as an attachment!

4. Well it's about damn time!
What have they been waiting for? Maybe proof positive of disenfranchisement.

5. NAACP has a big gift called "FU" to send to Little Boots this Christmas
I hope they put the whole force and weight of their organization behind investigating this tainted election.

I can't even look at my Republican friends without wondering if they realize the depths that their once honorable party has sunk to. (Well, at least as honorable as any political organization can be :eyes: )

7. I am glad to see the NAACP join in on the fight but this is just as much
our fight to win as it is theirs, so we must begin to feel as they do, we must put ourselves in the shoes of those who have been pushed around to many times when it comes to the rights they are guaranteed or should be given to them, when those who are oppressed the most are granted the protection of their country then we can be certain what remains of the citizens will be protected as well. We must fight as they have and will continue to because they are our brothers and sisters so therefore it is our duty as Americans which must lead us to it.
