Ask Senate and House Members to Declare Their Intent Jan-6th
<snip>
We have come to the conclusion that we can no longer tolerate the
intolerable. We all watched in horror (many for the first time) as the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 opened by recounting how our political
"leaders" sat idly by on Jan. 6, 2001 as the Congressional Black
Caucus tried nobly but futilely to object to the unlawful Florida
electors.

But even Michael Moore seemed unaware of "the rest of the story."

On Jan. 7th two Democratic Senators were asked by Tim Russert
why they didn't come to the defense of their House collegues. Their
answer (in unison): "Nobody asked us."

1. Well we're asking them now.

We hired them and we can fire them. They better contest this election.

...who were the two senators?

2. That's not quite right
Didn't the members of the house ask them to come to their defense?

4. Gore told the Senators not back up the house




This is what I heard, that Gore begged Sen. Leahy and other Senators NOT to support the House and contest the election. Leahy apparently was about to help them.
