How many senators have you contacted to challenge the 1-6-04 vote count?

[GettysbergII]

If you haven't contacted any senators then sham on you!!! Log off of DU for a couple hours and start telegraphing, faxing, dialing and/or emailing!

4. For those who have been out of the loop lately due to work, etc.,

& find the information so overwhelming that you don't know where to begin a letter to your congresspeople, here are some helpful links & assistance:

From GregD:

I spoke with a House Judiciary staffer today
I was going to post this as an independent thread, but this thread will probably get plenty of attention.

Some of you probably know that I posted last week, asking folks to knock off the barrage of e-mail to Conyers and the Dem members of the Judiciary. In that thread, we were approached by someone that claimed to be a Judiciary staff member, who agreed to call me the next day. Well, she called today, after doing a web search and figuring out who I am, and then finding my phone number.

The caller was a nice gal, they appreciate the efforts to turn the tide on the e-mail hoax, and had the following suggestions.

1 - keep the conversation going, try to get this into the public discourse. They fully believe it was stolen (again.)

2 - e-mail the Republicans

3 - apply pressure to the White House and demand "what is going to be done about this"

4 - contact your Senators and ask for support Jan 6.

As for #3, I have to admit my own sceptical attitude - like, as if they will do shit to reveal their own corruption. But that's what she asked us to do.

As for #4, she had no suggestions as to whom, and acknowledged that she could not go there.

And from KaryninMiami:

There are lots of sample letters and congress/media blasters to help
There are lots of places, by the way, where you can easily send letters to Senators (and media) and they have been pre-written for you so you can edit or add what you'd like bu the hard paart is done!

Here are some links:

One Senator and one House Representative are required to contest an election prior to inauguration. We have the representatives. We still need a senator. Several efforts are underway to let the senators know how important this is. Here are some tools to help you participate.

Here is a web page created to help you contact your senators and the minority House Judiciary Committee, all at the same time.
