but thank you for keeping us in the loop.

yipee yipeeee:bounce:

[satori]

37. I sure hope he gets in the game

I sure hope he has come to his liberal protest roots like what he was in the 60s. Perhaps some of the hippie protesters he was with in the 60s deprogrammed him to be a liberal again.

[FogerRox]

38. [e-mail] Ready to Advance the troops

OUr targets are NYC--the headquarters of CBS, NBC, and ABC. And In Washington DC--look out the assualt starts on Jan 2nd untill jan. 6th.
http://www.51capitalmarch.com/

[ChicanoPwr]

51. I will send a message to my folks down here in Texas

I will see if I can get some people from Texas to go over there to join you.

[FogerRox]

67. Great but folks in TX can do it in TX--Target ABC NBC CBS

6 peeps and some signs and you have a protest---LOL


Kerry WOn--we can prove it--
Get ready to march

[e-mail]

http://www.51capitalmarch.com/

[JohnOneillsMemory]

111. Right on. But understand you're targeting the CIA, not 'the media',

They do need to feel our outrage and demands to give justice some air time.

I just want to underscore that the TV networks are CIA assets and have been for decades.

Operation Mockingbird never stopped. It grew along with the media host.

I just heard that Harrison Ford is going to be making a feature film portraying the slaughter in Falluja as a 'heroic act' on the part of the US. 'Indiana Jones and the Demonic Muslim Insurgents' will no doubt be the theme to hide the fact that the US became the fascism it fought against in WWII. We'll probably be seeing more 'Black Hawk Down' type feature films to get those teens into uniform.

Yup. Psy-ops IS THE RULE IN THE MEDIA. TV is killing us.

[pacalo]

40. Important question, Will...

Should we turn on one of the news networks to see it, or will the news be on the internet only?

[pacalo]

41. (sorry...dupe)

[bear425]

42. Thanks Will for the heads up! And for the great work you do! n/t

[keepthemhonest]

43. that 's it

Kerry is smart he is going to say something while while the 12 oclock news is on, so they can interrupt to bring the message

[fooj]

49. Ho Ho Ho

Santa Claus IS coming to town!!!!!!!!!!!!!Miracle on Pennsylvania Avenue!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[fooj]

76. Wow...

I feel like I'm at Times Square waiting for the ball to drop...5...4...3...2...:bounce:

[Nictuku]

52. If Kerry joins the fight

There will be one less 'argument' which I keep hearing from Democrats and Republicans alike:

"If there was such damning evidence of election fraud, then why hasn't Kerry said anything."

So, no matter what, if he is stepping up to the plate, it is a good thing. But then we should all brace ourselves for the right-wing propaganda machine to attack.

[HEAVYHEART]

44. Goddammit Will!

You are such a tease! I love you! :*

45. Thursday story--Kerry Presidential Campaign Critized Cuyahoga County BOE

Kerry backer questions Cuyahoga recount (partial text)
http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/news/110379794240050.xml



Thursday, December 23, 2004
Diane Suchetka
Plain Dealer Reporter


John Kerry's presidential campaign criticized the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections Wednesday night for its handling of the presidential recount and said some parts of that recount should be conducted again.


That won't happen.


The board certified the recount results Wednesday, which means they're official and will be forwarded to the secretary of state to be included in statewide totals.


The new numbers show Kerry beat George W. Bush 448,503 to 221,600 in Cuyahoga County. In the recount, Bush lost six votes and Kerry gained 17.


Board and staff members responded immediately to some concerns raised Wednesday night by George Taylor, a law professor at the University of Pittsburgh who lives in Cleveland Heights and who spoke, he said, on behalf of the Kerry campaign.

[JaneDoughnut]

53. That's the big news?!?

Dude, you ARE a tease. ;)

Clicking refresh button again....

[roenyc]

58. perhaps Kerry will

un-concede in response to that news? can he at this point?

[sabra]

57. That's not Will's news, but still good news...

[Quakerfriend]

50. Will Rivers Pitt you are da MAN!

Hugs and kisses for all your updates!
Keep hope alive folks!
:hug:

[lonestarnot]

71. He da man!

[mzmolly]

55. I fear no matter what the man does, people will bitch. But I'm encouraged

Prepare for the nay sayers Mr. Pitt.

"Is this all!?"

"He's stealing the Green Party's thunder!"

But thanks anyhoo! :toast:

I am awaiting the announcement and the "DU fallout" "DU disapointment" "DU bitch session" that will surely follow.

I hope I'm wrong about the later though.

[Pacifist Patriot]

63. LOL! I've been thinking the same thing all morning.

No matter what the news is, there will be negative backlash of some kind or another.

[seito]

83. lol!!!

Aint it the truth

[JaneDoughnut]

97. I was not trying to bitch

That's why I put the little winky icon next to my comment - see? ;)

[bluedonkey]

60. Ok

I've been all over this site and I cn't find it!
If it's big news Why can't I find it?

[roenyc]

62. we are waiting for it.

[Karenca]

66. within 47 minutes :)) nt

[roenyc]

69. OMG Fox is talking to king county!

[proudbluestater]

75. Blue Donkey, he said within the HOUR, at 11:47 or something

[bluedonkey]

84. Thanks proudbluestater

I'm gonna have a heart attack before this is over!

[Cyclical]

82. Psssst....

I don't think it broke yet, so it's gonna be hard to find :P

Kinda weird, that news today has a release date like any novel or CD would, isn't it?? Like, aren't we supposed to know about news... oh, I dunno, when it happens?

[Stuckinthebush]

65. In which forum will you post it?

I will keep a vigil.

[lonestarnot]

68. Has it been an hour yet? Is it soup yet? More coffee!

:donut: :yourock:

[ohio_liberal]

70. 25 minutes

Turn it upside down
Got to hear (un)concession

[shiina]

74. "goes live"? where should we tune in?

[roenyc]

77. can you believe whats going on in WA.

the republicans all of sudden are yelling about voter fraud! its amazing how when the votes on the other foot they all of a sudden dont want votes to count or want votes counted or dont want them counted. Fox just said they want to re-do the entire state. and may not have it settled till Feb. too disgraceful.

[bunny planet]

80. I know, it's insane, they just can't let one thing go against their favor,

they are such control freaks, hypocrits and liars.

[understandinglife]

81. Just what we want them to be screaming---think about it ;-)

[Terre]

107. Let us all focus on the last paragraph and MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

"Perhaps the most significant aspect of all this, from the activist point of view, has been the effectiveness of the telephone calls and letters to Kerry. The activist push to get him involved had a very significant effect on his decision to enter this effort. Likewise, calls to other Senators in order to convince them to join House members in challenging the election have likewise had significant effect. If such an effort continues, the activists involved will very likely see the desired result unfold."

Thank you Will; very much for those statements.

Related statements can be found at BradBlog -- Brad's first, formal endorsement of major activism:

http://www.bradblog.com/archives/00001072.htm

To wit:

"At this time, The BRAD BLOG officially endorses such an action in the U.S. Congress, based on so many of the reports we have now seen that no longer give us confidence in our electoral system. If such an action is necessary to bring attention to this growing confidence crisis, then we heartily endorse it and will work to help ensure that at least one Senator comes on board this time around. One is all it will take.

The Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) have set up an easy online form, to help convince a few key senators.

As well, we have been receiving more and more comments and email in regard to people hitting the streets to reclaim their democracy based on everything we have seen, reported on, and helped to ferret out since November 2nd.

To that end, it is now the official BRAD BLOG position that people should indeed begin "hitting the streets" in this regard."

We will prevail.

[caligirl]

108. While waiting, another thread says my congressman Boxer

Is willing to step on to the ledge on the electoral vote thingy if she hears more support from the Ohio Dem congressionals. Thier name and contact info is posted so I'll sart calling while waiting for the news.

[proudbluestater]

110. I'm not sure what to believe. I heard Harvey Wasserman of

freepress.org say earlier today she was not going to do it?

[caligirl]

109. Thread requests your urgent help, I called Boxer yesterday

and asked for her help on this. So this is really good news.

112. Ah..Just in time to be too late to matter.

114. Putzing to the finish line, better late than never lojasMO

[lojasmo]

115. Why, so he can look like he put up a fight while losing?

Fie on john Kerry. He never would have done shit about this if it hadn't been for Cobb and Badnarik. They are the REAL heroes here...JK is just basking in their glow.
