If all that Congress & media have seen is what has been published in the AP, then they haven't seen
anything.
I don't have a FAX, but I have written a 23-page 'congressional briefing'. If you have a FAX, please print the pdf version of "The Case for Fraud in Ohio Election 2004" and FAX it (with a personalized cover sheet) to key Senators. Please come back here and let me - and everyone else - know to whom you have sent it.
I posted the summary in 'pdf' and 'doc' formats here <
http://www.bpac.info>. I do not own any of this material -- it comes from Conyers' letters, Green Party recount observers, Arnebeck's lawsuit, affidavits, the FreePress website, and the work of the great people who post here at DU. I posted it in ".doc" format so that anyone who wants to use any portion of it for any good purpose can cut and paste and
run with it>.
