Coalition Against Election Fraud (CAEF) Interested in Filibuster
Strategy

Sheila Parks of the Coalition Against Election Fraud (CAEF) contacted
activist on Sunday, January 2, 2005, with questions and interest
regarding the filibuster strategy against Ohio Electoral Ballots.

This strategy would have Senate Democratic leadership challenge, then
filibuster, the Ohio Electoral ballots. The authority for Senate to
do this is under own rule (Rule XXII) on debate. Since the U.S.
Senate would adjourn from the joint meeting with the U.S. House of
Representatives - in the event of a challenge; the U.S. Senate,
therefore, meets as the U.S. Senate itself. Thus, its Rule XXII
governs. Rule XXII applies as opposed to 3 U.S.C. 17; the Federal
statute states debate is limited to two hours. Rule XXII provides for
unlimited debate unless 60 Senators vote to end debate.

The U.S. Senate rules are granted by the U.S. Constitution: Article
I, Section 5, Clause 2. The U.S. Constitution trumps a Federal
statute. In short, 60 votes trumps two hours. Rule XXII applies to
any "...other matter pending before the U.S. Senate...." This
strategy would allow 45 Democratic Senators - if they stand firm - to
block Bush's election on January 6, 2005. Foreseeably, the filibuster
could be in effect for weeks - as long as it takes to resolve the
fiasco fairly in Ohio. This would prevent Bush from being inaugurated
on January 20, 2005. According to the plaintiffs in the case, the
amount of votes in dispute exceeds Bush's so-called "margin of
victory". In addition, the plaintiffs indicate Kerry is actually
leading in Ohio in a true, un-manipulated, un-suppressed, un-
fraudulent vote count.

Note: foreseeably, the only way to stop Bush is with the filibuster
strategy. If the U.S. Senate - and House of Representatives - both
vote on the Ohio Electors, the Republicans control both houses, and
by majority vote would approve the Ohio Electors - and Bush - as
President. The filibuster strategy would allow the U.S. Senate to
block the vote from occurring through unlimited debate - a
filibuster - until the fair resolution of the legal dispute noted
above.

CAEF is reviewing the strategy with its own legal team, and is
considering undertaking this strategy in lobbying efforts with the
U.S. Senate.

Sen. Reid, D-NV, and Sen. Corzine, D-NJ, Staff Reviewing Rule XXII in
Comparison with 3 U.S.C. 17 in Possible Consideration of Filibuster
Strategy

The Senate offices of Senators Reid and Corzine are aware of the
conflict between Rule XXII and 3 U.S.C. 17 when visited by activist
citizen today, January 3, 2005. The comparison of the statute and the
rule is part of the filibuster strategy outlined above. Apparently,
some U.S. Senate offices staff are looking at this comparison; this
could possibly indicate an initial review of the filibuster strategy
by Democratic Senators!!!

The Constitution did not give the Senate authority to make rules that violate Federal law.
