"Something's fishy in Ohio" (Chicago Sun Times)

The Cincinnati Post "Jackson questions Bush win"
http://www.cincypost.com/2004/11/30/jack11-30-2004.html

Sorry if these are dups...

Jackson gave us a good PUSH-- these are mainstream media websites!!

ALSO this one: "DAVID COBB: America needs a recount in Ohio"
http://www.modbee.com/24hour/opinions/story/1879093p-9804430c.html

It's so gratifying to see some of the OUTRAGE we've been feeling reflected in the faces of higher-ups. Go Jesse!!

2. agreed
dunno if they're dupes, but I like this quote from the last part of the first article

"This country needs no more Floridas and Ohios. This shouldn't be a partisan issue. We call for a constitutional amendment to guarantee the right to vote for all U.S. citizens and to empower Congress to establish federal standards and nonpartisan administration of elections. Harris and Blackwell are insults to the people they represent, and stains upon the president whose election they sought to ensure. Democracy should not be for export only."

7. JJ is the greatest-- I loved his demeanor when he spoke of...
FRAUD

And he wasn't afraid of saying it, either. As I mentioned, he was very angry.

10. I love how the Rev. Jesse Jackson uses words
"Harris and Blackwell are insults to the people they represent, and stains upon the president whose election they sought to ensure."

From Something's fishy in Ohio BY JESSE JACKSON
Chicago Sun Times article dated 11/30/04

Jackson used a great analogy about being the owner of the team
and the umpire.

"You can't be chairman of the Bush campaign and then be the chief umpire in the seventh game of the World Series," he said."

From the Cincinnati Post article Jackson questions Bush win
By Roy Wood Post staff reporter

11. This is a great article for bringing out the main points.

"Ohio determines the election, but the state has not yet counted the vote."

12. FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY Ohio Rally 12/4
I was fortunate enough to hear Rev Jackson speak in Columbus last Sunday. He is such a powerful voice. Come to Columbus and hear him for yourself. Everyone was up on their feet with tears in their eyes. We need more LEADERS to step up to the plate! If anyone has contacts, please have them contact CASEOhio.org. this issue is going to fade away unless we DEMAND that it doesn't!

13. Go Chicago Sun Times!!!
Living in Chicago it was nice to see on of our papers stand up. I have given up on the Tribune, but the Sun Times has earned my respect.

My favorite line: "Harris and Blackwell are insults to the people they represent, and stains upon the president whose election they sought to ensure. Democracy should not be for export only."

I think people are starting to recognize...
