A citizen's plea to all of you.... [View All]

....and to Mr Olbermann, to Ms Harris and to Senator Kerry:

Everyone here at DU, the problem is not Ms Harris and Mr Olbermann, both of whom are placing their butts on the line, every moment of every day in defense of our Constitutional rights and our democracy franchise.

The problem, the lethal threat is from those who are driving the theocratic totalitarian steamroller.

We will not prevail by bickering; we must focus our efforts on convincing Senator Kerry to lead.

We must focus our efforts on enabling Senator Kerry to convince every truly patriotic US Senator and Representative to boycott all Congressional activity until we have halted this corrupt 2004 National election and established a mechanism by which we can vote in a fair and legitimate process who should be the next President and Vice President of the USA.

It can be done; it must be done. If the Ukrainians can make it stick so can we.

Please realize who you are and the power you possess -- all of you represent an unprecedented, intelligent and passionate network of patriots, dedicated to the ideals of our Constitution and to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice that is the reason we are all able, today, to communicate with each other, join together and act in concert to reverse the tragedy of 2000 and the corruption of 2004.

Please focus on convincing Senator Kerry to step to the front of what will be millions of our fellow citizens and lead an unrelenting effort to save our franchise and serve our Constitutional responsibilities.

Here is my letter to Mr Olbermann.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Good evening Mr Olbermann,

Understand your concerns & frustration with Ms Harris. But, from my perspective, isn't it odd that a lone ranger lawyer, Ms Harris, and a lone ranger reporter, you, are among the very few 'public' individuals trying to save our franchise of democracy.

How odd and tragic, in_deed.

Mr. Olbermann, I assume you realize, as do many of us, that the one American citizen who can bring the intense focus on the crisis that our democracy is hurtling toward, is Senator Kerry.

Let's face some facts:

1. Had the Republicans been in Al Gore's position on 7 Nov 2000 a fire storm would have scorched our nation before they would have allowed their opponent to be inaugurated.

2. Had the Republicans confronted what Senator Kerry and Edwards did at ~ 2200, 2 Nov 2004, a fire storm would still be scorching every square foot of our nation. (want an example, just look at how frothy and loathsome they are being in the WA State Governor's race -- i surmise for more reasons than just getting Rossi into the governor's mansion; they don't want all those ballots actually scrutinized and compared to the current tables in the county's databases).

3. Had just ONE US Senator stood with their courageous colleagues from the House of Representatives on that horrible, treacherous day, 6 Jan 2001, our nation and the world might very well have been spared some of the most imperialistic, immoral and illegal activities witnessed in the past 100 years.

4. Thus, we must not let the 2004 national election stand. We must force a nation-wide audit. We must force a nation-wide commitment to allow every citizen equal access to a ballot and to an absolutely unambiguous accounting of how their vote is recorded or WE HAVE NO GOVERNMENT; we will have defaulted to tyranny because the franchise of democracy begins and ends with the robustness and accuracy of it's electoral system.

We must HALT THIS ELECTION.

You can see the letter I have written Senator Kerry here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph ...

As I've indicated to Senator Kerry, he cannot 'win' this election; no one can 'win' this election, because this election is not valid based on what we already know regarding voter suppression.

Mr. Olbermann, I've been working on the contents of this letter since late in the evening o! f 2 Nov 2004. As I've told several individuals who have corresponded with me on various drafts of the letter -- our franchise has been hijacked; the decision now is do we rescue it or do we continue to delude ourselves as we have been doing since 7 Nov 2000, and hope for it to be returned unharmed? I opt for the rescue mission.

We will prevail but not by approaching the situation in a 'business as usual; we'll get if fixed for next -time' manner.

It is no longer a matter of politics, party, or party organizations. The rescue operation will be successful by how committed every citizen is to its success. Senator Kerry is the only person at this moment who can authoritatively and selflessly enunciate what the challenge is and why we have no choice but to call halt, account as precisely as possible what has transpired, and then take appropriate action.

Without Senator Kerry's visible and vocal leadership, now, we go from that extraordinary mis-step into darkness that is the legacy of not even a single Senator enjoining the fight with their courageous colleagues from the House of Representatives, on 6 Jan 2001; to a somewhat delayed, but inevitable confrontation with an even more entrenched and vicious tyranny.

Unfortunately, I don't have the stature or resources to lead the rescue mission. If I did, I wouldn't be sending you this email or writing a letter to Senator Kerry; I'd have already been rescuing it.

Mr. Olbermann, I must rely on you. Please just post the request to Senator Kerry or call him -- whatever it takes. Please call on him to step forward and lead all of us in a valiant, and likely successful endeavor to save our franchise and the credibility and value that so many of our citizens have made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve and share.

Thank you,
