Kerry PAC to Focus on Voter Disenfranchisement
Tuesday 18 January 2005 @ 01:53


The Boston Globe notes in tomorrow’s edition that the new Kerry PAC formed after the election will be focusing on voter disenfranchisement and more. Last Wednesday I reported here on LUTD, that some recent changes had been made to the Kerry website.

From the tomorrow’s Boston Globe:

Without offering details, Kerry aides said yesterday that the senator plans to file legislation to correct some of the election problems that occurred in 2000 and 2004. Aides also said that a political action committee he started after the election -- a committee that could lay the groundwork for a second presidential campaign in 2008 -- would also be dedicated to preventing disenfranchisement.

After the disputed vote in Florida in 2000, Congress approved the Help America Vote Act of 2002 and authorized $4 billion so that states could create central computerized voter lists and update voting systems by 2006. But many states have not yet made improvements, and two federal agencies are planning inquiries to look into problems that plagued both old and new systems last November.

From JohnKerry.com:

With your support, johnkerry.com is fighting for a national standard for federal elections that has both transparency and accountability in our voting system. It's unacceptable in the United States that people still don't have full confidence in the integrity of the voting process. I ask you to join me in this cause -- and in working to make our voices heard on the most critical issues of 2005.

I understand the strength, commitment, and passion that are at the core of what we built together -- and I am determined to make our collective energy and organization a force to be reckoned with in the weeks and months ahead. Let's roll up our sleeves and get back to work for our country.

3. To Kerry 2008 PAC from somebody who worked for Kerry in OHIO

Fuck Off!
Where were you 1/6/05? It would not have changed the outcome but the Conyers
report would have given Kerry cover. Make the repugs defend the indefensible.

No retreat? No surrender?

Wyoming had a 106% turn out of registered voters. The fraud was massive. And
Kerry did not stand up when it counted.

6. that makes me sad

I really don't want him to run again. I feel betrayed, and I am not convinced he is really on our side.

[sarcasmo]

7. He does not need to run again in 08, no personality.

[mutius]

8. the neo cons

well destroy the Democratic party by 2008. we are done its over.
so it doesn't matter who runs.

9. Good for him, but as of now I'm looking elsewhere . . .

I feel wildly betrayed by his abrupt concession, followed by virtually zero activity to give a voice to those who supported him when there was ample evidence that something fishy was going on. I think he would have made a fine President, but I plan on voting for someone in four years who will really FIGHT.

10. I'll gladly give $0.00 to Kerry's PAC just like I did to his GE campaign

Oh, and is he starting with the $15 million left over from the GE? Don't worry, he'll squander it, like he did his best chance to win the White House in 2004.
