Join the WE DO NOT CONCEDE Coalition!

Received in my email from We Do Not Concede Coalition:
----------------------------

Unlike many of you who have been in the trenches for quite sometime working specifically on fair elections, I've been an activist fighting the regime in other ways since the stolen election of 2000, but I'm primarily an organizer. I don't think I can describe what grabbed a hold of my mind this past Tuesday, but thank goodness Jonathan Simon was there to help me get it all down in what started out as a press release, and has now become an article, entitled "Deja View: Another Stolen Election? Not This Time!" http://www.opednews.com/lestrange_110604_concede.htm

Things have moved very quickly, and a coalition is forming - WE DO NOT CONCEDE - which primarily will focus on several very specific actions aimed at challenging the electoral votes given to Bush in controversial states on December 7, 2004 with another protest/challenge being planned for Washington DC in January.

I am trying to organize voters and concerned citizens, LOTS OF THEM, and organizations to participate in these actions, and ask for your support. The coalition has a lifespan of approximately 2-3 months, as we move through the choosing of electors, and through vote counting at the state and national levels. I've asked people to prepare to take action, and to repeat the mantra I DO NOT CONCEDE MY VOTE for a very specific reason: It's a phrase that travels well and will hopefully spread across this nation in a very short amount of time, as there is no time to lose. It's not an original line, many of us have used it over and over again these past 5 or 6 days - must all be tapped into something big. The coalition's endorsers are below, and I must acknowledge Citizens For Legitimate Government, www.legitgov.org, for bringing up the release on their website initially.

Please consider endorsing the actions and the coalition, OR feel free to submit input that you think might improve these actions. The website, www.donotconcede.com should be up in the next few days. I'd like to list your organizations on the site, and feel free to link my website off yours.

May we all have the strength to stay focused and united, so that we are not dissuaded by the onslaught of Bush voters (who will be acting like one of us, and causing division), Congress (naysaying or just completely ignoring), a compliant media (it's the vote tabulation stupid), and the White House (Rove's a pretty bright scary guy).

DO NOT CONCEDE YOUR VOTE TO BUSH

Stay focused!

JOIN THE COALITION OF THE UNWILLING: WE DO NOT CONCEDE OUR DEMOCRACY
CHALLENGES AT STATEHOUSES AND NATION'S CAPITOL PLANNED


November 6, 2004: JOIN the WE DO NOT CONCEDE Coalition for multi-state protests on December 7, 2004 at statehouses in FLORIDA, OHIO, NEW MEXICO, NEVADA, and IOWA, and on January 6, 2005 in Washington D.C. The coalition does not agree that George W Bush was the winner of electoral votes in the aforementioned states based on unexplained anomalies that occurred on November 2, 2004 including discrepancies with independent exit polling and network consortium data, vote "spoilage," reported destruction of Democratic registration forms, and omission of thousands of legal voters off voter rolls at precincts, who in turn were given questionable provisional ballots especially in Ohio, and in addition widespread concern over the use of privately-owned electronic voting equipment casting doubt on the vote tabulation apparatus across the nation.

Protests are planned for December 7, 2004, as by law, challenges to the selection of electors must take place one week prior to the time the chosen electors meet, which is December 13, 2004. The U.S. Congress will count the electoral votes on January 6, 2005, and concerned citizens are urged to protest in Washington, D.C. at that time, if necessary.

To participate in these protests or to help organize, please send an email to WE DO NOT CONCEDE coalition organizer, Kat L'Estrange, at [e-mail], with I DO NOT CONCEDE MY VOTE in the subject line and contact information in the body. Americans concerned about voter fraud in Election 2004 are urged not to concede their vote to George Bush, and to prepare for further pro-active measures designed to empower millions of legal voters who continue to be disenfranchised by party politics.

4. I wish it wouldn't even come to this....

I hope they find proof of the massive voter fraud that took place and I further hope that Colin Powell and John McCain come forward and admit they think shrub is a dangerous mental midget. And i hope all of this takes place on Thanksgiving Day.

No, I am not high. :hippie:

5. FLY THAT FLAG UPSIDE DOWN

My brothers in arms


These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you’ll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you’ll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I’ve watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There’s so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun’s gone to hell
And the moon’s riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it’s written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We’re fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

--Dire Straits

6. Hey, you great DUers who do t-shirts

We need ones with the upside down flag, and "We Do Not Concede". Post as soon as possible when these are done. I will order a couple and I'm sure the rest of us will do the same. We need to get going. Since it's cold in so many places now, perhaps they need to be long sleeved, or I guess, both.
