WHAT: ReDefeatBush and others protest crimes against democracy in the election

WHERE: Friday, Nov. 19, Noon to 2 p.m.

WHERE: LaFayette Park in Front of the White House, Washington, D.C.

DETAILS: Libertarian candidate for president Michael Badnarik and Green Party candidate for vice president Pat LaMarche will speak at a protest rally Friday at noon in LaFayette Park in front of the White House. The event has been organized by the Committee to ReDefeat the President, a federal political action committee, which is organizing citizens via a Web site called BeAmerica.org. It is holding a demonstration against the suspcious and highly selective mismanagement of the 2004 election by local authorities in Florida, Ohio and elsewhere on Friday November 19th from Noon to 2 p.m. in LaFayette Park in front of the White House.

"Our goal is to expose the crimes against democracy committed in Ohio and Florida and show them as part of a pattern designed to benefit Bush rather than as isolated, local, minor 'glitches,' " said ReDefeatBush founder David Lytel. "There is compelling evidence that the voting 'irregularities' last week were not random, and we are calling upon state and local law enforcement authorities to investigate. We would not expect either the Congress nor the U.S. Department of Justice to take effective action -- as they failed to act in 2000 -- because the leaders of these institutions place loyalty to their political party above their love of their country, its laws, and the Constitution, which specifically sets out penalties for states that disenfranchise citizens."

"We are calling upon concerned citizens to get off of the Internet and into the streets," said Lytel.

2. Excellent action plan.....
The down side is that the notice is not timely for cross country travelers......I hope this gets the movement launched and becomes infectious!
