Need 27,000 people NOW Please Read and then Kick! |
|
Dear :pals:
Today, we surpassed the 27,000 mark with our online petition. The hand signed version of the petition has over 1,500, and more are rolling in hourly. We are nearing the conclusion of our petition campaign. There are still more than 30 hours to get the word out! Please go to www.ContestTheVote.org right now and click on 'Tell Others'. Then dump your entire address book. Dig deep! We can make 50,000 signatures by the deadline, which is 8:00 AM, PST on Jan 1, 2005.
This is crunch time.
Hand delivering the petitions to the senators by constituents will have an additional impact. We still need volunteers to print and deliver the petitions to senators in many states. If you are interested in volunteering, please let us know. Send us an email with “Volunteer” in the subject line and your contact information (name, address, phone, email address) in the body of the email.
We are continuing our efforts to coordinate with other groups. If you are organizing a rally or related event, please let us know. We will list it on our web site and send out a mailing to people in your area.
Contest the Vote is turning up all over. Grassroots participation has been strong, with people collecting signatures at rallies and events around the country. We’ve gotten lots of coverage, including airtime on Air America. Much thanks to all who have helped get our site listed on hundreds of sites and blogs online. We are now listed on over 500 different web pages, including the front page of Michael Moore’s site. Not bad for 3 weeks’ work!
Thank you for your support in keeping kitchen table activism alive.
Sincerely,
Maegan Prentice www.ContestTheVote.org ContactUs@ContestTheVote.org

5. after you sign the petition CALL THE SENATORS!!! |
|
TELL YOUR SENATOR AND ALL THE SENATORS TO OBJECT TO THE CERTIFICATION OF THE VOTE ON JANUARY 6-- call them friday call them on tuesday and wednesday you can leave messages for them and i've heard a phone call is more effective than emails, petitions or letters. here is a quick reference for those of us not not too cheep to spend a little extra money on some phone calls (after all the money we poured into the dnc, move on, a.c.t., etc. i know we aren't the cheep ones!! let's take it one step further) CALL YOUR SENATOR--CALL THEM ALL AND TELL THEM TO OBJECT TO THE CERTIFICATION OF THE VOTE ON JANUARY 6 (if they can't stand up for us and represent us then why the hell should we vote anymore???)
the following phone numbers are in D.C. AKAKA (HI) 202-224-6361 BIDEN (DE) 202-224-5042 BINGAMAN (NM) 202-224-5521 BOXER (CA) 202-224-3553 BYRD (WV)202-224-3954 CANTWELL (WA)202-224-3441 CLINTON (NY) 202-224-4451 CONRAD (ND) 202-224-2043 DURBIN (IL) 202-224-2152 FEINGOLD (WI) 202-224-5323 FEINSTEIN (CA) 202-224-3841 HARKIN (IA) 202-224-3254 INOUYE (HI) 202-224-3934 JEFFORDS (VT) 202-224-5141 KENNEDY (MA) 202-224-4543 KERRY (MA) 202-224-2742 LAUTENBERG (NJ) 202-224-3224 LEAHY (VT)202-224-4242 REID (NV) 202-224-3542 ROCKEFELLER (WV) 202-224-6472 SCHUMER (NY) 202-224-6542 OBAMA DOESN'T HAVE A PHONE # IN D.C. THAT I COULD FIND
please take some time in the few days ahead that we have left and let them know that you expect them to stand up for the democracy and the voting rights of the people of this country.
otherwise, why the hell should we bother to vote???
