TOMORROW: What we can expect, what we must do.

WHAT WE CAN EXPECT, WHAT WE MUST DO

Tens of millions have already voted. How many have already been turned away?

On the eve of Election Day, one thing is already very clear: Our system of elections still does not work.

* In this election we have again seen evidence of a well-organized, partisan voter suppression effort involving purging of voter rolls, voter intimidation, voter misinformation, and polling place, voting machine, ballot, and pollworker shortages.

* In this election, as in 2006, 2004, and 2000, already in evidence are vote flipping, the inability to conduct paperless recounts, and machine malfunction.

* And we are again seeing an explanation being prepared for how the losing candidate actually won; in this case, we are supposed to believe that ACORN committed voter registration fraud, that the polling gap between the candidates is closing, and that in the end, white voters simple won't bring themselves to vote for an African-American candidate.

As for what we will witness tomorrow night:

* Expect the theft of a landslide victory in the presidential race. The announced results may still be convincing. But those results will not show the same level of mandate that the people voted for.

* Be prepared for the possibility of a contested presidential election. McCain continues to insist, all evidence to the contrary, that he can win tomorrow.

* Expect the theft of at least one, potentially many, U.S. Senate and House seats.

Under any of these outcomes, democracy is denied. We must be ready. We must be organized.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR TOMORROW

At No More Stolen Elections!, we will be looking for, and reporting back to you, specific voting rights violations:

* Vote suppression in the form of voter intimidation and polling place, ballot, poll worker, and machine shortages.

* Voting machine problems involving vote flipping and denied recounts.

* Exit poll manipulation and the possibility of a concerted effort to force the winning candidate to concede.

WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO

In the next 24 hours, please take the following three steps:

1 - PLAN TO ASSEMBLE ON WEDNESDAY - Go to our website and look for a Voter Assembly in or near your community. If you don't see one, organize one. Go to: http://www.NoMoreStolenElections.org/va

2 - TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT THE POLLS - Tell the media to report the truth on Election Night: http://www.nomorestolenelections.org/urgentaction/polls

3 - REPORT VOTING RIGHTS VIOLATIONS - Report any voting rights violations you are aware of: http://www.nomorestolenelections.org/addreport

Frederick Douglass said, "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both."

Thank you for your refusal to submit.


p.s. -- Almost all of the funding for this campaign has come out of the operating reserves of Liberty Tree, the sponsoring 501(c)3 organization. Since we sent out our first and only fundraising appeal on Thursday, we have raised just over $6,100 dollars from your generous contributions, and are one third of the way to our fundraising goals. We are very thankful for that support. But if you haven't donated yet, or would like to donate again, please do so:

Because elections are supposed to be about the ElectORS, not the ElectED.

Our votes are not just steps in a horserace.
