*** SACRAMENTO *** NOON *** SUNDAY: democracy's last stand

[yurbud]

This is our last chance the state legislatur has to turn in the electoral votes Monday to say that the whole process is corrupted and fucked up.

People will be protesting at every state capital in the country this Sunday.

You need to make a sign, get in your car next Sunday, and go to your state capital.

Why hold the protest on December 12th? Won't that be too late?

December 12th is the day before all state electors meet to cast their ballots for President and Vice President. By law (see Electoral College), the Electoral College must meet 41 days after the election . The protest is intended to send a message to our fellow citizen electors. That message is: refuse to vote until the state provides a verified and supervised hand recount of the vote.

For the last couple of years, the media has been good about ignoring protests in Washington, but if people turn out in massive numbers in every state capital, we cannot be ignored.

This getting national attention on Air America Radio and should be on Pacifica as well as circulating around the net.

Start planning now. Take a full car. Be there.

For Californians:

Driving Directions to the State Capitol
The capitol is located on 10th Street
between N and L Streets in downtown Sacramento

North on Interstate 5:
Exit Q Street
up to 10th Street.
Turn left.

3. Hand the electors videotapes of today's hearings in Congress

and any other materials you can get on voting fraud! There are links in other sections here to lots of articles. Make up some kits to give them. Get a bullhorn. Announced the truth to the world! Our futures are at stake!

7. I hope so, too...

I tried to spread the word on campus at SCC, but it's finals week next week, so it wasn't easy to get people's attention. Nonetheless, I know there'll be some DUers there!
