Contact SOS Blackwell ASAP re: Recount
Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 08:24 AM by Ninga
Please scroll down and log onto the SIGN THE PETITION that requests Blackwell recuse himself from the vote counting process. We need to respond overwhelmingly. Thanks so much.
(this is it)

Dear Common Cause Activist,

I'm writing to inform you that we are working with Members of Congress and other organizations to put together a special report to the nation on December 7, 2004. We want to make sure the public has as much informatiomn as possible about the problems that occurred on Election Day, as witnessedfirst hand by groups with on-the-ground field operations.

By now, some of you may know that there has been a request for a recount(www.commoncause.org) of all votes cast in the presidential race in Ohio.
Common Cause and several other organizations are supporting that request. It is not our expectation that a recount will change the outcome of the election, nor is that outcome the intent of this effort. However, we believe that it is imperative in a democracy that every citizen's vote is counted.

While we are pushing to make sure that all votes are counted in Ohio we need you to help us out in a number of ways:

First, we need to make sure that any recount process in Ohio is totally free of the taint of partisanship. Partisan supervision of elections has undermined voter confidence in our electoral process. Therefore we are calling on Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, who led Presiden Bush's re-election efforts in Ohio, and whose partisanship in this
election drew comparisons to Katherine Harris in Florida
(http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/10/25/loc_elex.html), to remove
himself from the recount process. We are asking you to join us in signing
our nationwide petition requesting that Secretary of State Blackwell
remove himself from any and all recount-related procedures. We must
ensure any recount is pure and not left open to accusations of
partisanship, which tainted the process in Florida in 2000:

So please sign our petition and forward it
(http://www.commoncause.org/tellafriend) to everyone you know so that we
can help erase any doubt about the integrity of the vote recount process
in Ohio.
