Did Barbara Boxer join the fight?
Someone sent me an email that indicated Barbara Boxer joined the voter fraud investigation/fight. Is this true? I can't find any articles to verify this.

It would be good news to have at least one senator on board.

1. Call her office.
Edited on Sun Dec-05-04 03:18 AM by davidwparker
http://democrats.com has a current request for people to call their senators and representatives. It has the toll-free number with which you can reach them. Go there and get it. Encourage her if not; congradulate her if so.

And, go to http://blackboxvoting.org to contribute. Bev Harris is doing great work there at getting to the FRAUD that the DNC isn't interested in getting out. This is all grassroots by people who care.

Vote Count Protests Blast Media Silence: By J. DOUGLAS ALLEN-TAYLOR

<snip>---
A small but vocal group of demonstrators rallied for an hour in front of the KGO-TV offices in San Francisco on Monday morning, protesting what they called “media silence on 2004 election irregularities.” Demonstrators later marched to the San Francisco offices of United States Senator Barbara Boxer where organizers met with Boxer’s staff.

Among the rally speakers was Berkeley City Councilmember-elect Max Anderson, who blasted President George W. Bush as a “thief,” saying “we need to go to Washington and make a citizens’ arrest to put that two-time loser out of office.”

Anderson likened the movement to investigate election irregularities to Berkeley’s Free Speech Movement of the ‘60s. “Just like then, we’re going to have to throw ourselves into the machine and stop its gears,” he said.
