19. Text of letter to Repukes

I'm not sure whether this is the appropriate place to post this, but here is the text of the letter I just sent to the Repukes.

I write to address what I consider one of the single most pertinent issues facing our nation today: the widespread evidence of voting irregularities, voter suppression and the failure of the democratic process in our most recent presidential election.

This is a non-partisan issue: it relates to the inadequacy of our system that has become entirely apparent in the course of the investigations ensuing from the most recent election. There is no longer any doubt that the election results do not represent the will of the people because too many of the people were either prevented from voting or their votes were not counted.

I cannot support the results of an election that does not stand up to scrutiny according to the standards of fairness that are internationally recognized as the very backbone of democracy.

As a taxpaying, law-abiding citizen, please do not forget that I am your employer. I pay your salary. From this perspective, I demand that you set your partisan loyalties aside and immediately join the efforts of your colleagues to investigate every incidence of voting irregularity, of voter suppression, disenfranchisement, etc. I demand that you join the efforts to insure that the vote of every American citizen who cast (or sought to cast) a ballot in the 2004 presidential election be counted. Until that process has been completed, no election results should be certified and no candidate shall be declared the "winner" by the electoral college.

You have been placed in public office to represent all the people, not just some of the people.

Sincerest regards,

[catcatcat]

20. great letter!! ...

...and an appropriate post here, i think -- examples provide motivation and ideas for people thinking about sending their own letters, and can serve as a template for those who are stuck.

[neversaynever]

22. thanks, and if you think it needs to be posted elsewhere, pls....

also note: I also sent a copy to the Dems letting them know that I sent it to the Repukes. hehe.

Might be a good idea to do that.

[catcatcat]

24. if you haven't already, you may also want to post a copy to...

...the thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=131049&mesg_id=131049

i think letting the Dems know you're doing this is a good
idea -- Conyers seemed to be encouraging putting pressure
on the repukes, so i'm sure he'll be happy to know his
message came across. i addressed both parties in a single
letter and sent it out to everyone -- i'm hoping they'll just
realize they all received it. anyway, if you re-post this,
you may want to include your suggestion with it -- i think
it's a good idea. :)

thanks for your work!

[neversaynever]

34. Another letter....

I'm currently sending this letter to as many senators, regardless of party affiliation, as will take it:

Subject heading: Please Protest Certification of Election Results

http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm


DON"T FORGET TO INCLUDE ADDRESS< PHONE EMAIL ETC

Dear Senator:

Even though I reside outside your jurisdiction and as such may not be considered your constituent, I write you today regarding a matter that is of great concern to all Americans; indeed, to the very notion of democracy and the democratic process.

As you may or may not be aware, substantial controversy has arisen in the wake of our most recent presidential election. Charges of voting fraud, voter suppression and the disenfranchisement of minority voters have circulated not only on the internet and in the international press, but also within the ranks of the government and the citizenry. At present, there is enough evidence of irregularities, anamolies and incidents to strongly suggest that the results of the election currently scheduled for certification do not accurately reflect the will of the people because tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of voters were either prevented from casting ballots or their votes remain uncounted.

On Dec. 6, the House Judiciary Committee held a forum in Washington, DC, in which many people spoke passionately about the issues at hand and the implications involved in certifying the dubitable results of the November 2 election. In his opening statement, Congressman John Conyers stated: "This is not about John Kerry, this is about the voters. There were voters who stood in ten-hour lines to exercise their most basic and fundamental civic right. There were voters who worked for days to the polls for the elderly and the poor and to provide assistance to language minorities. As hard as voters worked for the vote, we need to work just as hard to make every single vote count."

As Mr. Jesse Jackson, Sr. reminds us in his puissant commentary on the state of affairs, especially as the issues at hand pertain to traditionally "underrepresented" groups, "the race is not over until it is certified that every vote is counted and until a full investigation shows that every vote was honored. And for the future credibility of the process, we must end the practice and precedent of voter suppression and disenfranchisement schemes."

Though the mainstream media has suppressed the controversy as effectively as partisan-efforts suppressed major constituencies' votes in this election, there are many thousands, perhaps millions, of concerned American citizens currently actively involved in the campaign to withhold certification of the election results until all the ongoing recounts and investigations have been completed.

This is not a partisan issue: it relates to the integrity of our democratic process. Whatever your partisan loyalties, whatever your political ambitions, I urge you to take a stand NOW in the name of democracy--a principle we currently seek to bring to the Middle East in a multi-billion-dollar campaign that has already cost us well over a thousand American lives and over 100,000 Iraqi civilian casualties. It is time for all Americans, our Senators and Representatives included, to demonstrate to ourselves and to the rest of the world that we do indeed represent the ideals of democracy: if we cannot conduct fair elections in our own country, we certainly cannot be taken seriously as representatives of democracy in the rest of the world.

Regardless of whether a proverbial "smoking gun" will ever be found to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that fraudulent tampering with machines led to the incumbent party's putative victory, there is every reason to believe that this election was "rigged" by suppressing the voices and votes of substantial portions of the population.

I urge you to review documentation of the Dec. 6 forums now available at the House Judiciary Committee website:

http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/voteforum.html

I furthermore encourage you to review additional evidence and documentation that has been compiled and collected by concerned citizens in their concerted, collaborative efforts to determine what, exactly, did happen in our most recent presidential election. The following website provides a comprehensive overview of documentation:

http://shadowbox.i8.com/

I urge you to vote your conscience and protest the certification of the final vote tally in congress. Anything else represents an unconscionable act of negligence on your part. The citizens have collected and presented enough evidence to merit and indeed to mandate that you do everything in your power to prevent the certification of these results.

I remain respectfully yours,

[k8conant]

27. Bad Addies? I got 8 undeliverables

returned from that list. Is it just me? Anyone else having the same problem?

Also, some of them are requesting that you include full name address, etc. (which I'd considered doing, then didn't)

Sigh.....

28. i had good luck with it

sorry you are having trouble. I just sent mine out earlier today and have not received any messages except from sensebrenner.

did you copy and paste the whole thing or try to separate it?:shrug:

29. i haven't received any error messages or bounces, but...

...i did get 4 auto-replies. a couple of them
mention that they want a full name and address --
i included both of these in my e-mails, so i don't
think that's the problem. my guess would be that the
form mailer sends a formatted message to the same
addresses as we're sending to, and then a mail program
opens the messages and looks at the address fields.
since most of these guys don't want e-mail from people
outside of their constituency and state that they
will not reply to it, the program probably separates
out the 'important' e-mails and sends the autoreplies
saying you shouldn't expect a response to the others.
this doesn't necessarilly mean that our e-mail was not
received, but probably just that it won't have high
priority...if it is even read.

32. i got one auto-reply, but the rest of the 8 were

marked undeliverable. Oh well. Many still went through....

[keepthemhonest]

33. good job

Anyone have any address pages they would like to add?:think:

[keepthemhonest]

35. hey catcatcat

[catcatcat]
