Maybe if we all personally contacted our Senators...
Another crazy idea:

What if we all attempted to make actual appointments with our Senators?

What kind of shit would that lift off the bottom of the pot?

Honestly nice staffer person, I understand the Senator is busy, but I only need 5 mins. The talking point? If there are unresolved suits by Jan. 6th, I would like to remind the Senator of your Sworn Duty to object to accepting any Electoral votes still under contest, the opposite of what you did in 2000.

1. Have you tried?
That is a good idea. But you will need to have your facts organized if you are going to do that.

4. absolutely. there has been a call to action on that, in fact.
from: No Stolen Elections! http://www.Nov3.US

This coming Monday, December 13th, the Electoral College is slated to cast its votes for President in state capitols across the country. Meanwhile, the recounts in Ohio and New Mexico will have only just begun. No Stolen Elections!, together with dozens of other organizations, has called for nationwide protests on December 13th to defend the recounts, to make visible the many voting rights violations and election irregularities which call into question the integrity of the 2004 election, and to demand real reforms to protect, extend, and deepen democracy. See: http://www.Nov3.US

No Stolen Elections! also endorses the following action plan, which is a product of the Coalition Against Election Fraud working in cooperation with Truth in Elections:

...

4 Try to arrange a meeting with local Representatives or Senators.
They're back home now from D.C. so this is a good time to try to do so. If possible, include people in your delegation who work on issues of concern to the elected representative or who have a direct or indirect connection to them..

***


i recommend getting on their mailing list, too.


keep on, all!


peace!
