Please FAX Ohio Fraud Summary to Senators/Congress/Media!

[IndyOp]

If all that Congress & media have seen is what has been published in the AP, then they haven't seen anything.

I don't have a FAX, but I have written a 23-page 'congressional briefing'. If you have a FAX, please print the pdf version of "The Case for Fraud in Ohio Election 2004" and FAX it (with a personalized cover sheet) to key Senators. Please come back here and let me - and everyone else - know to whom you have sent it.

I posted the summary in 'pdf' and 'doc' formats here <http://www.bpac.info>.

I do not own any of this material -- it comes from Conyers' letters, Green Party recount observers, Arnebeck's lawsuit, affidavits, the FreePress website, and the work of the great people who post here at DU. I posted it in ".doc" format so that anyone who wants to use any portion of it for any good purpose can cut and paste and run with it.

1. I live in Columbus, Ohio

All you put down is real and true. Not only did I see first hand the evidence of republican vote manipulation but I heard it too. I tried to call the voter protection
# I was given 11/03 and the line had been hacked. I got a women's voice telling me
I was # 8 on the list to talk to somebody. It then played weird music and had a voice
saying "We are all God's children." Within 1 hour of Kerry conceding the block was gone from the line a replaced by a busy signal. I know this sounds "tin foil hat stuff"
but it happened. Why would you block a fraud hot line unless you were going to
commit fraud?

I tried calling the NYT and got a snotty lady who told me she would look into this.
