of the Massachusetts electors when they cast their votes for Kerry on December 23, 2004:

The following is a motion made by Tom Barbera and the other Massachusetts electors. The electors passed the motion unanimously. Mr. Barbera received a standing ovation after he read it out loud.

I move that we, the duly sworn electors of Massachusetts, call on Congress and especially the honorable members of our MA congressional delegation as follows:

We believe that as electors we have a unique opportunity and obligation to insure that justice does not again become so delayed as to be denied. We call on the Congress of the United States and most especially our own honorable representatives, the members of the Massachusetts Congressional delegation to:

1. Act to commit Congress to investigate all voting complaints that might have any validity that they receive.

2. Act to commit Congress to remedy any voting rights violations or electoral fraud verified by its own agents or through the courts.

3. File in Congress and commit their resources to passage of systematic remedies.
Tom Barbera made his own statement as he cast his vote for President and Vice President:

We believe in one nation under God and we recognize as in the words of the great leader Martin Luther King Jr. that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." And we recognize our obligation as citizens of one nation to stand up for the equal rights for all members of our national community. We do believe that all people are created equal, and we hold precious the sacred right to vote, which our forefathers enshrined in the very Constitution that we have just sworn as electors to uphold and as citizens of Massachusetts, where we count every vote.

2. Good work, JoMama49

I could use more statements from Pols like this and the Oregon letter ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=203&topic_id=219595 ) to pass on to some European media.

3. The vermonters sent a letter too...

Electors call for national voting reforms

Breaking with tradition, electors in at least five states have called for a congressional investigation of voting violations during the Nov. 2 election for president. Electors in Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, California, and North Carolina registered their concerns as they cast their votes last week. <...>

5. Received, thanks.

Any more?

7. Do you have the 23 page report we've been sending to Senators on Ohio?

IndyOp here at DU put it all together: http://www.bpac.info

It's not a statement from a pol, but is being used to educate them.

Do you know Bo Elkjaer and Coilín ÓhAiseadha? They have posted here a few times reports from Denmark, and Coilín passed along some responses and tips he picked up from calling the BBC, etc.

Is it still pretty quiet there concerning the fraud?

If I come across anything else in the way of pols speaking up, I'll send it to you. I know I have seen more, but am too sleepy now to remember it.

10. Yes, relayed, thanks n/t

[EuroObserver]

12. Clarification

I mean yes to the IndyOp dossier; NO to being in contact with Bo Elkjaer or Coilín ÓhAiseadha. Afraid I've no direct, only indirect inside access to the media, with one exception I'm still waiting on.

Still very quiet in the mainstream as far as I can see or hear (UK, Spain).

I'm thinking, rustily, of looking into the French-speaking world now.

My take: I certainly expect and hope that articles are being prepared ready to hit the press, depending on what happens on Jan 6th.

4. I'm glad to see this posted again.

The electors from Massachusetts, Oregon, Vermont, Maine, California, and North Carolina provide solid support on the 6th to those Democratic senators who will heroically speak out for the people. The fact that the electors have qualified their electoral votes by including their skepticism of the election as an addendum to their recorded votes is unprecedented. And it will also be the first time in U.S. history that Congress will have questioned a presidential election.

The time for election reform is NOW. We shouldn't accept anything less.

6. Excellent statement...

..and really good to see, especially for those of us getting that "crying in the wilderness" feeling. We are NOT alone!

8. And thanks, JoMama, once again you have brought something good to light.
