True Majority, sends "No More Ohios" e-mail to Senators

FYI. I received this today from True Majority I don't know how many members they have:

America Needs Honest Elections
Congress This Week Can Make It Clear
Dear xxxx,

The whole world now knows what went on in Ohio and other states on Election Day, and we simply can't let it happen anymore.

We know that many Americans in inner cities were prevented from voting by eight-hour lines. We know that local officials changed the rules on which votes they counted. We know that technicians from computerized voting companies were allowed to tamper with balloting machines unsupervised.

Elections with those sorts of problems are not honest.

The winners of these tainted elections assert that their outcomes didn’t depend on the fraud.  But in sports, referees don’t wait until the outcome of the game is in jeopardy before calling penalties and enforcing the rules.  Nowhere in the Constitution does it describe some acceptable level of denying Americans their votes.  When Congress meets this Thursday, January 6, we’ll have a good opportunity to make it clear that Americans want every vote counted, period.
 
That same Constitution also directs Congress to ratify the result of the presidential election in order to make it official.  This Thursday, Representative John Conyers (D-Michigan) plans to challenge the voting tally from his state, and if even one senator joins him, Congress will be compelled to debate the widespread problems that have been exposed.  This Congress isn’t going to overturn the election, but it would be forced into a debate that would serve as a national teach-in on voting rights, computer voting that can’t be audited and the continued suppression of minority votes.  In short — Honest Elections or not?

Toward true democracy,

Honest Elections Coordinator


Here’s the message we’ll deliver to your senators:

Dear :

I am disturbed by the widespread reports of irregularities in this past election—not enough voting machines in inner-city precincts, causing hours-long lines; computerized ballot machines that can’t be audited; corporate technicians monkeying around with the public’s machines; local officials making up rules on the fly about which votes to actually count.

The key to elections is that all, especially the losers, agree that the elections were fair and honest.  America doesn’t have that now, and it’s got to change.

Rep. John Conyers will use the occasion of the ratification of the election results to challenge this system; I ask that you do the same.  I understand that the results won’t be overturned, but the debate resulting from this challenge would expose these irregularities and get America on the path to truly Honest Elections.

Please tell me that you will join Mr. Conyers in sparking this important debate.

Sincerely,

2. I think they have quite a lot, but...

I think they should have been involved earlier. I received the same email. I think it might be too late. Maybe. Maybe not. I hope a lot of their members respond in the next day or two. But for their members who haven't been following the election fraud issues, they might just ignore it or not have enough time to research it in order to respond comfortably. But, at least they finally got on board!

4. I think this is wonderful news. It means that many more people are

becoming aware of the issue. Many more will be watching the Senators to see what they do. True Majority may not be McDonald's mainstream, but they are kind of liberal mainstream, I think.

5. I got email- wonder how big their mailing list is. Thank you True MaJ!

Regardless of their late arrival or how many people they blasted with this, it's a good thing since it means more people are becoming enlightened and hopefully, inspired to take action. That's really what we need most of all right at this moment. Thank you True Majority- a bit late but that's ok. We are more then happy to have you on board!
