WHAT:
• Exit polls did not match the reported vote in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and 7 of 8 other key battleground states
• Voting machines with secret software owned by private, partisan companies subject to manipulation and which deprived citizens of their right to fair and transparent elections
• Uncounted and provisional ballots negatively and disproportionately affected African American voters
• Inexplicable vote disparities
• Voting Rights Act Violations
• Recount did not recount all the votes
• Challenge at January 6 Joint Session of Congress

WHY:
TO PROVIDE FULL BACKGROUND ON KEY ASSERTIONS PRIOR TO THE HISTORIC CONGRESSIONAL CHALLENGE TO THE 2004 VOTE

PARTIAL LIST OF EVIDENCE:
There is clear and compelling evidence that the election was stolen. By examining a very wide range of sworn testimonies from voters, polling officials and others close to the administration of the Nov. 2 election; by statistical analysis of the certified vote by mathematicians, election experts and independent research teams who have conducted detailed studies of the results in Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere; from experts who studied the voting machines, tabulators and other electronic equipment on which a fair vote count has depended; and from a team of attorneys and others who have challenged the Ohio results; the freepress.org investigative team has compiled a portrait of an election whose true outcome must be investigated further by the Congress, the media and all Americans -- because it was almost certainly not an honest victory for George W. Bush.

Crucial flaws in the national vote count, most importantly in the national popular vote, and in Ohio and Florida indicate John Kerry was the actual winner on November 2, as reported in national exit polls. At the very least, the widespread tampering with how the election was conducted, and how Ohio's votes were counted and re-counted, has compromised this nation's historic commitment to free and fair elections.

George W. Bush's ‘victory' appears to have resulted from multiple frauds – a GOP ‘do-whatever it takes' strategy to win the state that swung the election.

The questionable votes far exceed Bush's margin of victory in Ohio.

The Bush-Cheney ‘do what ever it takes" strategy in Ohio covered a very wide range of tactics, from disenfranchisement of minority voters to discarding of ballots to tampered tabulators and much more. Taken as a whole, this compendium of error, fraud, cover-up and contempt indicates that this was not a legitimate election, and is not worthy of being certified by the Congress of the United States.

Thirty disenfranchised voters on the Freedom Winter bus ride from Columbus, Ohio to Washington, D.C. will be present to share their voting horror stories with the media.

[understandinglife]

4. Done. Here's my email ...

....which included below my signature the details of the press conference:

It is critical to our ability to save our American franchise of Democracy that you broadcast live and then provide reruns through the night and into 6 Jan 2005 to enable as many Americans as possible to begin to understand the scale of systematic attack being waged against our Democracy and the Constitutional rights that are its foundation.

Thank you,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Fool me once, shame on...

...

...you; Fool me...you can't get fooled again"

- George Bush

Prepare to laugh so hard a little pee might come out

[livvy]

20. Done

Here is my email. I included the info and a link at the end of the note.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to urge you to cover the event detailed at the bottom of this email (link provided below). I would encourage you to cover this event live, and then provide reruns through the evening. I believe it is important for the American people to be informed about some of the problems that existed during this past election. There are too many people that believe the election ran smoothly, because that has been the only point of view that has been presented to them by the media. Americans need to be able to consider both sides of the issue. To do that they must be exposed to both points of view.
Please cover this important event. Americans have the right to know.
Thank you,

[bj2110]

[Pacifist Patriot]

29. Emailed...

Please cover the press conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC at 2:00.p.m. on Wednesday, January 5. Given the media's lack of interest in election challenges, this will be the only way we will be able to hear what they have to say.

[rodeodance]

30. Is this ET time? Cnn will cover Bush at 2:05 ET (liability speech), they

just announced!!
But the announcement above does not say if the election stuff is at ET time or what?

[sunnystarr]

31. Just called C-Span and talked to a programming person. She

said they're not covering it. She got a bit testy with me and told me they can't cover everything. I said it would be nice if they covered SOMETHING on this since they often fill in with old programs. She told me to ask other networks. She also told me to contact the National Press Club and gave me the number 866-272-6272 and ask them if there will be a copy of the program available.
It was obvious that C-Span was NOT interested in covering this subject or for that matter if we tune in to them.

*edited to correct my hasty typos

[Pacifist Patriot]

33. Drat!

Any legitimate reporters going to attend, i.e. liberal alternative media?

[rodeodance]

34. drats-c-span NOT to cover!! I am ticked off. Lets all call them anyway!

thanks for the information!

[jasmineblue]

37. Same thing just happened with me.

When I asked for The National Press Club web address, she told me to do a search! Unbelievable!

[aforbes10]

32. Will this be on any online radio stations?

I want to listen at work.

[greenmutha]

35. Keep asking! If enough people ask, they may cave in and cover it.

I just sent an email, and will call also.

NGU!

[adolfo]

36. Voicemail and Operator

Called them, the operator didn't seem to care so I left a message in their comment voicemail.

[helderheid]

38. Kevin from PDA

Could PDA send out an alert to get people to contact C-Span?

I just did - kick!

[jasmineblue]

39. National Press Club to have streaming on RadioLeft

I just spoke with Kat L'Estrange from National Press Club. She said C-SPAN is going to be there, but she wasn't sure they were going to cover it live. She said RadioLeft will be streaming live. Link: http://blog.radioleft.com/

Shouldn't it be going on right now?

[OKthatsIT]

It says on the RadioLeft webpage that they are streaming it live, and yet... they aren't.

44. I'm looking forward to hearing this "Clear and Compelling Evidence"

So far the best thing I've heard that can't be explained away by two math professors bickering is Sherole Eaton's cheat sheet.

Perhaps they have been saving something new?

45. Is My Clock Wrong?

Isn't it already 3:30 on the East Coast?
