A free, easy- to- use form to FAX the key Senators:

Click on this link to go to an easy form for free faxes to the key Senators who are considering objecting to the electors:

http://www.lightwingarts.com/faxsenator.asp

And, here is another sample letter from the Dean People:

Dear Senator:
>
> It is the affirmative DUTY of each and every Member of Congress to
> personally judge the validity of presidential electors base on any
> information they have at hand. Each Senator and Representative is
> Constitutionally charged with the burden of being the safety valve for an election procedure that has rendered an invalid result. The Voting Rights Act makes it unlawful for minorities to receive disparate
> treatment by any election process - no willful or negligent act need
> be found to have occurred - a disparate circumstance or result is
> sufficient for violation.
>
> There is ample and sufficient concrete evidence to indicate that vote
> fraud, voter suppression, and voter disenfranchisement was rampant
> throughout the 2004 Election. "Are long hours, long poll lines, and insufficient voting machines for poor minority voters and not for affluent white voters a tolerable condition for you personally?" Your absence in standing with Rep. Conyers on January 6 will be considered an affirmative answer to this question.
>
> We The People, through our representatives, have set out our election
> laws to ensure that election results reflect OUR will. An election is not a contest - it is a survey - an effort to measure an objective
> reality. While an election in a democracy may well have many of the
> trappings of a contest or competition, its purpose is quite different. That purpose is to poll the electorate and determine an accurate measure of their choice for a representative or magistrate.
>
> Elections are intended to measure the will of the people, not the will of the candidates; therefore, it does not matter if a candidate has conceded. No unlawful election process can lawfully certify electors.
>
States have no "right" to have electoral votes counted and many slates
of electors have been disallowed in the past -- particularly after the
Civil War. Our law is intended to serve our will, not thwart it.
Objecting to electors, successfully or not, creates a "consequence"
for the failures of the system. An objection will put states on notice
that they had better remedy their system or face rejection in the
future. When the results of an election are in doubt, the moral burden
is on the states to prove the results to be sound.

We can never again allow "technical" or "legal"
arguments and rationalizations to trump reality as we did in 2000. To
proceed with certification and inauguration before due process has
been observed Constitutionally nullifies any claim to office.

I am asking that you stand up with Representative Conyers, that you stand up for our country, our democracy, and our rights and freedoms on January 6, 2005. I have a very long memory and your decision to stand or not with Representative Conyers will be clearly remembered next election day.
> Sincerely,
>
> Your name, address, zip, and phone number
>

1. Let's do this and...
forward to friends, mailing lists, etc. so that,to paraphrase Sonny Corleone, "John Conyers will not be standing there with only his dick in his hand."

Thanks for the link

4. I just wrote a few brief sentences
Tried to be succinct and to the point; hopefully they're being inundated now.

7. Used my own words based on each senator


It was still easier than faxing myself.

This is a great format.
