BRATTLEBORO REFORMER: Will a senator stand up?
teeny tiny little Vermont newspaper - Brattleboro Reformer - huh! I'm so proud...

http://www.reformer.com/Stories/0,1413,102~8854~2635314,00.html

(snip)
Bordering on contempt for the process, the Bush administration asked a judge to throw out a legal challenge to the election by 37 Ohio voters. The Bush re-election campaign even took the Rev. Jesse Jackson to task for pressing the issue.

(snip)
All the high-falutin back-and-forth can be boiled down to a voter like Mark Lomax.

The Associated Press recently quoted the 25-year-old in a news report as saying, "In 2000, if Al Gore had just held on and fought to the bitter end, he would have been president. I kind of have the same feeling now -- whether or not you like John Kerry, that's not the issue. It's just that your vote counts."

The Columbus resident, who is black, stood in line for 3 1/2 hours on Election Day, the AP reported. He just wanted his vote to count.

Will a senator see to it that it does?

1. It may be a "teeny tiny" paper, but, they are publishing a big....
message.

Power to the 1st Amendment and the freedom to think independently.

Thanks for the post "VTGold"
