42. FOLKS - This is an obsolete thread, PLEASE STOP KICKING IT
The links are obsolete, and it's just causing confusion. I'm sorry I haven't had the time to figure out the new system, accumulate the appropriate links in order to post a new one. Anyone who can do that is welcome to (or see the appropriate task/signup whatever threads).

Help America Recount IS still a good link, tho: www.helpamericarecount.org

2. Totally Agree
"Third: Stay informed and help inform others"

I think that is overall the most important thing for all of us to do. We need to keep our facts fresh and information seared in our minds, then we need to pass it on to as many people as possible.

Every day I seek out as many people as I can to inform and am surprised daily as to how EVERY single one of them I find, their response is 'really? I didn't hear anything about that". That statement always reminds me of how much more work we have to do to get the word out, since lord knows the media ain't much of a help.

I also print out the good articles from DU and post them in my cubicle in plain view (with highlighting) for all passerby's to see.

3. stay focused
without getting all technical about GEMs and source codes. . . I think what resonates most in the short attention span theater is the fact that without the possibility of an verifiable audit, what the trend of increasing reliance on partisan owned and operated electronic voting machines constitutes nothing short of. . .

TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION !

It's Tea Party time folks.

If you ever actually read the Declaration of Independance you'll be completely amazed at how the complaints of the Colonists against King George so resemble the complete misgovernance of *.

So there.

Great thread Eloriel !

26. I HEAR YOU
Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 05:29 AM by Carolab
I'm all for the revolution. It's our RIGHT and we might as well use it before they take THAT away from us too.

Does the 2nd amendment mean we can stop paying taxes as a form of revolution? Or does it just mean we can shoot the bastards (not that I'm advocating violent overthrow, mind you...)

5. TELL EVERYONE- Talk to Strangers! Open the Conversation!
Pass out flyers, start email lists-- it has to come from us! You will be amazed at how relieved people are to learn that they are not crazy and that they can do something to help. Tell everyone to tell everyone... The more who know, the more difficult it will be to stop this from snowballing. Media will eventually have to pay attention.
We are the Moral Majority- remember that everyone!

31. Eloriel: I have to have something that is VERY SIMPLE to follow.
One link at a time. And that link has to break things down into one step at a time...ie..what do each of the terms mean.

I know, this is time consuming for somebody(and maybe it could even be me at some point...). But maybe it would generate more involvement if things were spelled out more...

At this point I am very very tired.

OK #1 I'll contribute to helpamerica recount. That's a start.

But after that?

Thanks for all you do.

34. We need Celebrities to know about this NOW!!
We need to alert them ASAP! they can get media coverage even when they don't want it. I wrote a letter which I am sending to a few celebrities that I know were for Kerry. I'll post it below.
Does anyone know of any others? and their email addresses also??
Please post this in it's own post if you can.
This needs to go out ASAP- Celebrities get a TON of email, so it might be a while before anyone acts.
Here is the letter: (feedback on letter please??-it's my first one that I've composed) :)
Dear EMINEM,
I am writing this hoping that you can help.
There are hundreds if not thousands of reports of election fraud that happened, that people are talking about online right now. Everything from; exit polls being very off -when they are usually pretty accurate, counties in Florida where 70% were democrats but Bush got a large majority of the vote, to voting machines that counted double or stopped counting after a certain number or showed a vote for Bush when a person pressed for Kerry. These are just a few examples of the many many examples of fraud and of the many that we caught (how many don't we know about? with E-voting its hard to say). Also the companies that manufacture these machines are loyal to Bush –in fact one of them –Diebold raised $600,000 for Bush. We need you to help expose this. We have tried repeatedly to tell the media but there is a media blackout, (controlled by large corporations loyal to Bush) They won't say anything about it except to call us conspiracy theorists or to say they are only small local glitches. They won't even cover that 5 congress people have requested an investigation to the Government Accountability Office or that Cobb (green party) and Badnerick, (libertarian) are requesting a recount in OHIO and have raised the money for this.
Please come visit these websites and see for yourself. I know that you cared a lot about this election and you did all you could to turn out the vote -but the fight is NOT OVER! Kerry conceded but it is not legally binding- he can, and I believe he will, retract it. There are thousands of people working on this, -crunching numbers doing research even Professors from different Universities have written statistical analysis papers on it. But we need a voice, - we need someone like you to help bring it out -especially to young voters -I believe they DID turn out in larger numbers than ever -but I don't want them to be disappointed and not vote again next time.

that need done - pick the type, time, complexity of your effort.
