International Press Service! FRONT PAGE ELECTION COVERAGE
D.U.
Please join me in writing to the editor and asking them to help us get the word out to the rest of the world. Maybe they can suggest other editors or media outlets that we can approach! We need to be really focused on getting this out to MSM- and international is a great way to do this.

http://ipsnews.net/interna.asp?idnews=26346 - Link to the US election coverage.

Here's the beginning of the cover story...

U.S. ELECTION:
Democracy in Question

Ritt Goldstein

John Zogby, president of the polling firm Zogby International, told IPS he has been calling it "the Armageddon election" for about a year. Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader believes the Republican Party was able to "steal it before election day."

STOCKHOLM, Nov 18 (IPS) - John Zogby, president of the polling firm Zogby International, told IPS he has been calling it "the Armageddon election" for about a year. Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader believes the Republican Party was able to "steal it before election day."

Facts suggest something went very wrong on Nov. 2.

Speculation focuses upon a number of questions -- purposeful miscounts, anomalies surrounding electronic voting (e-voting) machines, particularly the optical scan types; and numerous reports of voting "irregularities" in heavily Democratic areas.

1. I have to confess my ignorance of them
Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 08:15 PM by anamandujano
I've been on a very long break from any news until this past fortnight.

They look like they are keeping up. I haven't emailed them anything but maybe this--

2004 COLLECTED VOTE FRAUD STORIES
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/2004votefraud.html

which I emailed to some foreign press.

----------

From their who we are page:


IPS, civil society's leading news agency, is an independent voice from the South and for development, delving into globalisation for the stories underneath.

The core activity of IPS is a global news agency producing independent news and analysis about events and global processes affecting the economic, social and political development of peoples and nations, especially in the South. IPS is the news agency of Civil Society and the South, Development Issues, The Globalisation Process and of the People Excluded from It.

The flagship World Service of the agency presently covers over 120 countries. The service is produced in English and Spanish, with selected stories translated into French, German, Finnish, Dutch, Swedish, Japanese, Portuguese, Thai, Mandarin, Nepali and Kiswahili. The daily output is currently around 112000 words.

IPS coverage is focused on developing regions of the globe, but within the context of globalisation and its impacts. The stories cover topics like economy, politics, human rights and democratisation, environment and development. Strengthening the gender perspective in all IPS stories, and giving a voice to minorities and under-represented groups are editorial priorities.

The content of IPS World Service is written and edited from the perspective of the developing world. The overwhelming majority of the contributing journalists and editors are from developing countries, including those reporting from Europe, North America and Japan.

6. I'll take care of France for you !
I've set up a web page in France and will be contacting the media shortly.

You can check out the web page: BushSpeak for dummies

http://bushspeak.free.fr/

clique on the link "l'après 2 novembre" for post election news
(at least you can admire the jpegs)
I try to give a good review of election irregularities and possible fraud.

For other countries, you might want to try to contact the Democrats Abroad and have them do the leg work for you.

http://www.democratsabroad.org/countries/

This is the link for Canada. Apparently you plug in the country code and it works for the other countries. They're set up in about 33 countries.

http://ca.democratsabroad.org/

Or do a search for Democrats Abroad and country name.

They have a short page on election fraud.

Campaign Report - November 12, 2004
This is a special report on fraud in this year's election.
