1. Thank God for Denver, which is

easily one of the biggest Democratic strongholds in this country.

[New Earth]

2. we need more!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. What I don't understand is

why stuff like this isn't happening all over the damned place.

[Carolab]

5. SERIOUSLY!!!

WE NEED MORE!!!

WHERE IS THE MILLION VOTER MARCH????????????

We had a similar protest on the capitol steps in St. Paul--about 100 turned out.

WHAT IS HOLDING US BACK?

GET SIGNS AND GET OUT THERE!

6. Nice to see that!

[O.M.B.inOhio]

7. March in Columbus, OH?

I'm pumped & wanna do the same dang thing! Issues are slightly different in Ohio, and I don't know whether it's a bad idea to agitate in this way in Columbus, given the recount & other actons happening here, but writiing letters is not enough (and haven't heard from Greens about volunteering). Would love to get DU opinions & idea of how many of us could bring some groups to Columbus. I bet my town could mobilize 100 to a rally this week.

24. Protest during the recounts? n/t

[tbuddha]

8. This was an easy protest that got results

It only took 200 people to get in the news. Where is everyone in NY? I say outside the Rockefeller Center on the Friday after Thanksgiving...or ON Thanksgiving if you can pull it off.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

12. What about the MACY's parade?

If that is still happening.

[99Pancakes]

16. Signs held up

as the floats, balloons and bands go by. I like that image.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

18. Yes! And plenty of TV coverage! -nt

[99Pancakes]

20. So how long do you think

it will take for the NYPD to show up and start dragging people away?

You could have "lines" of folks waiting in the "wings". As one handful gets carted off, another group takes over. (repeat cycle throughout parade)

[eowyn_of_rohan]

21. If it is just a peaceful display of signs...

*hopefully* the NYPD will not get to that poiint. But if they DID, there might REALLY be some news!

Also, the MSM will likely make every effort NOT to give coverage to the protestors, which calls for clever and persistent positioning, and enough people to carry it off. WISH I could be there....sigh.

[missouri dem]

45. Great idea.

Millions watch the parade on tv. Most people only believe what they see on tv.

[anamandujano]

9. just finished sending about 40 emails

to online newspapers and some foreign, lots to Florida and even the Washington Times--just want them to know it's not over.

Sent the link with pics and the news release.

[99Pancakes]

17. Excellent!

I am going to send this to our local Dem Headquarters.

[Action Jackson]

10. LETS START THE BIG ONE NOW

We need to keep it up. Its time to hit the streets. I'm in NYC, i've seen the NYC threads. But we need to do this nationwide. Thank you Denver for getting the ball rolling.

[keepthemhonest]

13. good job guys

your are getting us motivated

[Solitaire]

30. if you could?

I'm sometimes out of the loop. If there is a protest in NYC (I'm here), I'd like to join in.

Can you PM me if there is one?

:)

[eowyn_of_rohan]

11. "Paper Ballots in 2004"?

Are these FRESH pictures or is this lady in a time warp?

REgardless, I hope this will begin to happen all over the country. And we need more than 150 people too. Looks like a good sized crowd in tight shots but VERY puny in real life.

[Straight Shooter]

14. "Veterans didn't die for rigged elections."

Are you listening, Mr. Mandate?

[MominTN]

15. Get media coverage!

I don't understand why the dems aren't protesting in the public either. An easy way to get some coverage would be to take signs to the Macy Parade, find where the cameras are, get on the opposite side of the street, then just after it begins, SURPRISE...HOLD UP YOUR SIGN!!! What could they do?

[99Pancakes]

19. I'll be watching in California

YEEE HAWWWW!!!

[maryallen]

22. Wonderful, Colorado ... Thank you!

My favorite signs:

I DO NOT CONCEDE.

Veterans Didn't Die for Rigged Elections.

[jdog]

23. Meeting in Denver tonight

about this at the Mercury Cafe, 7p.m. Professor Gilbert will be there. Any other DUers?

[Slit Skirt]

25. can't make it on Mondays....

but would like to participate

[dmac]

26. This is AWESOME!

I wonder how all of these people got together because our local Dem party isn't saying much about the election fraud. Anyone have any ideas how to organize something like this in your area without knowing how to reach others who believe the election was stolen?

[Cadence]

27. Oh I missed it! Right here in Colorado too!!!

Yea! I have renewed faith in my fellow Coloradoans.

[johne]

29. I was there

Hey everyone,

I've been lurking for a few weeks now.  Just registered.  this
event was organized by the group that tried and failed to get
a paper trail on our  touch screen machines.  I'm going to
that meeting tonight.  

Just wanted to say that if it weren't something like 25
degrees that afternoon, there would have been a lot more
people.

johne
Denver, CO

[Cadence]

31. You should PM me next time there is going to be a rally

and I'll come!

[newyawker99]

36. Hi johne!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Turn CO Blue]

40. Welcome to DU! I wish I had been there!

I could never quite believe that Colorado went red, knowing all the libs/Dems that I do...

[Cadence]

43. What part are you in?

Me Fort Collins.

[Turn CO Blue]

48. I live up in Broomfield, but work in southeast Denver

near Aurora/Montbello.

I'd better put some messages in the Colorado forum to introduce myself -- and if anyone in Colorado knows of any protests (war or election) or other meetings coming up - please respond to let me know. I'll bring the rice crispy treats and the beer. And some signage...oh my God, I would hardly know where to start to make some signage. Too many snide things I want to say.

[Turn CO Blue]

38. I missed it too! And I've been dying to be involved!

(oh, and getting off work is cool too)

How can I find out more about these things ahead of time?
Ideas?

[Norwood]

28. I cant believe I missed it!!!

I'm in pueblo and I would have gladly drove two hours to join them!

[proudtobeadem]

32. Thank You Denver!! You've renewed our hope !

I'm so glad I found this article.
Happy Happy Happy!! :)

[Generator]

33. Lovely, thanks!

We should scour the internet in search of other Demonstration coverage.

[Kralizec]

35. Why O Why is UKRAINE beating our asses in PROTESTS??!!

They have their priorities straight to stand up for what they voted. The situation is almost identical to what happened here. AND ALL WE CAN MUSTER UP IS 150 PROTESTERS. Realize that the cozy life you live right now isn't going to last, even if Kerry somehow won. Wake up people. We need to take top the street pretty soon. I can feel it.

47. FLASH BULLETIN! Blogger calls march on Fox NOW!

Combined protest against Fox and the rigged election —

The objective is specifically to challenge the wall of silence on the rigged election by news outlets like Fox and make a breakthrough —

Please spread this around, check it out and kick it —

A blogger has posted an extremely detailed, specific call to protest the rigged election AND the suppression of the truth ABOUT the rigged election by Fox News — a combined event mass march protest to be held in New York City — AT — Fox headquarters on 6th Avenue —

Main protest chant —

“Rupert Murdoch, tell the truth! Fascists rigged the voting booth!”

Nobody thinks of marching against a news organization in the streets. This is going to be a shot heard round the world.

Very comprehensive protest plan with very helpful travel details, the works —

See blog on this,

“A Call To March On Fox —

For refusing to tell the truth about the rigged election!” —

http://acalltomarchonfox.blogspot.com/

Discussion thread in General Discussion Forum — please help keep this kicked —

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=2688242

“A Call To March Against The Rigged Election”

Please spread these links around to help us organize this.

Please join that discussion there and help keep it kicked. Marching on Fox starts at post 117. But read the whole discussion. And read the blog. Discussion also discusses an earlier blog on marching against the rigged election and media. Second blog being discussed is on a specific, detailed call to march on Fox specifically as a key initial part of this protest against the rigged election. Fox is a key ENABLER of the rigged election. They’d never get away with election rigging on such a vast scale if it weren’t for news suppressers/distorters like Fox. Read both blogs.

Tremendously detailed comprehensive blog —

It gives the exact location in New York City of all of Rupert Murdoch’s empire, New York Post, Fox News, News Corporation (Murdoch’s big parent company — it owns almost everything else he’s got) — all of that — it’s all in a single building on 6th Avenue between 47th Street and 48th Street in mid-Manhattan. Murdoch’s own office is in the building too. We can be chanting against him right outside his window. All their offices are not on very high floors either — as low as the second floor — they’ll see and hear us and have to pass us on the way in. All those blow-hard Fox talking heads lying about the election — we’ll be in direct shouting matches with them as they come and go. And Fox itself is on the SECOND Floor. How good is their studio soundproofing in there????? Everybody at Fox is going to be bitching that they can’t get any work done. There’s no way they can hush this up.

Since it’s a vicious circle — news organizations like Fox suppress our protests, making them seem futile, therefore the proposal is to combine objectives and protest Fox AND the rigged election TOGETHER right outside Murdoch’s building and tie the two evils together — “Murdoch suppresses the truth about the rigged election!” — and invite other New York news organizations, many of whom DETEST Murdoch, to cover it. (You didn’t know New York news people and news executives hate Murdoch? Blog goes into that a lot.)

Blog has many links to anti-Murdoch resources and video of Bill O’Reilly telling everybody to shut up, shut up, shut up, over and over. What a sewer rat! Right on camera! He looks really mean and drunk in one of the film clips. Jack Daniels? And he’s on camera hotly lecturing us, “It is our duty as all loyal Americans to shut up.” The video nails him good — and Fox. Blog gives other video links too.

Tired of being told to shut your trap? Open it. March against Fox and the rigged election in New York City.

But the idea is to put it all together, to protest and denounce Fox outside their offices for leading the COVER-UP of the election heist. It’s a shot across the bow to the rest of the media that they better start telling the truth about the election, or they’ll get protests like the one at Fox. All the national news media are based in Manhattan. They can’t say this protest was too out of the way to get to.

Blog also has links to downloadable anti-Fox flyers, petitions and other resources against Fox that could be distributed at the protest march.

Blog goes into tremendous detail about the strategy, the advantages of starting protests in New York as opposed to other cities (huge liberal population would augment people coming from out of town), and it’s the news media capital of the world. Very friendly terrain. New York Democratic congressmen are demanding investigation of the stolen election. No rednecks in the population or the government, no paranoid security apparatus like you have in D.C.

Blog includes complete “mother lode” total orientation guide to using New York subways with downloadable maps you can enlarge, how to use mass transit to get from Amtrak’s Penn Station to the march, how to use mass transit to get from the airports to the march.

Let’s make it happen!

Keep kicking that thread so everyone will hear of this!
