Sen EDWARDS: Please honor our efforts by speaking out.
I and many like me worked organizing, writing, calling, canvassing for the Democrats in this last election. I registered many first time voters and talked to countless households in low income African American neighborhoods, assuring them that you guys were "The Real Deal". You promised us that every vote would count. We worked so many hours, putting our children, families, and lives on the back burner because so much was at stake. We got out the vote,on Nov 2, even supplying food, umbrellas and words of encouragement on that rainy election day in Ohio. "Please stay in line" we told many, "your vote will count, we promise."

Since November 2, I have been working with the same passion and conviction to expose the sham of an election that occurred in Ohio. Where are you Sen Edwards? This is when we need the leadership of the Democratic Party to step up to the plate. Rev Jackson has the courage to speak out! We need your voice as well.

I do not take my promises likely. I am not a politician. I am a mother, a business owner, a proud liberal and a person who follows up on her promises. I will continue to fight for the people who got out and voted until we are assured that we truly have a democracy-with equal protection under the law. Please join us in calling for a full investigation into the election. As Rev Jackson says, it is not about George Bush or John Kerry, It is about protecting our democracy and the civil rights of it's voters. Join us in Columbus Ohio on Sat Dec 4 and help our voices be heard.

3. Wishing you much success
If I had a way to get to Columbus Ohio, I'd be there. I hope this message gets out. I'll be with you in heart and mind. Good writing, as well!

4. On countdown last night Keith Olbermann said in his opening statement
that it looks Edwards wasn't too happy with his running mate (Kerry), and that Edward has said: 'The Democratic Party need a candidate with a strong message".
Keith also mentioned that Edwards may run in "08.
I was very upset to hear this, it brought my hopes down for 2004, and it confused me as I see so many other signs that give me hope.
I can't get out of my mind what Keith said.
Does anyone have an optimistic opinion on this?
