[sarahlee]

Please keep this kicked up until Sat. night.

RALLY! "Investigate all 88 counties, Litigate, Re-Count, Recuse”

Saturday, December 4th,
Columbus, OH
1:00 PM,
Ohio Statehouse Lawn
East Broad & South High Streets,
Columbus, Ohio

We demand that every vote be counted accurately from the Nov 2nd election. We demand a full re-count of Ohio's votes and a thorough investigation of all reported irregularities and discrepancies and charges of voter disenfranchisement throughout the state. The right to vote is a civil right and in a democracy no abridgement of that right can be tolerated. In Kiev, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators are on the streets, staying there overnight in the bitter cold, bringing the government to a halt and the world to attention, refusing to let democracy die. There are people coming to Ohio from all over the country for this rally. Let’s do this.

SPEAKERS:
Greg Palast (journalist and author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy),
Bill Moss (former Columbus school board member),
Bob Fitrakis (Columbus Free Press),
Reuben Herrera (Adelante - Latino/Latina Democrats),
Anita Rios (Green Party),
Cliff Arnebeck (lead litigant in the Contest of Election suit),
Jad Hummeidan (Council on American Islamic Relations),
Petey Talley (Ohio AFL-CIO) (invited),
Charleta Tavares (Columbus City Council member) (invited)

3. What is the point of this "Kick" I have only seen that on the . . .

4. we "kick" the thread to the top of the list of threads

If no one responds to a thread it vanishes from the front page of each forum and then no one gets to read it. If a thread is important for people to read then somebody justs posts a "kick" just to keep it on the front page so as many people as possible read it.

Hope this helped. :-)

11. sarahlee, forgive me

if I've missed this posted elseswhere. Sometimes these forums move quickly.

My question: What can those of us living in another state do to help support the Ohio rallies this weekend?

[sarahlee]

18. Good Question

But I don't have the answer for you - other than, of course, the continual need for contributions.

Also - for Ohio DUers, there are volunteers going into Ohio from other states and I am betting they may need help with food and lodging from Ohio citizens.

http://ohio-recount.info/ has set up a forum for the volunteers who will be helping with recount duties. You might register on that forum and ask.

Title is: UUs should COUNT THE VOTES AND MAKE THE VOTES COUNT

Letter is: An open letter to UUs in Ohio: On page 13 of the November/December UU World Magazine you can read about voting fraud. In Ohio you can open your front door and see questions about voting fraud and voting irregularities face to face. While Jesse Jackson has walked to the front of the bus to question the voting process in Ohio, Unitarian Universalists everywhere have been silent. Suffice it say that this is NOT an UU tradition! The mainstream media has not covered the concerns about the vote -- this does not mean that UUs shouldn’t be concerned!

Voters across America urge Ohio UUs and the entire Unitarian Universalist Association to volunteer for the recount in Ohio, to make a statement to the press concerning the vote in Ohio and other states which suffered significant voting irregularities, and to get involved with making every vote count. The League of Women Voters, the General Accounting Office, Common Cause, and many other organizations see enough voting irregularities to be cause for concern. Unitarian Universalists should too. American voters who can’t be in Ohio also urge UUs to attend the following rally.
