Subject: [Wow Is Now] 2004 Election Fraud #2: THINGS YOU CAN DO

Friends -
Time is of the essence. We need to let the MEDIA know that we are hip to the
fraud that took place on November 2, that they MUST cover this story, and
that its time they resume their role of government watchdog – a role that
they seem to have given up long ago. We need to let our REPRESENTATIVES know
that we are aware of the gross voting irregularities (especially in Florida
& Ohio), that we care about the integrity of our democratic process, and
that EVERY VOTE MUST BE COUNTED!
Many of my friends and I have compiled all of the necessary contact
information and put it into this one email for your convenience. I know that
the amount of information is overwhelming, but we must ACT NOW - quickly,
widely, and fiercely. Please consider taking an hour out of your day to
write a letter and express your concerns, cut & paste this letter and send
it to every media outlet and representative you possibly can. And please,
forward this to all of you friends, family, & listservs ASAP, so that they
can do the same.
Thanks,
Carly

First, please send an email to the Kerry campaign, the GAO, & the DNC
demanding an election investigation through this website:

Here are just a few of the biggies to get you started:

Tips:
It's always good to appeal to their vanity: "I consider CBS to be one of
America's most significant media outlets....This is the first time I've
questioned the integrity of your organization..." Sure, it's total BS, but
it makes them feel a bit better as they read a message full of spite! As Mae
West used to say, "Flattery will get you everywhere."
--------------------------
Contact these representatives & agencies and tell them that you are outraged
and concerned about the possibility of election fraud and votes not having
been counted properly in your state and others that may have altered the
outcome of the election. Mention that you are aware of reports from counties
around the country (in particular OH and Florida) that reported the
following a) More votes recorded than there are voters in counties using
electronic voting machines b) that not all military, provisional and
absentee ballots have been counted. Let them know you consider this to be
serious violations of your rights as a citizen under the "HAVA - Help
America Vote Act" and that you want them to undertake an investigation.

ELECTION FRAUD EMAIL #1Dear Friends,
I've been doing my homework on the election and I'm simply disgusted! In my
opinion, the Bush Administration stole this election too, they just did it
far more underhandedly than in 2000. What a surprise. It's true, we are a
deeply divided America, that we seem to have very different "moral values",
and that Kerry ran a fairly poor campaign. But nevertheless, I believe that
we Americans are again the victims of massive voter fraud via electronic
voting machines and voter suppression tactics. As we speak, the GAO, House
Democrats, Black Box Voting and Ralph Nader are investigating this so-called
election. I know it's easier to stick your head in the sand and simply
resign ourselves to another 4 years of Bush, but I hope you'll please read
the information I've collected, write letters and make calls to your
representatives, and please forward these links to the media, family and
friends. Don't give up the fight!
Thanks,
Carly

Election Was Rigged and Stolen! - Where is the Outrage? When Will
the Biggest Demonstrations in US History Happen?
http://www.opednews.com/kall_110404_outrage.htmAND FINALLY:
Why the election was stolen, by Mark Crispin Miller, media critic,
professor of communications at New York University, and author, most
recently, of "Cruel and Unusual: Bush/Cheney's New World Order."
(copied from Salon.com)
First of all, this election was definitely rigged. I have no doubt about
it. It's a statistical impossibility that Bush got 8 million more votes than
he got last time. In 2000, he got 15 million votes from right-wing
Christians, and there are approximately 19 million of them in the country.
They were eager to get the other 4 million. That was pretty much Karl Rove's
strategy to get Bush elected.
But given Bush's low popularity ratings and the enormous number of new
voters -- who skewed Democratic -- there is no way in the world that Bush
got 8 million more votes this time. I think it had a lot to do with the
electronic voting machines. Those machines are completely untrustworthy, and
that's why the Republicans use them. Then there's the fact that the
immediate claim of Ohio was not contested by the news media -- when Andrew
Card came out and claimed the state, not only were the votes in Ohio not
counted, they weren't even all cast.
I would have to hear a much stronger argument for the authenticity, or I
should say the veracity, of this popular vote for Bush before I'm willing to
believe it. If someone can prove to me that it happened, that Bush somehow
pulled 8 million magic votes out of a hat, OK, I'll accept it. I'm an
independent, not a Democrat, and I'm not living in denial.
And that's not even talking about Florida, which is about as Democratic a
state as Guatemala used to be. The news media is obliged to make the
Republicans account for all these votes, and account for the way they were
counted. Simply to embrace this result as definitive is irrational. But
there is every reason to question it ... I find it beyond belief that the
press in this formerly democratic country would not have made the integrity
of the electoral system a front page, top-of-the-line story for the last
three years. I worked and worked and worked to get that story into the
media, and no one touched it until your guy did.
I actually got invited to a Kerry fundraiser so I could talk to him about
it. I raised the issue directly with him and with Teresa. Teresa was really
indignant and really concerned, but Kerry just looked down at me -- he's
about 9 feet tall -- and I could tell it just didn't register. It set off
all his conspiracy-theory alarms and he just wasn't listening.
Talk to anyone from a real democracy -- from Canada or any European country
or India. They are staggered to discover that 80 percent of our touch-screen
electronic voting machines have no paper trail and are manufactured by
companies owned by Bush Republicans. But there is very little sense of
outrage here. Americans for a host of reasons have become alienated from the
spirit of the Bill of Rights and that should not be tolerated.
