Kerry stays in the Ohio Greens/Libertarians election theft lawsuit

[Fly by night]

This morning (at 4:30 am), I received an email that many of us have been hoping for. It was from someone near the Kerry camp, and the email said that John Kerry has decided to stay and fight the Ohio election theft as part of the Greens' and Libertarians' lawsuit.

While I have sent out several emails this morning to people who are at the center of this lawsuit for confirmation, I want to believe that what I have just been told is true. And on that basis, I wanted to share this with all of you.

For weeks, this forum has been occupied with "will he or won't he?" threads, starting with DemoDonkey's thread started at the Atlanta voting rights march. Hundreds (maybe thousands) of us wrote John Kerry (some of us multiple times) to ask him to stay the course in Ohio. Ten days ago, I got a chance to do a little more.

Through a contact made here on DU, I had an hour long conversation early on a Sunday morning with the person who wrote me the email this morning. She said that Kerry's attorneys were still not convinced that fraud had occurred in Ohio. After asking whether they had posed for this month's Harper's magazine cover (the "see no evil, hear no evil" chimps), I reviewed just a smidgeon of the overwhelming evidence that we have marinated in on the 2004 ERD forum for the past ten months. And then I helped organize a flood of audio tapes of Ohio election theft experts to be sent to Kerry's camp from the National Election Reform Conference in Nashville, from the Houston Election Assessment Hearing and from the BradBlog radio archives. Within six hours, we had over a dozen MP3s emailed to Washington with hard evidence of the Ohio election theft for Kerry's attorneys (who should have already known this information) to hear and review. Within a few days, I got word back that our audio tapes were having an effect and that John Kerry was going to meet with John Conyers to discuss what was known about fraud in Ohio.

And then yesterday came word that indictments had been handed down in Ohio against corrupt election officials there. It's my belief that Cuyahoga County is the first of many Ohio counties that will have their election officials brought before judges to answer for the felonious behavior that helped ignore the consent of the governed and steal our country's soul.

And then the email early this morning that Kerry is staying in the Greens/Libertarians Ohio lawsuit. Again, I am working to corroborate this story and I will post here as more confirmation arrives. If any of you folks have heard anything, post it here also. But for now, I want to thank DU once again for being the righteous spider's web that links us together so effectively, so powerfully and so purposefully. Without DU, we would all be on Bourbon Street without a paddle these days.

Late word: As I was getting ready to post this, I got this email from my Kerry camp "contact":

"The information is good--you can rely on it--but I doubt there will be announcements--they just don't work like that. I could be wrong, but JK is pretty uncomfortable with calling attention to either changing his mind or to fighting the battles he fights. I wish he would be less self-effacing about these things, but it is part of his natural discomfort with horn-tooting.(Remember he fought Iran Contra AND BCCI and you never heard much about it).

"Anyway, please let people know you have it on good authority .... And thanks for all your care and time on this issue--it DID make a difference."

Thank you, DU. We all are making a difference. Let's keep it up.
