HELP with the efforts to RECOUNT OHIO - $500,000 NEEDED for RECOUNT

[HuskerDem]

They got the money they needed for the petition but we have to have money so we can MONITOR the recount. So they don't, you know, steal it AGAIN.........

Please give as you are able.

1. wtf is kerry doing with all the money he collected for this?

[TexasBushwhacker]

18. I have to wonder too

Seriously, they can't really spend it on anything else can they? Unless the Kerry coffers are bone dry, it seems to me that's where the money should be coming from. I already donated to BBV, and since I'm unemployed, I'm getting a little pissed off at the constant begging for bucks. It was my understanding the bucks are already there, somewhere. Frankly $500K should be chump change.

2. HEY! I'm running outta money here...

[KenCarson]

6. what happened to the donated millions?

7. Kerry has the money, but he is not the one asking for the recount.

Although I don't understand where 500,000 $ is coming from.
Cobb (Green Party) was saying they need to collect an extra 100,000$. They already collected 150,000 $ for fees. Now another group is collecting for OH?
Are these groups cooperating with each other?
:wtf:

10. Ralph Nader

is organizing the monitoring process and I think he is the one asking for the 500k. This money will go to housing volunteers and paying for their expenses, so they can monitor the recount -- remember, the Rethugs cannot be trusted to do anything right by (pun intended :)) themselves...

[LisaL]

14. Sorry, I don't think it's Nader.

Nader actually said he won't accept money from 527 groups, so if anybody wants to donate to Nader, they have to donate to him directly.
This is another group that has no relationship to Nader. I am getting very confused over these groups and what group is doing what.
Meanwhile, Kerry has millions set aside for recounts, but is not using them.

15. Badnarik (Libertarian) and Cobb (Green) asked for the recount.

bless em!

12. If Kerry's campaign is sitting around with OUR money for recounts

and not using it -- then it's a disgrace, a CRIME against democracy and against all of us who worked our f'ing lives and hearts out to get him elected and overthrow the bush cartel.

Who is Kerry listening to? I thought he was smart and a fearless fighter? Is he listening to Clinton and his crap about Kerry losing because of the gay issue (played over and over on CNN radio which I'm forced to listen to because it's on my AAR feed)?

Nutzo.

This election could be stolen right before our eyes, and where is our hero to save it? Were we all mistaken? We're being covered in blood. People are dying in Falloja, troops are dying, international law is being broken, all hell is being unleashed, and Kerry's campaign is stashing away cash for 2008 rather than working to make sure the votes are counted accurately and any fraud detected and prosecuted? God help us all if that's true. What planet are they living on? Where are their brains? Where are their hearts? Where are their souls? Why the hell do they even imagine there will be a vote in 2008? Are they all on the side of the bloody multinationals? Do they no longer have any power to act at all in defense of freedom and of justice?

Sorry everyone, but I'm sobbing right now. At this moment, this is just too much to contemplate.

When I quit crying, I'll give more to Cobb for the recount.

[Cookie wookie]

13. Gave what I could to the

helpamericarecount site. Gave to Cobb for Ohio a few days ago, and hope by giving to the helpamericarecount site that they are collecting for Cobb's Ohio efforts. Or is this fund for any and all recounts? Is it going to Bev Harris too? I should have asked before I gave. Anyone know?
