Reply #3: My Letter to Their Editor:

[HappinessPie]

Dear Editor,

I am a United States citizen who does not support, and never supported, George W. Bush as our president. He did not win in 2000, and he did not win this year. I know that the popular vote and EV tallies may seem to say otherwise, but your readers must understand how unreliable the voting methods were in this election.

He may have garnered a majority of the popular vote, but many of us believe, based on voting irregularities, that:

(1) It was not by that large a margin, and he may not have won it at all.

(2) Ohio, the key to an Electoral College win, was not won fairly.

Not only were there vote challenges and uncounted provisional and absentee ballots, there were electronic voting machines with no paper trails. Exit polls, which were very accurate in states with paper ballots, were suspiciously wrong in states with electronic machines. Exit polls are taken of a very large sample size, and can usually be relied upon as a reasonably accurate check of election results.

The reason I am writing to you today is to express my solidarity with the international community in disavowing the legitimacy of this president as the voice of the American people. Not only does he not have a mandate, but we believe he does not even speak for half of us. There are many Americans - more than 55 million (and more, since many votes appear to have "disappeared") - who recognize the danger of this administration to both US citizens and the world at large. I hope that our neighbors in the UK and Europe do not paint all Americans with this tainted brush.

We need the help of our allies in the rest of the world, to de-legitimize George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and the corporations who support them. If our efforts to expose the voting fraud do not succeed, we will have lost faith in the power of democracy, but will somehow have to continue fighting this corrupt regime. The only way we will be able to do this is if the rest of the world stands behind us, so I implore your readers to do all they can.

We can vote with our dollars, if we cannot have our voices heard. That is one thing our neighbors around the world can help us to do. This is for the best interests of all nations around the world, given the pivotal role the US traditionally plays in geopolitics.

We must all fight for what's right. Please, divest from this "faith-based" government and its corporate cronies. Help us make the USA a positive force in the world, not a fascist-imperialist nightmare. I am not exaggerating when I say the fabric of global society hangs in the balance.

Sincerely,

A Deeply Concerned Citizen of the World (first) and the US (second)
