43. This gives us a good idea of their plans...
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 06:25 PM by SaveAmerica
Guys, my blood was boiling when I read this (I'm fairly calmer but getting an ulcer) but I'm wondering if we can use it for our cause. We've got to get a list of the newspapers that endorsed Kerry and focus our attention on getting the message out to them, there's got to be a major paper that will help out. Narrow the list of papers down to 4; northeast, southeast, etc. and everyone write well thought out short letters to them to let them know the importance of what is going on.

These guys are most likely reading these boards and are nervous because of the wealth of evidence. They've chosen a newspaper they know will write for them and they've kept their message short and sweet. That's how they think they'll keep the truth from getting out. That's their message: That we're trying to steal the election. Remembering that 50% of america needs short sweet messages to help them understand issues, we should focus on 2 or 3. Letters should mention;

1. Voters were disenfranchised in Ohio (come up with most important)
a. more machines in repub. precincts than dem.
b. more dem. provisional ballots thrown out
c. letters sent out to vote on second

2. SoS Blackwell conflict of interest with Bush/Cheney campaign

3. Electronic voting machines conflict of interest with Bush/Cheney campaign

Think of the election, there were SO MANY reasons to keep GW out of the white house and we wanted everyone to know all of them. All were legit but they couldn't handle the info overload. It's the same thing now, there are SO MANY reasons that GW should not remain in the white house but we'd overload the people who need simple messages with all the information we have. Someone please help me crunch down the main idea here of a simple 2 or 3 point letter that can be sent to everyone, to get this message out. My hands are shaking and I'm not able to get my thoughts together very well because I'm so mad but I hope what I'm trying to say gets across. Thanks.


Edit misinformation about book seen at library.
