27. Thanks

I'm getting addicted. It's the only place I can find out what's really going on -- the news coverage is so minimal, even Keith can't tell us everything. I just hope it does some good and we can turn this around!

5. I can get CSPAN videos up on this site...

http://news.guide.real.com

Which gets 5k hits a day. If we can raise the hit count up, then I can start asking them to post it on the main page:

Which gets 2.5M hits a day.

6. My email to [email protected]

It is absolutely essential that you do full, real-time coverage of Rep Conyers meeting on 8 Dec 2004.

Our democracy is being threatened at its core; our Constitutional rights to participate in the election of our government. That participation requires fair and equitable access to vote; unambiguous and validated counting of the votes.

Rep Conyers session on Wed., 8 Dec 2004 will launch into the public's full view how unfair, ambiguous and flawed the current national election process is.

What we already know informs us that 'Watergate' will pale in comparison to the systemic disenfranchisement practiced in the national election process of 2004.

Thank you, in advance, for providing comprehensive, complete, real-time coverage of Rep Conyers meeting and all that will follow; our Democracy depends on it.

Thank you,
xxxxx

Title:
URGENT CALL TO ACTION: UUs Needed to Help Make the Votes Count!

Letter:
I am writing to you today on behalf of all Americans. We can’t be there but you can attend on our behalf! On December 8th at 10:00 EST, Representative John Conyers, (Dem) Ranking Minority Member of the House Judiciary Committee will hold Ad Hoc hearings into election irregularities in Ohio. This is an unprecedented hearing will hear evidence on consistent and widespread errors and action which served to disenfranchise Ohio Voters. UUs NEED TO PACK THE HOUSE TO LET CONGRESS KNOW THAT WE CARE ABOUT MAKING SURE EVERY VOTE IS COUNTED AND UUs NEED TO INSIST THE MEDIA COVER THE EVENT! Voter complaints in Ohio constitute a troubled portrait of altered votes and suppressed votes. Regardless of the outcome of the election, the U.S. Government needs to examine any and all factors that may have led to these significant voting irregularities. Why have UUs been silent on this central challenge to the integrity of our voting system? Please attend on behalf of all Americans who can’t be there!
ACTION REQUEST:
Organize a phone tree to UUs in your church and in other like minded churches to get out as many people as possible for the hearing and to call and email the media insisting they cover the event. Also UUs need to call their Senator and their House Representatives and urge them to attend this hearing. THIS IS URGENT!

CONGRESSIONAL CONTACTS:
Can be found at www.house.gov and www.senate.gov or Monday morning, call the U.S. capitol switchboard three times (1-800-839-5276). Ask for your Representative, then both your Senators, and request that they attend this hearing.

BACKGROUND: Democratic Representative John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan, ranking Minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, will hold a hearing on Wednesday 08 December 2004 to investigate allegations of vote fraud and irregularities in Ohio during the 2004 Presidential election. The hearing is slated to begin at 10:00 a.m. EST in the 2138 Rayburn House Office Building in Washington DC.
Democratic Representatives Melvin Watt and Robert Scott will also be centrally involved with the hearing. Rev. Jesse Jackson will be in attendance, along with Ralph Neas (President, People for the American Way), Jon Greenbaum (Director, Voting Rights Project, Lawyers Committee For Civil Rights Under Law), Ellie Smeal (Executive Director, The Feminist Majority), Bob Fitrakis ( The Free Press), Cliff Arnebeck (Arnebeck Associates), John Bonifaz (General Counsel, National Voting Institute), Steve Rosenfeld (Producer, Air America Radio), and Shawnta Walcott (Communications Director, Zogby International). Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell has been invited to attend.
The term ‘hearing’ is technically not accurate in this matter, as Conyers and his fellow Representatives will be holding this forum without the blessing of the Republican Majority leader of the Judiciary Committee. Staffers from the Minority office at the Judiciary Committee describe the event as a ‘Members Briefing.’ That having been said, this event will be a hearing by every meaningful definition of the word. Expert testimony will be offered, and a good deal of data on potential fraud previously unreported to the public will be discussed and examined at length.
The core of what Conyers and his fellow Minority members will be discussing at this hearing can be found in the letter below, which was sent by the Minority office to Ohio Secretary of State Blackwell on 02 December. In the letter, Conyers, along with Reps. Watt, Nadler and Baldwin, outline a broad and detailed series of questions and concerns about the manner in which the Ohio election took place.
