TIME TO ORGANIZE!!! WE NEED TO..
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 10:24 AM by mordarlar
have a central place to work on all the great suggestions made by the people here. It is sad watching so many fabulous ideas fall by the wayside.

-Someone to look into cost and effective locals for the bulletin board mentioned.

-Someone to direct a DU investigation of Blackwell.

-People to continue lobbying the media.

-Someone to create a thank you website for those people who have tirelessly fought for us.

-Someone offered the great idea of a book that details the complaints to get the word out.

-Someone who is a creative cartoonist to create an educational cartoon for small pamphlets about voter fraud.

-One continuous thread of suggestions for getting the word out.

I hope this is not offensive. I have just been frustrated to see the threads listed and then disappear. We have the ideas. Lets make them happen. : )The people who made these suggestions can please claim them. I could not remember names.

5. "Time to Organize"?

Something that let's people know to come here to claim tasks.

"The Official Boxer Day +1 Action Thread" maybe?

4. Election Reform Awareness - Educating Elected Officials
I want to help spearhead the continuing fight for election reform. I believe passionately about that.

I am a Project Manager and I offer up my PM skills to help get this started.

I will start a thread for this endeavor.

Great job, mordarlar. You are a ROCK STAR!!! :yourock:

18. you're a PM! Excellent. Your skills are needed
I helped start a PMI healthcare group. I hate project management myself but I work well with PMs since I respect what they do.

8. Someone to direct a DU investigation of Blackwell
Can a citizen of Ohio request a federal grand jury investigation on Blackwell for civil rights violations

I know in California if you have compelling evidence of violations of the law you can exert your rights through a judge who will be forced to form a federal grand jury to investigate

9. I was thinking more along the lines...
of the links and connections we are so good at finding here. But that is a great question. I know there is a lawsuit naming Blackwell. Perhaps a legal mind could answer this.

11. Mordarlar,
sounds like you've finally broken in. Sounds like you're happier here than you were a couple of weeks ago. Glad you stuck around.

15. who would have to complain about his breaking the law?
For him to be charged with a crime? Does that have to come from the state? It makes no sense that the only way for him to be sanctioned for breaking the law would have to come from his comrades in state government. The prosecutor's office, who tells them what to do? The state attorney general? Would a lawyer please explain how it should work?

13. Have you ever considered
How powerful we would be if we could merge with such organizations as Move On and other progressive sites and develop strategies and goals together?

21. Could possibly form a joint action committe
would be the best possible blend of both worlds

A committe to decide which issues to jointly call members for action on petition drives, email/letter/phone campaigns.

A shared database of concerned citizens that WILL take action
