To those who pledged to support whoever voted with Conyers
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 03:55 PM by buddysmellgood
Please write a letter to the editor of your local and state papers thanking Conyers, Boxer and those that voted with them.
Here is what I sent.


Conyers and Boxer are true patriots

These are dark and troubling times. When Warren County, Ohio republicans plan ahead to close the courthouse to count votes in private, based on an FBI terror alert that the FBI denies issuing; when the co-chair of the Ohio Bush campaign can deny access to poll books during an official recount; when more votes are counted than there are registered voters, one would think the media would let us know. But the press has been strangely silent. No one can read the long list of cheats identified by Congressman John Conyers Jr. and honestly argue that the "election" in Ohio was fair. In America, when you have proof that an election was unfair, you contest the vote. That's just the right thing to do. Congressman Conyers, Senator Boxer and those that voted with them are modern patriots. We owe them a deep debt of gratitude for standing up and shedding light on the botched vote in Ohio. The crimes in Ohio have gone largely unreported by the main stream media. Conyers and Boxer give us hope that that the republic can be saved and democracy restored, but the fight is just beginning. Please take a stand and demand fair elections. There can be no legitimacy for any party until we restore faith in our electoral system. Visit www.nov3.us and click on Voter Bill of Rights.

5. Great letter - I posted it in my sample letter list with one change
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 04:03 PM by joevoter
"...to count votes excluding local media and citizen observers"

Since they are local media it makes it personal.
