Only the Kerry/Edwards Campaign
can win this battle.

It's coming up on one month since the election. During that time we have found an overwhelming amount of evidence and instances where the 2004 Election was rigged and/or the vote was suppressed to prevent DEMS from voting.

You can say that for the last month, we have been in the discovery phase of the investigation into what really happened on Nov. 2nd. During this time, a lot of good research and evidence has been collected but until we can get the courts to order hand recounts and to have access the ballots, the machines and the programs we can't prove anything.

It is time for the Kerry Campaign and his army of lawyers to come forward and take action. We have done what we can, now it is their time. They are the only ones who can demand the media attention that the rest of this effort will require.

So please call, write, email, carrier pigeon, the Kerry/Edwards Campaign, the DNC and your local Democratic Executive Committee to stand up and fight for our right to know that our votes were counted and that they were counted accurately.

Thanks, the future of our country depends on us.

1. The Kerry/Edwards airplane of politics has no intentions
of landing on the crude runway we have prepared for them. It is quite possible that there is no "Kerry/Edwards Airplane". That may have been a mirage. It now appears that what was thought to be a formidable
attack airplane was a hot air balloon.

2. I'm not begging him, I'm not asking him.....
He ran for President of the United States.....A position of authority, power and wisdom.....This is the most powerful job in the UNIVERSE......

He has to come up to the plate and show he wants it. I am not about to beg this man.

3. I'm not suggesting that we beg or ask
I'm suggesting that tell them and demand action. Too many of us put to much time, money and energy into this thing to just walk away or to allow Kerry to just walk away. But if we don't complain, then why should anyone pay attention?

4. You are right
we shouldn't have to beg him to come forward and fight.He promised he would make sure every vote is counted and then he slipped away before this was done.
I asked our local dem party what they're doing about it and was told,more or less,to move on and not to be sucked into the conspiracy theory;to concentrate on the upcoming election(LA).
I'm pretty much convinced Kerry will not come out and fight,but I would like to hear it from him.
So far he has ignored Bev Harris' findings,but he still wants our support for his Health Care proposal and still asking for $.He already has enough of our money and he's not getting anymore of mine!
At this point I'm pretty disappointed with Kerry and the Party and every once in a while this little voice in my head tells me it was all a set-up from the beginning.Maybe there is some truth to skull and bone brotherhood thing...I don't know.
I feel betrayed.

16. Right - don't tell us tell him

Call or write Kerry.

IMO, he is probably trying to figure out when WE are going to get in the streets and MARCH so he can see how much strength he has behind him in this effort.

Recall that since the election,many just accepted Bush as their Lord and Savior.

If he read the DU Board he may just turn around and enjoy his family for the holidays.

All the Kerry bashing is certainly not encouragement.

7. new link on Kerry web page for donating to "post election day battles"


"Contributing to the Kerry-Edwards 2004 General Election Legal and Accounting Compliance Fund (GELAC) provides important support for our campaign. The Federal Election Commission has just granted our request to raise funds now to cover recount expenses. Your contribution to Kerry-Edwards 2004 GELAC will provide the resources to make sure we are prepared to win the POST ELECTION DAY battles.

In addition to recount costs, GELAC helps pay for legal and accounting expenses incurred by the campaign. By paying for these expenses with GELAC funds, the campaign is able to spend more of its limited public funds on critical campaign expenses such as media, candidate travel and direct contact with voters. "

What about this?

It's really up to Kerry at this point and we need to let him know that.

13. Don't knock 'em.. we just doubled our numbers...
Kieth and Jesse are bringing it more favorably into the main stream. I think we'll see an s-curve on the coverage. We just need to keep doing what we are doing in writing media outlets, being the media, etc.

We'll get there. :) - G

14. Kerry is thinking about '08 but . . .
he won't have any support in '08 if he doesn't participate in this fraud investigation now. The people who worked for him and rallied voters for him will loose their confidence in his promises: i.e. "we will count every vote and make every vote count". He needs to fulfill this promise or he can forget about '08. Who will be there for him when he wasn't here for us.

I am an avid Kerry supporter -- he wasn't just an anti-shrub vote for me -- I really wanted him for president. I still do. But his credibility is starting to falter. He needs to take a public position on this issue.

If this isn't cleared up now -- what's the point of any democrat running in '08 -- the repugs will just do the same thing again.

I emailed Kerry a few days ago about this. Here is the response I got:
Dear Friend,

The Kerry - Edwards campaign appreciates your message and the hundreds of
thousands we received throughout the campaign. The thoughts that flowed
in from across the country helped us run a grassroots campaign that was
unprecedented in political history. We always worked to provide the
highest levels of accessibility to information and responsiveness
possible.

The final addresses by John Kerry and John Edwards to supporters at
Fanueil Hall are available on our website - www.johnkerry.com

Clicking on the bottom of this cover page will also take you back to the
regular JohnKerry.com page.

We sincerely thank you all for the encouragement, ideas, feedback and
support you provided throughout this campaign.

The Kerry - Edwards Team

17. "...you've literally got to beat the shit out of John Kerry..."
From: Washington Square News
Issue date: 11.29.2004

Kerry aide pans nasty Bush run

by Jesse Greenspan
Contributing Writer

-snip-
Trbovich has known Kerry for more than 30 years, he said, and
even worked as communications director of Kerry's failed 1972
congressional campaign. He said the Massachusetts senator has
more integrity and intelligence than almost anyone else he
knows. He added, however, that unlike Bill Clinton, Kerry's
intellect is at stronger than his political ear.

"Excuse my language, but you've literally got to beat the shit
out of John Kerry sometimes to get him where you want him to
go," he said. •

18. Q: Why?
OK, before I begin, I'd like to say I've already written JK twice in the last week.

Now, here's the question...

Why did the Ohiodems and JJ quickly change their statements from Kerry being involved to little interest at this time (or some such thing)?

Could it be that both the Ohio Dems and JJ jumped the gun? I'll bet you tonight on KO, he back peddles really fast away from JK being involved.

I think that there's little the JK folks can do right now, until the count is certified. I do believe that the Glibs/Nader are doing groundwork. I think also it's frustrating to watch, and be a part of. I think if there is a plan, we'll be the last to know.

Maybe you do have to scream to get JK to hear, but I just don't think so. Don't you think he knows that Ohio isn't certified yet? That there are pending recounts and rallies and lawsuits?

Where is he? Hell, I don't know! I just don't believe that he gave up. It's always better to attack by surprise.
