Latest News On the Election Fraud Story and Action Alerts
Please Forward -
Friends,
It's been a while since my last email. I've been busy with family, holiday, and travel. But the election story hasn't gone away, in fact it's gained quite a bit of steam (with zero help from the media).
In the last few days, Jesse Jackson been holding rallies all over Ohio to raise awareness of the voting "irregularities" (fraud). In a speech on Sunday, he revealed that he had talked to John Kerry who expressed his support for the investigation and recount efforts.
Today this was confirmed, as the Kerry team filed official papers to intervene in a legal battle in the state. As many of you know, the Green and Libertarian party candidates have filed for a recount in Ohio.
Judges have since filed a restraining order on them, basically stating that their recount request is not valid, because they were not close enough in the election that a recount could make a difference to them in any way.
This goes against the Ohio constitution, which states any candidate can file for a recount, as long as they were on the ballot. Still, the judges have ignored this statute and have silenced the recount request. But if a candidate that was close enough to be affected by a recount were to file such a request, their ruling would not apply. Can anyone think of such a candidate that could be affected by a recount?
"John Kerry, reporting for duty."
Today the Cobb (Green Party) campaign announced that the Kerry team has filed legal papers to intervene with the Judge's ruling. This is a major development and represents the first legal action by the Kerry team. It will not be the last. Please check the SolarBus website for a link to this breaking story.
And that's not all. Bev Harris has filed a second lawsuit in Florida, this one against election officials in Palm Beach County, which is normally a democratic stronghold but mysteriously was more for Bush than anyone expected. It appears that they have ignored her Freedom of Information Act request for the audit logs of the electronic voting machines there, and that is against the law. Check the website for a great story of how
Bev sneaked in to to a meeting to deliver the legal papers to the defendants.
There is also a developing story about a man named Wayne Madsen, who claims to have smoking gun evidence of a $29 million check that was used to finance the vote rigging operation. Some are concerned that this story could be a plant, because if it becomes a big story and then was proven false, it would raise doubts about the entire voter fraud theory (ala the Dan Rather papers). Still, Madsen has provided hard details including the check number, who it was written to, and other specific information that is going to have to be reconciled at some point. His three articles and an audio interview are now available on the SolarBus website.
There are dozens of new important articles found on the website. Please look for the "NEW" symbol next to the stories I've added in the last couple days.
I've also broken off the Take Action section into its own page. Please read through it and do everything on there that you can. You'll notice a growing list of local and nationwide protests that are being scheduled. A big one is coming up on December 12th. Please participate if you can.
We need to show that we're not just a handful of tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists. We are all types of people who just want our votes to count. (There are some good photos of a protest in Denver in the Lead Stories section).
A few reminders:

The most important issue we face as a nation is election reform and voter fraud. In the 2004 election, nearly 80% of the votes nationwide were counted on machines made by three companies that support the Republican Party, many of which produced no paper trail that could be checked in a recount. A bill was introduced in Congress to outlaw these machines but the Republican Party prevented the bill from coming to a vote. While Democrats today are trying to figure out what they did wrong, and how to change the party for the next election, the real issue is the voting machines and election reform. It is more important that the economy, the war, the environment, health care, taxes, and women's rights. If we do not take back our right to vote and have it counted properly, none of these other issues matter at all and nothing will change.
"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" - Mario Savio - 1964
