Democracy suffered a serious, potentially fatal blow on November 2nd. Every
dirty trick in the fascist playbook (including direct intimidation of
voters) was employed to disenfranchise large segments of the voting public
in swing states to keep Bush in the White House and the Republicans as the
congressional majority.

Sonoma County activist Eve Roberson has just returned from 2 weeks in Ohio
volunteering to help find out what went so wrong there on November 2: "As a
retired election supervisor for many years, I am an advocate of every
American's right to vote and to have it be counted accurately.  I was
shocked to see what happened in Greene County, Ohio, in this election:
[Republican] challenges [of voters], voter intimidation, unnecessary hours'
long waits in the rain to vote, being directed to wrong precincts, rejection
of valid provisional ballots, electronic voting machines that "flipped" the
vote [to Bush]." 

The media are reporting these events, if at all, as the product of internet
conspiracy nuts. 

Contact the Senators below by phone, FAX or email, to urge them to contest
the vote on Thursday, January 6, when the electoral college votes are to be
certified in Congress.  It only takes a few minutes to do. In Farenheit 9/11
you may recall no Senator would stand up before Congress to challenge the
2000 election (which Gore was later proved to have won), and senators later
said they hadn't been asked!

We can't let that happen again.

Urge each Senator to stand with other Senators and Representatives of
conscience to challenge the electoral vote count on January 6. Tell them to
represent the thousands of disenfranchised voters in Ohio, Florida and other
states who were prevented from voting or whose votes were thrown out or not
accurately counted.  Tell them to call for an independent, authoritative
investigation before any certification of the electoral college ballots. Add
any personal message you want. Our democracy depends on it. For if the
voting problems and defalcations of the 2004 elections are not fully exposed
and corrective measures instituted now, there will be no democracy.

RALLY FOR THE REPUBLIC

Tuesday, January 4, 7PM, at the Herbst Theater, corner of Van Ness Avenue
and McAllister Street, San Francisco, ReDefeatBush.com is taking on the RNC
vote-erasing machine and we need to join in the effort. Speakers include
David Lytel, Emily Levin (project coordinator for Richard Hayes Phillips'
precinct-level analysis of Ohio voting anomalies entered as evidence in the
pending litigation, Moss v. Bush), and researcher Warren Stewart (analyst of
New Mexico's mysterious phantom votes), and there will be a screening of the
disturbing Linda Byrket documentary Video the Vote witnessing the shameful
voter suppression tactics deployed to deny predominantly African American
communities of Ohio their right to vote. NORTHBAY CARPOOL INFO
