Subject: Contest the Vote

This week www.ContestTheVote.org has reached three significant milestones.

1. On November 17, 2004, we received our 10,000th signature on the online
petition (more than 14,000 now) and have over 1,000 signatures on the hard
copy petitions.

2. There has been much interest from across the country, so we decided to go
national and extended the deadline for the petition due date to December 31,
2004. Each senator will now receive petitions with the signatures from his
or her constituents. Additionally, we will forward all of the signed
petitions to the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary to encourage them to
hold formal hearings on the election irregularities.

3. Four members of Contest the Vote went to Los Angeles on 12/15/04 and
asked Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) to join with Representative John Conyers
(D-MI) and others in contesting the official electoral vote count on
01/06/05. Though she has not yet firmly decided to join Representative
Conyers, she gave us every indication that she is seriously considering this
matter and is consulting with the representatives from Ohio.

Her State Director, Tom Bohegian, spent a considerable amount of time with
us over dinner answering our questions and reviewing this serious matter. He
indicated that he would be sharing points from our in-depth conversation
with Senator Boxer. We indicated to him that the numbers of signatures were
increasing daily and would soon top 10,000. We advised him to inspect our
website, <http://www.ContestTheVote.org>, for the latest information on
this.

Our website has been updated to include a FAQ page and more links to other
election related websites and organizations.

With your help we can hit 100,000 by the weekend! Please re-visit
<http://www.ContestTheVote.org> and forward our example email by clicking
the "Tell Others" button. It's easy, and within a few minutes you can empty
your address book and save Democracy!

Have fun spreading the word. Print out our ContestTheVote.org bookmarks,
take them to your local book stores or other fun place, and put a bookmark
in any book or spot you see fit. Be creative. It's a great bit of activism
that ties in with holiday shopping.

Continue to reach out to organizations, friends and affiliates. The response
has been fantastic. Call in to a radio station. Send a letter to the editor.
Don't forget to mention <http://www.ContestTheVote.org>!

Thanks!
