My added thoughts...
Although I am a Canadian citizen I feel that this issue is the
most important one facing all of us in the Global Village. This
fraudulently [s]elected US 'government' has plans for us all
(ie.--endless war--total domination)---not just the citizens of
America. It's important that the whole world understand and resist this
blatant planatary coup that took place on November 2 2004. I think it's
of utmost importance to get the word out to the world media and other
world wide institutions. At the address below you will find thousands
of addresses of US and World media, as well as embassies, consulates
etc...please feel free to add others.
Hopefully they are not facing the same lockdown as the US Media
and are willing to fight for truth and justice, as it concerns us all.
It might be an idea to form a group whose main concern is to educate
those outside the US perimeter.

Hello John Kerry supporters!
You have worked tirelessly for over a year to elect John
Kerry and other
Democratic candidates. You've donated money, phone banked,
registered voters,
wrote letters to the editor, put up lawn signs, knocked on doors and
monitored
polls. You were there when they needed you. They still need you,
perhaps now more
than ever.
But more, your Democracy needs you.
We have been extremely cautious with respect to calling you to
action because
we are mindful of accusations of sour grapes or wild conspiracy
theories.
This caution has helped us as we now feel confident enough to reach out
and share
what we have learned:
We believe there were irregularities in crucial voting
precincts that may
have influenced the outcome of the election in George Bush's favor on
November
2nd. We believe the only way to restore faith in the integrity of
the electoral
process is to investigate these irregularities. We believe this
strongly enough
that we ask you to investigate for yourself by reading the articles
below.
Then, we ask you to devote a few more days before you take your holiday
vacation
to call for an investigation.
You will be joining a growing chorus of Democrats who suspect
that the
message of a fair shake for the middle class did, in fact, resonate
with Middle
America. That Americans really do vote rationally, the way they
always have, and that exit polls tell the truth, the way they
always have.
Already, six congress people have filed for an investigation and
John Kerry's
team of lawyers has been doing an independent investigation. We
have been
calling for electronic voting machines with a paper ballot for
years because we know the alternative is an invitation for
fraud. We need to
know that fraud did not occur.
The mainstream media is beginning to follow this story, led by
Keith
Olbermann at MSNBC, whose blog has frequent updates on the state of the
election and
the irregularities. Please send him a note at
KOlbermann@msnbc.com thanking him
for his journalistic enthusiasm and for staying on the story.
This is no substitute for the work that needs to happen over the
next years.
Work on communicating our message, work on building a deep bench of
qualified
candidates, work reviving Democratic appeal to all, regardless of
region or
culture. But without these investigations, it is possible that no
matter how much
work we invest, we will never win.
This is your call to action. Pass this on.

Sample Letter to Media (tailor this letter for election
officials and
congress people):
Every journalist and news organization has a vested interest in
investigating and exposing any possible fraud that may have
damaged our
democracy on November 2nd. Whether it is the kind of fraud
that happened in
2000 or tampering with the vulnerable and republican-owned
electronic voting
machines that evidence suggests occurred.
The House Judiciary Committee has asked the GAO to investigate
numerous
problems with the election process, and stories continue to
point to
irregularities that can no longer be ignored.
The press declared a mea culpa one year after passively
reporting the
misinformation fed to it in the lead up to the Iraq invasion.
You can
restore your reputation by helping Americans restore our faith
in the
integrity of the election system and to declare that "There are
certain
things that should never be privatized. Democracy is one
of them."
If you have any doubt that what happened November 2nd was
anything but a
fair and square victory for the George Bush administration, it
is your duty
as a journalist to follow your instinct. You will be
rewarded. You will
have half the country rooting for you, and grassroots groups
eager to
support you as you call for an investigation.
Please, step up to the plate!
