A YURICA REPORT NEWS ALERT
From Susan Truitt, Co-founder, CASE Ohio, Citizens' Alliance for Secure Elections with changes and additions from the Yurica Report:
Thank you all for your supportive responses to the allegations of election fraud in the 2004 presidential election.
Here are some concrete actions that you can take that will make a difference.
Please keep your indignation alive and use that energy to raise the issue publicly until the mass media can use the "F" word - fraud.
Please keep the energy going to help educate the public regarding the devastating truth that our electoral process is broken and is being taken over by right wing zealots and privatization.
For an excellent overview see The Voter Rights March: "Stolen Election 2004." This is a detailed synopsis of what we know now. Go to: http://www.stolenelection2004.com/
We particularly want to encourage you to help Bev Harris. Send financial donations to: www.blackboxvoting.org, Bev Harris' site. She is doing a world of good with her tenacious and brave work. She sent out Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to every county in the country, and that type of effort requires funds. Read Black Box Voting, by Bev Harris, available on the web, to arm yourself with the sad facts of a broken electoral process.
Also, send donations to www.eff.org. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been instrumental in all litigation across the country relating to e-voting (electronic voting).
Send donations to www.verifiedvoting.org and www.votersunite.org and www.ballotintegrity.org. These organizations have done a lion's share of getting the word out about what is wrong in this country's electoral process.
Contact www.TrueMajority.org and www.moveon.org/investigatethevote/ and www.commoncause.org and sign their petitions and tell them to help pursue a post-election challenge to the vote tallies. Donate money to these organizations.
Sign petitions requesting congressional investigations: http://www.petitiononline.com/uselect/petition.html
Here's a link to an important vehicle for expressing support for election reform. It is now a click away on the website of Women Progressive Activists Founded in January of 2000 in Ann Arbor, MI, to protest election theft, WPA has made election reform its central project. Among the several essential provisions within the Count Every Vote Act, a ban on political activity by elections officials addresses issues raised in Florida, Ohio--and Michigan--where Secretaries of State also chaired Elect Bush committees.
Write to your local newspapers to inform the public at large what is going on. Tell them to cover the election debacle and tell them to use the "F" word liberally.
FAX Ralph Nader, 202-265-0092, and tell him to file for recounts and reexaminations of the tally in the states in which he was on the ballot.
Write to John Conyers (D - Mich), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee on the Constitution, who has requested a Congressional Hearing on the 2004 election. Tell him you support the request and that you want him to push for the hearing to be held as soon as possible.
