its hanging like a chad right now!
CALL OUT TO ALL OREGON CITIZENS, 30.12.2004 19:24
On January 6, 2005, Congress will meet in joint session to certify the 2004 presidential election. On that day, if one member of the House and one member of the Senate object to the certification of the vote, then all members of Congress will finally discuss these issues. On January 6, 2001, not a single Senator would join with the Representatives who demanded an inquiry into the Florida recount. This year, let's make our Senators take a stand!
"The very future of democratic elections in the United States of America is hanging like a chad right now!"
We need Senators to stand up with some backbone and call to question this election. Send an email to Senator Wyden now. It only takes a couple minutes to do it.
Go here to send an email to Senator Ron Wyden. There is a form, its a piece of cake 
http://wyden.senate.gov/contact/
Look below for the email, that I sent... (steal this email if you want to, or use it for an idea)
send an email, quicker than a letter
Dear Senator Wyden,
I am writing to request that you call for an immediate investigation
into the many problems and irregularities encountered in the election of November 2, 2004.
You visited with us on November 3 in a townhall meeting in the Medford
Jackson County Library, and I suspect you might have been somewhat
surprised at the anger expressed by the crowd. Many in that audience
met on the following Monday, November 8, and started a series of
meetings which question the legitimacy of the election. The "perils of
black box voting without a paper trail" is one leading concern this
group has and we ask you to stand up NOW as our Senator and question the many irregularities in this election.
There are at least 14 members of the House of Representatives who will
challenge the validity of the 2004 election. Senator Wyden, stand up
and do the same. The very future of democratic elections in the United States of America is hanging like a chad right now!

Call Your Senators - Object to the Certification of the Electoral College
by No Stolen Elections! Campaign Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2004 at 12:08 AM
More than a month has passed since voters cast votes for the President and Vice-President of the United States -- but every day, more and more stories surface that call into question the election's integrity.
January 6, 2005:
Take Action on Election Violations
as Congress Meets to Certify the Vote!
More than a month has passed since voters cast votes
for the President and Vice-President of the United
States -- but every day, more and more stories surface
that call into question the election's integrity.
Machines broke down, counted backwards, eliminated
votes, and registered votes for the wrong candidate.
progressive and African-American neighborhoods
experienced by far the longest lines on election day,
the most vote spoilage, the most elimination of
provisional ballots, and the most victimization by
precinct manipulation.
Four hundred thousand callers phoned voter protection
hotlines, with complaints ranging from absentee
ballots lost in the mail, to outright voter
intimidation and disenfranchisement. And partisan
election officials with conflicts of interest
undermined voting rights in states from Ohio to
Florida to New Mexico. Even progressive Democrats on
the House Judiciary Committee have questioned the
elections' legitimacy, in a series of rigorous,
painstakingly detailed letters documenting the
unprecedented extent and scope of vote suppression,
available at http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/
How can we have confidence in American democracy when
so many questions about this election remain
unanswered? In addition to the longstanding issues
subtly undermining democracy -- corporate domination
of the two major parties, plurality elections, and
corporate media bias - the recent election betrayed
democratic principles overtly.
Despite the efforts of a few valiant members of
Congress, most of our Senators and Representatives
have ignored our pleas for serious investigation into
the "irregularities" that surrounded the 2004
election. But one more opportunity remains for these
government officials to stand for democracy.
URGE PROGRESSIVE SENATORS TO TAKE A STAND ON JAN. 6,
WHEN CONGRESS MEETS TO CERTIFY THE VOTE
On January 6, 2005, Congress will meet in joint
session to certify the 2004 presidential election. On
that day, if one member of the House and one member of
the Senate object to the certification of the vote,
then all members of Congress will finally discuss
these issues. On January 6, 2001, not a single Senator
would join with the Representatives who demanded an
inquiry into the Florida recount. This year, let's
make our Senators take a stand!
The following seven Senators are some of the most
progressive members of the Senate. Please call them
immediately, and urge them to defend democracy on
January 6.
*SPREAD THE WORD TO PEOPLE YOU KNOW TO KEEP DOING THE
SAME UNTIL JANUARY 6.*

SENATORS' OFFICES IN YOUR OWN COMMUNITIES

real reforms to extend and protect democracy in
America. Please join us on January 6 in Washington,
DC. Details on the DC protest TBA. Check
