The dem "leadership" needs to lead, follow or get the hell out of the way. Stand up and be heard now, or I'll remember it for a long time. The "Sorry Everybody" site has finally calmed down enough that you can look at the photos. A lot of people from around the world sending us their condolences, it's really nice. 72.3.131.10

I e-mailed the Kucinich site. Man, I want a recount in Ohio. Just in Ohio. Then I'd feel better.

Hi Harry, Thank you for writing. The action that we need now must come from the people. Each of us must stand up and stay involved. Here is one example from our Volunteers for Change Discussion Forums: kucinich.us Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2004 6:55 pm Post subject: Call for public hearings to investigate November 2nd Votes Friends, Community Leaders, Journalists, and Elections experts, The League of Pissed Off Voters and the Ohio Citizens Alliance for Secure Elections (CASE-OH) are calling for public hearings to investigate November 2nd voting irregularities and voter suppression in Ohio. Local citizens are asking for statewide and national support to hold these hearings Friday 11/12 and Saturday 11/13 in Columbus, OH. We want to hear testimony from voters throughout the state who experienced or witnessed voter disenfranchisement, voter intimidation, or instances of systematic voter suppression. We hope to expose the systemic undermining of our democratic process and assess how to respond to racial disenfranchisement and suppression of voters. John Kerry may have conceded this election, but we will not concede our right to a fair and equitable democratic process. This is a preliminary call for support to you and other leaders who can help make the first crucial steps happen. What we are doing now: 1) Building a coalition that, we hope, will expand to national organizations such as the NAACP, MoveOn, and Election Protection Coalition; 2) Working to secure a room in the Ohio Statehouse or the Franklin County Board of Elections for next Friday and Saturday; 3) Raising money to bring in experts such as Lynn Landes (“In These Times”), Bev Harris (www.blackboxvoting.org), Greg Palast, and others; and 4) Getting announcements out to the community to gather those who can offer public testimony regarding their experiences at the polls. What you can do: 1) Email or call us to let us know that you and/or your organization will be a part of the coalition to sponsor this public hearing, and that you’ll spread the word through your networks; and 2) Contribute to the fund to bring in key speakers/experts for the public hearing, as well as to cover costs for reserving rooms, hiring stenographers to transcribe the hearings, etc. Here are a few articles on the types of voter suppression/disenfranchisement that we are hoping to expose: Kerry Won.
