Here's my letter:

Dear Senator Hutchison:
As your constituent, I am requesting that you please stand up with John Conyers and other Representatives to contest Ohio's electoral votes tomorrow.

Ohio's election was flawed and its citizens were disenfranchised. Nobody should have to wait ten hours to vote, as many Ohio citizens did. Secretary of State Blackwell has led the way with his maneuverings, starting back before the election when he tried to refuse voter registration forms because they were not printed on the correct weight of paper.

Refusing Ohio's electoral votes will not change the outcome of the election. But it will powerfully demonstrate that you support our citizens' right to vote. That you support a thorough investigation into the problems in our electoral process, and are committed to our right to vote.

As Rev. Jesse Jackson said, “If America is to be a champion of democracy abroad, it must clean up its elections at home. If it is to complain of fraudulent and dishonest election practices abroad, it cannot condone them at home. But more important, if our own elections are to be legitimate, then they must be honest, open, with high national standards.”

This is not a partisan issue. This is an American issue.

Thank you,

1. Doing it right now!

I contacted every dem in the Senate via e-mail/webform last night. I didn't bother with the repugs, didn't figure it would do any good.

[crispini]

2. Rumor says Chafee's thinking about it too.

So you might wanna give him a shout. the first two I contacted were Repugs, go figure. :shrug:

[Not_Giving_Up]

3. I find it really hard to believe that a repug would go against

the grain. I could be wrong (Shoot, I hope I am!), but I killed myself last night shouting out to all of the Dems.

[crispini]

4. Hey, Chafee's the one that refused to endorse Shrub!

So I figured he was worth a shot. :shrug:

5. Nice letter, crispini...

If you don't mind, I'll creatively plagiarize it and send it to our two clowns plus some moderate Republicans like Olympia Snowe.

:thumbsup: :yourock:

[crispini]

6. Please do!

Be my guest! And thanks! :)

10. Here's my version...

Dear Senator Hutchison:

As one of your constituents, I respectfully request that you and Senator Cornyn join Representative John Conyers and other Representatives tomorrow to contest Ohio's electoral votes.

Ohio's election was flawed at best, and many of its citizens were effectively disenfranchised (some Ohio citizens reported waiting ten hours to vote).

The elections process under Secretary of State Blackwell is rife with conflicts of interest - as a campaign official for the Bush-Cheney campaign he should have recused himself from ANY involvement in the voting.
His attempt to disqualify voter registration forms because they were not printed on the correct weight of paper is a prime example of his lack of objectivity.

Refusing Ohio's electoral votes will not change the outcome of the election. But it will powerfully demonstrate that you support our citizens' right to vote. That you support a thorough investigation into the problems in our electoral process, and are committed to our right to vote.

This is not a partisan issue. This is an American issue.

Thank you,

[crispini]

11. Very nice!

7. Have you written to her before?

I'll write to her, but she is a worthless GOP b----

I've written MANY letters to her (in fact, I have a social security privitazation response in my hands now). She is a total brainless GOP robot! She cares nothing about her constituents!!! Has no spine or desire to do anything right for the good of the people at all!

We'll all get the same scripted garbage supporting what we oppose everytime. I doubt this time will be any different, but worth a try.

As a female myself, I find the likes of her disgusting to see a female with her opportunity to do something "right" having no spine or care for the good of her constituents at all!

She's be as bad or worse than Bush if governor too!

[crispini]

8. Oh, I write to her all the time and I always get the same old crap back.

Cornyn is WORSE. But hey, it's worth a try. :shrug: Maybe she will grow a pair.

[jandrok]

9. I'll write and include Cornyn as well.....

Good letter. Mine will be similar.

[ChicanoPwr]

12. I wrote her

I also paid for Western Union to hand deliever it. If she reads it great if not go figure. I refuse to send it to Delay's partner in crime.

13. Take a look.

It was a very good letter, I did not want change a thing and it is now posted on the web.
