Hi Mike,
I get over to DU once a day generally, but can’t keep up with it all. Dennis has issued two statements in support of the recount. The first was published in Common Dreams:
http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1110-31.htm Our techie in Cleveland, Turo Dexter, is also one of the recount volunteer coordinators and a number of other people from the campaign are working on the recount and keeping Dennis up to date on what they are learning first hand.
As you know, he has warned about electronic voting all along. He was warning about electronic voting without paper trails when no one else would talk about it:
http://www.kucinich.us/issues/e_voting.php We can’t put new material on the website until the transfer from Presidential campaign to the re-elect committee is finalized, but we try to keep each other caught up through our forums.
http://www.kucinich.us/phpBB2/ Dennis has been speaking out about Kyoto, the UN and other things as well; we keep it all on the forums.
Pardon the brevity of this note, but I am trying to get some things finished up so I can leave for Texas on Monday for a couple of weeks of holiday traveling. I will be working some, but not much.
Hope this helps some.
Best regards,
Claudia

Hello again Claudia,
I haven’t written in a while but I have been paying attention and writing on the DU. I have also been spreading the word the best way I can. I have been talking to people and letting them know what’s going on. So many people have no idea that any of this is going on. It’s a very bizarre time. It’s so hard to stay on top of the sea of information that is flooding this country. I believe the dam will break soon. There are so many people screaming about this. It sometimes seems like the whole world has been watching as we few struggle in the darkness to light a spark. Things are really flickering now. So I have sent a letter to the FBI requesting their involvement in the election fraud. I sent them a bundle of information and gave them a good pep talk. I expect they’ll be coming to investigate real soon. I don’t think Rep. Conyers has as much clout as I do but I understand he sent one as well. Every little bit helps I guess.
In a discussion on DU a person attacked Mr. Kucinich. I began to refute the post but I wanted to get my facts straight. I also was curious as to Mr. Kucinich’s level of participation in this recount. I have seen very little media coverage of him but that’s really no surprise. All the ballots in Ohio could spontaneously combust in a freezer and there’d be about as much media coverage. I was hoping to get an update from you so I can let people know the truth.
I also wanted to wish you and all the fine folks I have spoken to at Rep. Kucinich’s office, a Merry Christmas. I hope this holiday brings blessings on you and your families.
Sincerely,
Michael Lewis
