The CASE Ohio election reformers will also be there...this seems like some replay of the 1960's...indeed, if the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were enforced Ohio Secretary of State Blackwell could go to jail! Let him share a cell with some member the "jail generation" locked up on some petty hypocritical drug charge! He'll hear the "voices of the disenfranchised" allright.

1. Rallies across California Jan. 3 at Noon

Senator Boxer: Stand Up for Democracy on January 6

Rallies across California at Sen. Boxer's field offices MONDAY, JAN. 3 at noon


Calling California Democrats:

Despite documented evidence of egregious voter suppression, unauditable "blackbox" vote counts defying the exit polls, and illegal obstruction
of the Ohio recount, the Ohio slate of electors are about to be counted in Congress, handing the presidency to George Bush in a second stolen election.

Now is the time to stand up for our Democracy if ever there was one.

Today (12/30) Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) has announced he and other members of the House will stand in opposition to the electors from Ohio
when Congress convenes January 6 to count the Electoral College and determine the presidential election results.
For a news link to John Conyers' letter to all Senators and Congressmembers requesting a debate of the Ohio election results, click here:

By law, members of the House need one Senator to stand with them to challenge. Don't let this be a repeat of the stolen election of 2004
when not one Senator would answer the call to oppose the illegitimate electors of Florida.

Join the "We need one Senator" campaign by organizing a press conference or rally at the office of Senator Barbara Boxer in your area. (See Locations below)

Rallies are being planned in San Francisco and other cities at noon on Monday 1/3 in conjunction with the Ohio rally,
"We The People Demand Democracy: Count Every Vote, Every Vote Counts," hosted by a coalition led by Rev. Jesse Jackson which includes:

Rainbow Push, MoveOn.org, Cobb/LaMarch Green Party campaign, Progressive Democrats of America, United for Peace and Justice, Code Pink, ReDefeatBush, Silicon Valley Dean Democrats, Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club, Defend the Commons, and numerous other organizations.

Congressmembers Rep. Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters have been contacted to launch the day with morning press conferences in their respective cities. We will keep you informed of these events as they develop.

Monday morning, January 3 will launch a week of actions culminating in Washington DC before the actual vote count at 1:00 pm.
