Three Rallies Around the Country on Monday

THREE RALLIES AROUND THE COUNTRY ON MONDAY, JAN. 3rd

US Representative John Conyers of Michigan has been spearheading an investigation into oddities of the presidential election in Ohio. With citizen hearings, affidavits, and research, more oddities have surfaced almost each day. Conyers has announced that he will challenge the electoral college vote in Congress on Jan. 6th.

You may recall that in 2000, some US Representatives challenged the election, but no Senator would stand with them, as was shown in the movie Fahrenheit 9-11. Now, four years later, no Senator has pledged to contest the 2004 election, but Senators around the country are receiving tens of thousands of citizen contacts urging them to do so.

Rallies are scheduled in Columbus Ohio, Boston, and San Francisco on Monday to protest the flawed presidential election.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

COLUMBUS OHIO
In Columbus, perhaps Ground Zero for 2004 presidential election anomalies, there is a Pro-Democracy Rally with Reverend Jesse Jackson. The rally demands:

• That all the Ohio votes be counted
• That all voting irregularities be investigated
• That Ohio electors not be seated until we have an accurate final count

BOSTON
Monday evening in Boston at historic Faneuil Hall, there will be a citizen rally to

Call on Congress to Stand Up & Be Counted For Equal Voting Rights on January 6!

The rally will ask members of Congress NOT to certify the electoral votes of states where election results are still in question. Mounting evidence of voter suppression and vote tampering has emerged from Ohio, Florida, New Mexico and other states.
Perhaps a dozen members of the House of Representatives plan a challenge in the Joint Session of the U.S. Congress on January 6, 2005. At least one Senator must challenge or the challenge does not reach the necessary minimum.

Among the speakers will be John Bonifaz - General Counsel of the National Voting Rights Institute and Co-counsel for the Green and Libertarian Presidential Candidates, David Cobb and Michael Badnarik, in their demand for a meaningful Ohio recount

Sponsored by the Coalition Against Election Fraud, www.caef.us.

The same group is sponsoring a mid-day vigil each day in front of Senator John Kerry's house in Beacon Hill in Boston, urging him to contest the election.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SAN FRANCISCO
The protest in San Francisco will be in front of Senator Barbara Boxer's office in San Francisco. A delegation representing signatories and concerned voters will hand deliver the thousands of petitions directly to Boxer's staff during an arranged meeting noon Monday while participants outside listen to evidence of voter irregularities from leaders and activists.

Speakers will include Dolores Huerta, the co-founder of United Farm Workers Union, Margot Smith of the Grey Panthers, Max Anderson from the Berkeley City Council.

The purpose of the gathering is to encourage Senator Boxer to stand up on January 6 to officially challenge the presidential election.

ORANGE ALERT
All over the country, the group Voters Unite is encouraging people to adopt the color ORANGE to signify a protest against flawed or fraudulent elections, and to demand clean, verifiable elections.

This kind of Orange Alert asserts that the ongoing investigation of the presidential election in Ohio and elsewhere has raised serious questions that have not been answered, that the mainstream media have been mostly ignoring these questions and citizens' attempts to get answers, and that elected and law enforcement officials should be helping these efforts, not hindering them.

Voters Unite suggests citizens wear orange ribbons, tie them on their car antenna, tie them around trees in their yard. And, print up flyers informing others of the news that is not reaching them via mainstream media.

3. Orange Is My Favorite Color

My high school's team colors were black and orange. I've loved orange since then. It's been my favorite color since 1985. Now it's my double favorite!
