Wednesday, December 8th. FBI Rally. White Plains, NY.

12:00 noon. FBI office at 222 Bloomingdale Road in White Plains at the intersection of Mamaroneck Avenue.
Take a long lunch hour, bring the kids, bring grandma, grandpa and Aunt Agatha, change your plans, or do whatever else is necessary to be there. At this moment, there is a desperate need for publicity to support the work of people in Ohio who are gathering impressive evidence of widespread vote tampering and conspiracy to suppress the vote. Evidence of vote tampering has been given to the FBI in Ohio, but it is not clear that the agency is doing anything. This rally Friday has the full support and encouragement of people in Ohio because they feel that it is only through publicity and public pressure that there will be a recount there and an investigation by the FBI.It is essential that we get into the street at this time to show that we will not accept this election until there is a full investigation and recount. If you have time, please make a sign, example, "Investigate Vote Fraud Now". Do all possible to come on Friday. We really need numbers, over a hundred if at all possible. We must defend our rights at this moment. The opportunity to act on this will be very brief. Last Friday the FBI refused to "accept" the written complaint which we'd delivered; so we're coming back again. For information, please call Nick Mottern at (914) 806-6179.

SPECIAL NOTE:
Ohio is the single swing state in which there are major litigations and a recount pending, and enough electors to change the outcome of the presidential race. Thanks to the valiant fight going on in Ohio, the 2004 Election is not over.

Thousands of volunteers are needed in Ohio to assist the Green Party and the Libertarian Party with the Recount, and tens of thousands of demonstrators are needed to call the attention of the national media to the outrage that was committed there. So I urge everyone to stay focussed on Ohio.

Generalized activities geared to long range election reform, or 'anti-inaugurals' to blow off steam, are a luxury; specific actions, geared towards getting justice in Ohio NOW, are a necessity.

Although this calendar mentions events going on in other states, I urge everyone who is not in Ohio to make it his or her first priority to come to Ohio to participate in the protests and/or the Recount.

If you participate in events in other states, I strongly urge you to focus the attention of the event towards the very provable Ohio election crimes, and if you wish to contribute financially, please concentrate on the organizations that are doing important work on the ground in Ohio, such as C.A.S.E., the National Voting Rights Institute, and the Green Party Recount.


Sincerely yours,


R. B.
