Before the Ohio Election Fraud, this blog was entitled "Fairness". Since November 2, 2004, a day that will live in infamy, this blog has been devoted exclusively to fighting the crimes committed against the citizens of Ohio, and against our American way of life, in the 2004 "election".

Picketing in Front of Sec. Blackwell's Office. Columbus, OH.

props, etc. warm clothes and a tent if you have one or can borrow one.
We are prepared to picket and stay until we have a fair election. No
more stolen elections!!! Bring your chants and songs. We will tent
camp for freedom and fair elections. We are especially asking veterans
to come in uniform if possible, because we feel you have an elevated
status by having fought for freedom. Come by on your lunch hour or

Mainly we need many people to show up ready to stop Ken Blackwell from
stealing our election.

7:00 p.m. - 10:00

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 Wednesday
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 Wednesday. 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.
Wednesday, December 8. Hearing Conducted by Congressman Conyers.
Washington, D.C.
10:00 a.m. Rayburn House OFfice Building.

Forum on Election Fraud
"Votergate" Documentary and PowerPoint Presentation
How could the exit polls have been so wrong? Did tampering with
electronic voting machines and voter disenfranchisement swing the
election to Bush? Come learn more about these issues as we watch
"Votergate" and a PowerPoint presentation on election irregularities.
Votergate, an action documentary, follows a young team on their
nationwide investigation of the current problems with our voting
systems and elections procedures. Fast-paced and engaging, Votergate
reveals the shocking story of how touchscreen voting systems are
highly susceptible to hacking and how these systems are being
implemented across the country without the proper checks and balances
to insure accuracy and accountability
http://www.votergate.org/>http://www.votergate.org/
Following the half-hour documentary will be a PowerPoint presentation
on election irregularities and an action planning session.

Ukraine?

computer and vote security from Coloradoans for Voting Integrity
(http://cfvi.org) and speakers with

COMMENTS: Gather with us to send a loud, clear message to our fellow
citizen electors. Demand more of America! Demand a fair and accurate
count of every citizens vote! It is ludicrous to us, that our elected
Representatives in Washington dare to speak of unfair elections in
Ukraine when the elections of 2004 right here in America were so
obviously flawed with allegations of disenfranchisement stretching from
Coast to Coast. Do not let it be said that the citizens of America did
not fight for their Democracy! We must speak out NOW, while we are
still able. Join us!

THIS
CALENDAR IS FREQUENTLY UPDATED; IF YOU CAME TO THIS THROUGH A LINK FROM
AN EMAIL OR OTHER WEB SITE, BE SURE TO CHECK FOR MORE RECENT VERSION OF
CALENDAR
SPECIAL NOTE:
Ohio is the single swing state in which all of the following factors come together: (1) massive systematic voter suppression, (2) computer vote fraud, (3) major litigations pending, (4) a recount pending, and (5) 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 states other than Ohio, 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
support 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, and please give to DefendTheRecount.org.
Sincerely yours,
R. B.
