DISENFRANCHISED OHIO VOTERS MOBILIZING FOR HISTORIC CIVIL RIGHTS, PRO-DEMOCRACY PROTEST BUS TRIP FROM COLUMBUS TO WASHINGTON, DC
Freedom Winter riders to confront legislators with personal tales of Jim Crow-like civil rights violations, voter intimidation and suppression suffered in Ohio on election day


U.S. (December 31, 2004) - National grassroots, pro-democracy organizations have joined in defense of fundamental democratic principles with massive rallies planned in both Columbus, Ohio on January 3 and in Washington, DC on January 6 to express concern and outrage over election day snafus which made it difficult, if not impossible, for many to vote in Ohio on November 2. Bridging these two events is the ‘Get Up On The Bus/Freedom Winter' campaign sponsored by We Do Not Concede. In a reprise of the Freedom Summer civil rights campaign of 1964, the disenfranchised voters of Ohio will board a bus and/or caravan to Washington, DC on the morning of January 5.

"Just as Rosa Parks made a stand by claiming her seat at the front of the bus over 40 years ago," says Columbus civic leader Rev. Bill Moss, "we're traveling to DC on board the Freedom Winter bus ride to make a stand for our constitutionally-protected right to vote that was denied so many of us in Ohio."

The Get Up On The Bus campaign seeks to lobby Congress for support of the petition to challenge Ohio's electors put before the joint session on January 6. Rep. Conyers, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, appealed to the Senate on December 30 urging them to "debate and highlight the problems in Ohio which disenfranchised innumerable voters."

"We want our political leaders to have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with the disenfranchised Ohio voters to hear directly from them what really happened on Election Day in urban districts in Ohio, and answer their request for equality and equal rights," says Kat L'Estrange, We Do Not Concede. "We're going to ask them directly to support Rep. Conyers and contest the Ohio vote."

We Do Not Concede is engaged in a major fundraising effort to help cover the costs of this unprecedented civil rights event to ensure all the riders can afford to go to Washington and have their voices heard. The goal is to raise $10,000 by January 3, 2005. To help with this effort, hip-hop artist, Wil B. has released a new single, "Get Up On The Bus," available online soon.

The bus will depart from Faith Ministries Church, 2747 Agler Road, Columbus, before dawn on January 5 arriving in Washington DC for a 1 o'clock press conference in the Zenger Room at the National Press Club, 529 14th St NW, 13th floor. After the press conference, the Ohio riders
will visit the Senate offices to tell their stories of disenfranchisement. The group plans to meet up with participants of the "Save Our Votes" March from Baltimore to Washington, DC at Cherry Hill Park the evening of January 5, and again on the morning of January 6 to march from Lafayette Park to the Defend Democracy Rally, Upper Senate Park at noon.

Organizations who support the Freedom Winter bus ride are encouraged to mobilize their members as quickly as possible to join in the caravan. Volunteers are welcome along every step of this history journey. Media inquires, please contact Zack Kaldveer, 510-938-2664.

Save Our Votes March

"From SELMA to WASHINGTON: 40 Years Marching For Our Voting Rights"

Today through Jan. 6th, 2005


Savage MD to Washington DC



Began Tuesday at 10AM, January 4th,
Arrives Thursday January 6th at the Rally to Defend Democracy at the Federal Capitol in Washington DC.


51capitalmarch is sponsoring Save Our Votes March, From Selma to Ohio to Washington a re-enactment the 1965 Selma to Montgomery March for voting rights. The following is a brief description of that march:

On "Bloody Sunday," March 7, 1965, some 600 civil rights marchers headed east out of Selma on U.S. Route 80. They got only as far as the Edmund Pettus Bridge six blocks away, where state and local lawmen attacked them with billy clubs and tear gas and drove them back into Selma. Two days later on March 9, Martin Luther King, Jr., led a "symbolic" march to the bridge. Then civil rights leaders sought court protection for a third, full-scale march from Selma to the state capitol in Montgomery." On Sunday, March 21, about 3,200 marchers set out for Montgomery, walking 12 miles a day and sleeping in fields. By the time they reached the capitol on Thursday, March 25, they were 25,000-strong. Less than five months after the last of the three marches, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. http://www.africanamericans.com/SelmaMarch.htm

The Rally: At 10 A.M. on Janaury 4th, there will be a "Save Our Votes Rally". This will be at the intersection of Route 32 and Route 1, Savage, Maryland (Just below Baltimore, Maryland).

Download Flyer

The March:

Day 1: March will commence immediately after the Rally. The march will begin outside Baltimore on January 4th at 10AM in Savage Maryland (intersection of Route 32 and Route 1). We will march down Route 1 to College Park.

Day 2: January 5th picks up the march at the intersection of Route 1 and Cherry Hill Road in College Park, at 10:00 A.M., and we march to Washington, D.C.

Day 3:January 6th. Begins at 10:30 a.m. at Lincoln Memorial. We march to Capitol Hill for 12:00 noon Defense of Democracy Rally and Vigil.

Cost: Day marchers, no charge. Multi-day marchers: $50 for camping, breakfasts, and dinners. (Bring sleeping bag and money for lunches and carfare on Metro.). Will follow Route 1, ending at the Federal Capitol in Washington DC for the Rally in Defense of Democracy on January 6th.

Wednesday, June 5th, 7:00 P.M.

Save our Votes Tent Revival. Cherry Hill Park campground. Donations appreciated.



Accommodations: We are going to stay in a heated tent at a beautiful campground right outside of DC. They have hot showers, meeting rooms and a cantina. It is Cherry Hill Park www.cherryhillpark.com. So people should be very comfortable. "


We need as many people as possible to join us the morning of the 6th and march the last 2 to 3 miles to the Upper Senate Park, where we will join the Defend Democracy Rally and Vigil on the west side of the Capital at 12:00 Noon.


Here are some details of the planned march:


We will provide a large heated event tent for the overnight campers, as well as other necessities. We welcome any and all marchers, you may march as little or as long as you would like. People may choose to march during the day and make their own arrangements at night, camping is not required to participate in the march. Even if you only march for one day or one hour, we need you to help us fight for our democracy.

If you can't join the march on January 4th and 5th, please join us on the morning of the 6th and march to the Capital and take part in the rally planned there. We need to show strength in our numbers to encourage our representatives to fully investigate this election and to fight for total election reform.


We hope this will grow to be a very large group by the time we reach the Capital, just as it did in 1965 in Montgomery. This re-enactment could be a spotlight on the sham of an election held on Nov 2nd, 2004.


Please see http://www.51capitalmarch.com/index.html for more details. We hope you can join us and make history! Details will be provided on the message board: http://www.51capitalmarch.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=marchonwashington

BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT, BUSH DID NOT WIN THE OHIO OR NATIONAL VOTE.

HISTORIC PRESIDENTIAL CHALLENGE.

PRESS CONFERENCE, NATIONAL PRESS CLUB, WASHINGTON, D.C.
WEDNESDAY,
JANUARY 5TH AT 2:00 PM


WHO:

Lead plaintiff, Moss v. Bush, Rev. Bill Moss

Lead trial counsel, Peter Peckarsky

Professor and statistical expert, Ron Baiman, Ph.D.

Publisher and lawyer, Bob Fitrakis

Lawyer, Susan Truitt

Exit polling expert, Jonathan Simon, JD

Senior editor, freepress.org. Harvey Wasserman

Legal statistician, Richard Hayes-Phillips, Ph.D

Director, Progressive Democrats of America, Tim Carpenter

NAACP, National Voter Fund, Greg Moore

Author Warren Linney, MA (The Patriot Test)

WHAT:


• Exit polls did not match the reported vote in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Florida and 7 of 8 other key battleground states

• Voting machines with secret software owned by private, partisan
companies subject to manipulation and which deprived citizens of their
right to fair and transparent elections

• Uncounted and provisional ballots negatively and disproportionately
affected African American voters

• Inexplicable vote disparities

• Voting Rights Act Violations

• Recount did not recount all the votes

• Challenge at January 6 Joint Session of Congress

WHY:


TO PROVIDE FULL BACKGROUND ON KEY ASSERTIONS PRIOR TO THE HISTORIC
CONGRESSIONAL CHALLENGE TO THE 2004 VOTE


PARTIAL LIST OF EVIDENCE:


There is clear and compelling evidence that the election was stolen. By
examining a very wide range of sworn testimonies from voters, polling
officials and others close to the administration of the Nov. 2
election; by statistical analysis of the certified vote by
mathematicians, election experts and independent research teams who
have conducted detailed studies of the results in Ohio, Florida,
Pennsylvania, and elsewhere; from experts who studied the voting
machines, tabulators and other electronic equipment on which a fair
vote count has depended; and from a team of attorneys and others who
have challenged the Ohio results; the freepress.org investigative team
has compiled a portrait of an election whose true outcome must be
investigated further by the Congress, the media and all Americans --
because it was almost certainly not an honest victory for George W.
Bush.

Crucial flaws in the national vote count, most importantly in the
national popular vote, and in Ohio and Florida indicate John Kerry was
the actual winner on November 2, as reported in national exit polls. At
the very least, the widespread tampering with how the election was
conducted, and how Ohio's votes were counted and re-counted, has
compromised this nation's historic commitment to free and fair
elections.

George W. Bush's ‘victory' appears to have resulted from multiple frauds
– a GOP ‘do-whatever it takes' strategy to win the state that swung the
election.

The questionable votes far exceed Bush's margin of victory in Ohio.

The Bush-Cheney ‘do what ever it takes" strategy in Ohio covered a very
wide range of tactics, from disenfranchisement of minority voters to
discarding of ballots to tampered tabulators and much more. Taken as a
whole, this compendium of error, fraud, cover-up and contempt indicates
that this was not a legitimate election, and is not worthy of being
certified by the Congress of the
United States.

Thirty disenfranchised voters on the Freedom Winter bus ride from
Columbus, Ohio to Washington, D.C. will be present to share their
voting horror stories with the media.

Rally for the Republic -- San Francisco, California -- Tonight!!

There WILL Be a Challenge of Electors in the Congress on January 6th that Needs YOUR Support

Come to Herbst Theater, San Francisco, Tuesday January 4th, 7:00 p.m. to Rally for the Republic!


Please Forward this Announcement


Washington, DC December 31, 2004: Yesterday Michigan Congressman John Conyers showed more of the tactical brilliance and moral leadership that have marked his illustrious 40-year Congressional career. Conyers is the second most senior Member of Congress, and throughout his tenure has shown clarity of thought and a willingness to act that puts him head and shoulders above most of his timid and hesitant colleagues. Conyers called for Nixon's impeachment in May of 1972, a month before the Watergate burglary, because he could see that Nixon's prosecution of the war in Vietnam and its expansion into other countries was illegal.


Yesterday Rep. Conyers released copies of his letter sent to each member of the Senate, announcing a Constitutional challenge to the electors from Ohio and asking the Senators to join him. Not only has Conyers established a reward for the first Senator to step foward, but he's started the clock on the construction of perhaps his most important coalition and given it enough time to grow to sizable proportions.

I have met and spoken many times in the past week with key Congressional staff from the offices of key Senators (Durbin, Jeffords) and Representatives (Conyers, Tubbs-Jones) and what follows is what I expect to see in the momentous week ahead of us.

But first let me say that this activity inside Congress must be met with a mobilization of public support or it will not succeed.


We need you to join us at the Herbst Theater on Tuesday 1/4 at 7:00 for an examination of this illegitimate election and a declaration of intent to reclaim our republic. Emily Levin, project coordinator for Richard Hayes Phillips' precinct-level analysis of Ohio voting anomalies, will describe findings entered as evidence in Moss v. Bush showing that Ohio's 20 electoral votes were won by John Kerry. In Linda Byrket's documentary Video the Vote you will witness the shameful voter suppression tactics deployed to deny predominantly African American communities of Ohio their right to vote. Researcher-analyst Warren Stewart will describe the mysteries of New Mexico's national record for undervotes and phantom voters that resulted in a 1% margin awarding the state's electors to Bush.
ReDefeat Bush founder David Lytel will provide an insightful preview of the crucial electoral contest starting just days from now.
We will have an abundance of factsheets and petitions to activate you and your Congressional representatives. And for levity to keep us sane, we've invited wards of the Ronald Reagan Home for the Criminally Insane to sell us on Verifyagra, the cure for electile dysfunction. We continue to add speakers and performers for this not-to-be-missed event. See RallyfortheRepublic.org. for updates.


Please join us Tuesday January 4 in Herbst Theater. We need you to stand up for democracy NOW, not after it is all over.
401 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco Civic Center. Map and directions. Admission is free, but our expense is major and we will be asking donations (suggested $5-$10).


What the coming week will bring: On Monday there will be a staff-level strategy session, and although I cannot promise our plan will be adopted or set in motion, what I foresee is that on Wednesday afternoon former Florida Congressman Peter Deutsch will present to an informal yet televised hearing on Capitol Hill his understanding of what happened in Florida. Deutsch is the ideal for this for his intellect and integrity and his standing with his former colleagues. He is taking an active role in studying the facts of the case and is being backed up by Wayne Madsen, an experienced analyst and investigator who previously worked for the National Security Agency, by Bev Harris and the team at Blackboxvoting.org, and by Clint Curtis, the Florida whistleblower who has exposed Congressman Tom Feeney's actions to rig Florida elections by changing the distribution of votes on electronic voting machines. I can tell you that we have the active collaboration of all of these people.


We are hoping that former Congressman Tom Sawyer, previously the third-ranking member of the House Democratic leadership, will present the facts on Ohio. He will be briefed and backed up by a host of people, including Washington election law attorney Cynthia Butler and Ohio attorney Steve Chaffin, both of whom have been engaged for this purpose. It is not clear yet who may present the facts of the case for NM, NV, or IN although I have approached former Senate candidate and White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles to talk to us about what happened in North Carolina.


At the end of the afternoon, in a scene meant to be evocative of the signing of the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, I would hope to see Members walk over to a table and sign the actual challenge that will be handed to Vice President Cheney who will be presiding over the joint session. This dramatic flourish for the cameras of C-SPAN and the foreign press -- you should expect Viacom (CBS), Disney (ABC), General Electric (NBC) and News Corp. (Fox) to remain resolute in their refusal to cover this news -- will lend symbolic dimension to our coalition. This is crucial because if we have about 8 Senators and about 50 Representatives by the time the sun comes up on 1/6 we have a shot at holding the Democratic caucuses of both the House and Senate united on the key challenges. That would make Nancy Pelosi our leader in the House and represent an achievement of historic proportions even before the session begins at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday 1/6.

The rules for a challenge come from the disputed election of 1876 but have never yet been used. There will be an alphabetical rollcall of the states, and if there are objections they must be in writing and signed by at least one member of each chamber, whereupon the House and Senate return to their respective houses and engage in a two-hour debate in which each Member may speak for no longer than 5 minutes. After both houses vote they return to joint session. If both houses agree, then the electors for that state are set aside. Then the joint session returns to the rollcall and to further objections, if there are any. The legislators may recess each night until the fifth day, when the rules say they must remain in continuous 24-hour session. If at the end of the process of counting electoral votes no one has a majority of the whole number of possible votes, then the House of Representatives gets to decide, with each state casting one vote. If that happens Bush gets reinaugurated since there are just too many of those underpopulated rectangular states in the middle of the country, even though half the country's population lives in states that voted for Kerry.


However, the longer the dispute goes on the better off we are for some truly dramatic change. If the contest enters a third day it should surely occur to 16 or so moderate Republicans in the House and 5 in the Senate that if they bargained with the Democrats they could control the U.S. government. While that is unlikely it is not implausible, since they are the most abused and underappreciated faction in the Congress and they have no greater tolerance for the brutal tactics of the Bush faction of the Republican Party than you do.

Please join us on Tuesday 1/4 at 7:00 at the Herbst Theater. Bring friends and questions and laughter since we will always need more of each of those things. Don't settle for symbolic victories until it is certain that you cannot have a real, substantive victory. And thanks to the leadership of John Conyers, if I can borrow the words of Pete Townsend, "the bids have all got longer overnight."


Help ReDefeat Bush Rally the Republic! (After all, who else would bring you an event like this?)
As you might expect, we're as hung out there on the edge financially as we are rhetorically, tactically, strategically and in every other way you can think of. But we believe in what we are doing and that you will reward us for being your advocate, emissary, and messenger in Washington. Here is a list of what we spend your money on so you can see where it goes. If you can contribute $5,000 or more please do so at the new Robert Morris Fund and if you have less than $5,000 you can contribute you can do that at the standard ReDefeatBush contribution page. Every dollar is worth a dollar, no matter how many you have to give. And if you are still not convinced we merit a financial contribution check out this list of 30 things we have done for you since election day when virtually every other national-level progressive group has disbanded or gone silent. If you want us to keep doing more of what we're doing, please contribute and we will put the money into the cause.
