IF ReckLess Regard, Haste, Blind Eyes Callously Accept Illegal
Votes, Then Senators have Sanctioned Rank Criminality and DOOM the
Western Jurisprudence Tradition to a Dark and Dreadful VOID.

IN Bush V Gore 2000 Justice Breyer's reading of the law gives a convincing argument for Senators, Duty Bound by their Oath of office, to Object to Illegal Votes. Public servants must be committed to defend and protect All citizen's rights, well-being and promises to live withIn and Uphold Constitutional Law. We expect and deserve Open and Fair Due-process respecting equal justice under the law, absolutely crucial with wide disparities of wealth in this country too willing to dominate with undue influence. Justice Breyer, "The legislative history of the Act makes clear its intent to commit
the power to resolve such disputes to Congress, rather than the
courts: "The two Houses are, by the Constitution, authorized to
make the count of electoral votes.
They can only count legal votes, and in doing so must determine,
from the best evidence to be had, what are legal votes .... The
power to determine rests with the two Houses, and there is no other
constitutional tribunal." Doesn't this read, there is no requirement of evidence, of which there is an awesome abundance, but only the requirement of a compelling argument? IS Not the refusal to open log books, resistance to rationally consider the data, anomolies, honest, good-faith efforts to weigh the evidence, obstruction of recounts, ducking of subpoenas, unexalted dismissal of court cases on technicalities- fearing merit, covering up by the partisan CorpMedia by avoidance, attack pieces AND election officials hiding by refusing to answer citizen and congressional inquiry's, IN and Of ITSELF the Trashing of Due-process? and ample cause for dubious suspicion of motives and reasonable doubt, AND if NOT SEEN, then we might mistakenly tread into uncharted legal no-mans-land from which without a proper, learned, careful debate NOW, MayBe very difficult to extract our selves from, as more AmeriCANs continue to awake and do their HomeWork & stand to SAVE everything that matters to live with & under a banner of True Freedom for ALL! The Media is proving too arrogant and powerful to police itself or adhere to Public ethics & journalistic standards. They helped sell a war sentencing the military to a dubious, disastrous deadly conflagaration. Now as a result we had expected and are ready for with Election2004, moves on in the process, they are aiding in an orchestrated state secret, the cover-up of Democracy being Deliberately forsaken and currently bleeding to death with out listening to the doctors, calling the police or honoring The public's concern and common voice. Do Not try to buy The Vote!
Our VOTE is NOT For Sale! PROSECUTE the Media for selling a NO Due-Process climate.
We are speaking for Ideals and Future Generations, please listen and answer and heed this Clarion Call, we are looking you right in the eye on January 6th, search deep and do your best we will decide if you were right and honest, bear notice.
WithOut Due-Process. Inaugaration is VOID. We Have Had ENOUGH of Living With and Under LIES! Let US help Clean House.

1)this MasterFull essay does a lexis-nexis search on - election fraud-
and finds 1000 on Ukraine and 177 on Ohio, of which all but 10 were
DISmissive.



January 3, 2005 -- The Cleveland Federation of Labor is sending
busloads of demonstrators to a rally in Columbus, Ohio, today to take
part in a protest of election fraud in the 2004 presidential election.
As detailed below, there is strong evidence of vote theft in Ohio. But
to anyone who gets their news from a television or from most print
media, these protesters are kidding themselves or kidding the rest of
us, but certainly they are not onto anything worthy of investigation.
Last week I received this Email from the Columbus Dispatch:



"Dear Mr. Swanson:

"You say the rally is to protest the fraud that took place in the
election. Where did this fraud occur? Who did it? How did they do it?

"Thanx,

"glenn sheller, editorial page editor"



Two months after the election, an editor at ground zero was (seriously
or sarcastically) asking a stranger and an amateur to tell him from
Washington where the fraud had occurred. I immediately sent him a
reply.1 And I didn't hear anything further.



(Dave's reply)

1 Glenn Sheller,

If you're serious, I'm very glad you asked.

To get started, I would recommend reading the Ohio section of this report

http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/dfiles/file_477.pdf

and the following letters from Congressman John Conyers of Michigan to

Triad, to Sec. of State Blackwell, and to prosecutors:

and this article by the director of the National Voting Rights Institute:

http://ilcaonline.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=

Would you like me to ask PFAW and NVRI and Conyers' office to send you press

releases in the future? Can I get you any additional information or put you

in touch with any of the organizations involved?

If the above does NOT look to you like reasonable cause to follow the GAO's

advice and investigate, please let me know what level of breakdown and

corruption would interest you.

You know, there are a lot of wacky theories out there, but there are always

dead-ends in a trial and error investigation, especially one done by

grassroots activists without assistance from professional journalists. And

there is so much distrust, that the insane can begin to look plausible. But

the serious evidence of wrongdoing here has mounted so high, that a

continued refusal to acknowledge it will only increase public skepticism and

distrust. Next time around will be worse. Protecting democracy requires

eternal vigilance, and part of eternity is this moment right here. Don't

worry about who you think won or who conceded. That's two people. Worry

about the thousands who tried to vote and had their votes not counted.

Think from their point of view and you'll be on track, in my opinion.

Best,

David Swanson

What about actual coverage of what the "theories" are about and what in
them is solidly proven, what's speculative, what's disproved? Any of
that? Wouldn't a conspiracy theory go away more quickly if you refuted
it than if you avoided it and called it names? Hasn't over half the
country stopped believing in the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq()
after only minimal discussion of the evidence and acknowledgement by
the media that there weren't any weapons there?

1a)"Crime of November 2": The human side of how Bush stole Ohio, and why Congress must investigate



1/5/2005

The Free Press

by Bob Fitrakis, Steve Rosenfeld and Harvey Wasserman

(snippet)



The right-wing media assault on those who would mount this challenge
has been withering. The Ohio Republican Party says Rep. Tubbs-Jones
will "make a fool of herself" if she supports the effort. GOP
functionaries have filled the major media with charges of "conspiracy
theories" and "irresponsibility" among those who would question the
vote.



But all Americans committed to real democracy must stand in awe of this challenge.



It's more than ironic that this unelected administration has portrayed
itself as a defender of democracy in helping overturn an election in
Ukraine based on discrepancies between exit polls and a fraudulent vote
count. Doing the same here would deny George W. Bush the White House.



It's also ironic that an apparently defeated Republican candidate for
governor in the state of Washington is now calling for a revote to
overturn a recount. We support that demand, and ask the same for Ohio.



It's beyond tragic that this administration is now shedding untold
quantities of blood in Iraq in the name of a democracy that is being
denied here.

1b) Statement Of John C. Bonifaz Before The Rally For The Republic, Faneuil Hall, Boston

1/3/2005

General Counsel for the National Voting Rights Institute

(snippet)



Four years ago last month, the United States Supreme Court stopped the
vote counting in the State of Florida and, for the first time, selected
the president of the United States. It marked a dark moment in our
nation's history.

Since that time, people throughout this country committed to the vision
of democracy pledged to never let it happen again, never again would we
allow an individual to assume the power of the presidency without the
proper counting of all the votes. We are here tonight because we are
dangerously close to allowing it to happen again. We are here tonight
because we refuse to be silent.



On December 13, 2004, in the state capitol of Ohio, we witnessed a
crime, a crime against democracy, a crime against the right to vote, a
crime against our Constitution. On that day, Ohio Secretary of State J.
Kenneth Blackwell presided over a meeting over a group of individuals
who claimed to have won the right to serve as presidential electors for
the State of Ohio in the Electoral College. Mr. Blackwell and that
group gathered while a recount began of the votes cast in Ohio for
President of the United States.



Mr. Blackwell has done everything in his power to push through a slate
of electors based on an untested, initial count. In enacting its
recount law, the Ohio legislature ensured that a proper counting of all
the votes could include a recount. As candidates for the office of
President of the United States, David Cobb and Michael Badnarik
exercised their right under the law and sought a recount.



Mr. Blackwell had no right to convene a meeting of the Electoral
College in Ohio while a recount was underway. And individuals who ran
as candidates for presidential electors had no right to cast votes in
the Electoral College in Ohio while a recount was underway.

1c) Judiciary Cmte. Report Clearly

Questioning Bush Reelection

(snippet)



A status report of the House Judiciary Committee investigating the U.S.
presidential election, has questioned the certainty of the reelection
of president George Bush, based on irregularities in the Ohio contest.



Citing recent election controversy in Washington State and in the
"apparent defeat of the opposition leader Victor Yushchenko" in the
Ukraine, the report says these contexts show that elections "...are
subject to manipulation and mistake."

1d)Re-Vote Ohio! by Ted Glick

(snippet)
Our next
governor should enter office without any doubt about the legitimacy of
his or her office. The people of Washington deserve to know that their
governor was elected fair and square. Unfortunately, the events of the
past few weeks now make it impossible for you or me to take office on
January 12 without being shrouded in suspicion.



-Dino Rossi, Republican candidate for Governor of Washington, in open
letter to Democratic candidate Christine Gregoire Rossi�s argument is
equally applicable to the Presidential election. Following an extremely
flawed and probably illegal �recount� in Ohio, no one can say for sure
who won that state�s 20 Electoral College votes, and these 20 votes are
necessary for either George Bush or John Kerry to claim a victory in
the 2004 election.



Most importantly, however, the Ohio recount has led us to a conclusion
that should be obvious to fair-minded people of any political party:



no one can claim victory in a contest when the score-keeping system was broken.

2)How to use these Talking Points

This document is available in HTML, PDF, or MS Word format at http://jan6points.org.



This document is intended to assist you in arguing that it is a moral
imperative for all Members of Congress to take a stand and object to
the presidential electors from Ohio, Florida, and other states. It is
prepared for citizen-lobbyist who will have face-to-face meetings (most
likely with staff members) to convey their concerns and those of
millions of others.



We have found that there is no sufficient substitute for in-person
dialog, which allows you to directly contradict the many
rationalizations and excuses given for inaction, particularly regarding
this matter.



We recommend that you internalize the content in these talking points
as best you can, as it is difficult to control a conversation or
anticipate which specific topics will be most useful in your case.



We have found that the most effective tactic is to engage the meeting
participant in a back and forth exchange -- starting with eliciting
their concerns. Ask them directly why their boss has not already joined
with those like Rev. Jackson and Rep. Conyers. Should they not be
forthcoming, you can interject some of the rationalizations below by
saying "others have claimed that..."



The points are categorized as Informational, Argumentative, or
Political/Strategic but this arrangement connotes no hierarchy of
importance or effectiveness. Every situation is unique and you may have
the opportunity to use many or few of these points in your effort.



For questions, comments, or more help just contact us at thedeanpeople (at) comcast.net



Informational Points -- to satisfy queries and combat honest ignorance



� An election is not a contest -- it is a survey -- an effort to measure an objective reality. (See Note2 below)


Elections are intended to measure the will of the people, not the
will of the candidates; therefore, it does not matter if a candidate
has conceded.


It is the affirmative DUTY of each and every Member of Congress to
personally judge the validity of presidential electors based on any
information they have at hand. Yes, they apparently need to be told
this. (See Note1 below)


Each Senator/Rep is Constitutionally charged with the burden of
being the backstop or safety valve for an election procedure that has
rendered an invalid result


States have no "right" to have electoral votes counted and many
slates of electors have been disallowed in the past -- particularly
after the Civil War


The Voting Rights Act makes it unlawful for minorities to receive
disparate treatment by any election process -- no willful or negligent
act need be found to have occurred -- a disparate circumstance or
result is sufficient for violation.



In 2001 the US Commission on Civil Rights made a legal finding of just
such a violation in regard to the Florida election - undisputed
evidence of poll-tax-lines and registration process violations makes
clear that there has not been a correction of this finding


If a state's election laws includes a contest provision, that
state's election is not lawfully completed unless and until such
contests have been disposed of judicially



Argumentative Points -- to counter unfounded rationalizations, excuses, and fears



What is being asked of the official is a simple question:



"Are hours-long poll-tax-lines for poor minority voters and none for
affluent white voters a tolerable condition for you personally?"



Yes, strong stuff. But necessary stuff if we're going to secure our right to have confidence in free and fair elections.



No unlawful election process can lawfully certify electors



Objecting is the best action they can take to advance the general cause of "Election Reform"



Objecting to electors, successfully or not, creates a "consequence" for the failures of the system.



A traffic light rarely gets built until someone is killed or injured.
Only after 9/11 did Congress seriously address anti-terrorism.



The same is true here and an objection makes it clear to citizens in
every state that they must enact reforms and make the investments
necessary their state may be denied the privilege of participating in
the Electoral College.



We The People, through our representatives, have set out our election laws to ensure that election results reflect OUR will



Our law is intended to serve our will, not thwart it. We can never
again allow "technical" or "legal" arguments and rationalizations to
trump reality as we did in 2000.



When the results of an election are in doubt, the moral burden is on the states to prove the results to be sound.



The People have an inalienable right to full confidence in the results.

HOW DARE THEE? Democracy IS Deliberately Criminally, Hastily being

OutRageous that, Insidiously it is AN OFFICIAL State-Secret! The powers
that be have coldly calculated that America and Americans will lie to
themselves, tell themselves lies and Live with a Lie. For the most part
they may be right, many are physically & emotionally energy-sapped,
distracted, conTrolled, apathetic, demoralized and even Zombified. Many
millions though, are ascending to that MounTain Top where the view is
so grand, omnicient and the scent wafting from the grounds of our
election system, smells FOUL with falseness, fraud and an unholy
alliance of corporations, judges and elected? officials AND money
twisting, unsportsmanlike a process requiring fairness, transparency,
integrity into an abomination- a crime syndicate having undue control
of the Public and Human right to Vote. The basic Way to petition Our
Servant, elected governments, for a redress of grievances. This Liberty

on Democracy. We will NOT or canNot Live with a comfortable, despicable

media is acting much like an agressive interrogater, enforcer- foisting
a fraudulent, sham election onto the MassPsyche, and to caring,
FreeThinkers & justified Vote Defenders, akin to Psychological
torture. First they tell us that it is the most important election

in our lifetime, then Andrew Card nervously, unilaterally calls the

election, in lieu of earned merit, for his boss. The media

doesn't study it, analyize it, or do their job and in a concerted campaign,

echo in unison-GET OVER IT. (remember Hussein capture? newspapers,
