This is a great opportunity to make a potentially big impact before January 6.

I’ve been busy gathering contact info for the state electors from Wisconsin (which I am going to post on the Wisconsin board). Here is a link to find out who the electors are in your state:

In the process of researching on our state electors, I found this -
www.morningsedition.com/ archives/2004/11/wednesday_to_yo.html

...and a post from ‘Don’ who is working with MoveOn.org, to try to start a national appeal to our Electoral College to “save us from a stolen election”. He says, “Our Constitution (the closest thing to a perfect document we'll ever know) gives us the mechanism to deal with the outrage of a blatantly stolen election, only no one has yet had the guts and the opportunity to use it! The College has always been seen as an impediment to a true expression of the popular will here is the perfect and obvious way to make it work as it should work, as a counter-force against an arrogant, incompetent, fascistic and ruthless group of ideologues who would have us believe that, if they can steal it, God wants them to have it!!”

And further, “Here is where the wisdom of the Electoral College can shine through for the first time in our history. An unscrupulous state Attorney General can obstruct a re-count, and a doubtful, intimidated Supreme Court can indeed fail us as well. But a thoughtful, conscientious Electoral College can look upon all this and say, "Sorry, boys, not this time." And thereby make history.”

He gives a sample letter that was written to the Democratic Party and Electors, and invites us to use any part of it in communicating with newspapers, Electors, Congressional reps, etc.
