An Urgent Message From A Longtime Contributor, Ken Reiner

Happy Holidays to each and every one of my many friends throughout the world. This is a time for reflection, to spend with friends and family and get ready for the New Year's challenges. Here in America we have one tremendous challenge that stands above all others. To do, like the Ukrainians did, set a false election aside and demand a new honest one where all votes will be visible and counted. Here, like in the Ukraine, the people voted one way but the votes were counted in another way. The people said "No" to four more years of Bush but his corporate, big business, warmongering supporters faked the election and are trying to claim he won, which he certainly did not as all exit polls the day of the election proved. We in America have three weeks from today to demand, and get a new, honest, verifiable election. Can we do it? I think we can, and will.

Below is a letter I'm sending to one hundred non-profit organizations who represent the best of America's thinkers and doers. I'm asking them to be the Paul Reveres of this country and save us from the corporations now in control attempting to turn America into the largest, most powerful fascist nation the world has ever experienced. The American people don't want that. They abhor it and won't stand for it. I urge each of you to spread this letter as far and as wide as you can. It is a matter of life and death. The life of a democracy that began the 4th of July 1776 but which will die on January 20th 2005 unless we demand and achieve a new, honest election before that date.

Happy Holidays
Ken

Dear Friends,

I have contributed financially to your group for many years, for I recognize the value of your efforts to create a better world. Now I am asking for your immediate help and support to avoid an imminent crisis facing us all.

America faces an apocalyptic moment. On November 2nd, at least thirty three million Americans (John Conyers estimates more than half of all who voted) lost their right to vote; their votes are indeterminate since they cannot be verified by hand count! This is an amazing and historically disastrous fact! Most of us were forced to vote on computers lacking paper evidence of who we voted for. Can any election be more than a sham under such a condition? Even worse, our votes could have been secretly and invisibly changed to favor George Bush or other Republican congressional candidates by the Republican owned business entities that secretly counted them. And all this after publicly promising their Republican associates they'd win! The bottom line: we really cannot know which Congressman, Senator or President was actually elected on November 2, for the vote-counting was able to be secretly and privately manipulated and then blocked from audit because there were no paper trails required. Thus, the entire national election of November 2 was fundamentally and uncorrectably flawed!

Equally alarming, most people in our country still have no idea their votes were able to be easily changed to make it appear that Bush won the presidency. Thousands of instances show this to have happened, first in Ohio where a recount of those votes that can be hand recounted is being blocked by a Republican Secretary of State (who is chair of Bush's election committee; shades of Florida's Katherine Harris) yet even eight weeks after November 2, the American public is not aware of the fraud of this election. It's become the greatest secret since the one, years ago kept at Alamogordo.
