What did Randi say about this Alliance site today?
http://thealliancefordemocracy.org

It does not say who formed it, just says it is non-partisan. I see Granny D there, but not much else. Hasn't been kept up really. I think Ronnie Dugger was a Kucinich supporter, wasn't he?

There are so many progressive groups now, I just want to be sure what they are for. I missed a lot of the show today. Did Randi give details on why?

1. She was touting it, but...
I really hope that there are efforts, behind the scenes, to develop a united front on this matter.

The time for that is here.

2. Sorting out where to donate -- a little help, see these links


FUNDING THE RECOUNTS -- See this before you donate
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=201x2617

UPDATE:

Right now, Nader has a check box under the donation amount on his contributions page to specify that your donation goes only to the recount. You can safely donate directly to him IF you check that box ... and we really need to show good faith by bringing some contributions in that way. Unfortunately, his General Counsel won't take contributions any other way because they haven't set up an official recount fund. They're using a separate bank account instead. It works, and the money is segregated from general campaign funds, but it brings in all kinds of FEC restrictions that wouldn't apply if they had set up a separate recount fund.

Nevertheless, to get NH recounted, we do need to get people to donate directly into the recount account there. Not much has come in because, let's face it, only Nader can get his own (non-Repub) donors to donate, and Dems have a very bad taste in their mouth about him. I hope you'll donate because this is OUR fight Nader is fronting here.

If you can't bring yourself to put your money in the Nader recount account, even though it's directly for the BBV cause, OR if you want to help fund the recounts in Ohio and Florida, PLEASE contribute to http://www.helpamericarecount.org .

Thanks, all.

3. Ah, Eloriel, you knew just want I meant. Thanks.
I am trying to figure out why Randi said this. Did she clarify what the group is doing?
