Another walk down the January 6th memory lane
For another walk down memory lane:

2/5/05: VIDEO: America's Illegitimate Election 2004
Never forget what happened on November 2nd, 2004... Here's a video to help...

Go here to watch: http://www.velvetrevolution.us/#020505





We've updated the short video compiled by a few Velvet Revolutionaries from Democratic Underground.

It is our hope that this video may serve as the definitive record of what happened in American during the 2004 Presidential Election. It documents -- in a few short minutes -- how your American right to a free, fair and transparent electoral system has been taken from you by the cynical and un-democratic powers-that-be.

This sort of thing should never happen in the world's most important democracy. And yet -- again in 2004 -- it did. Enough is enough.

It's time for the people to take both our country and our democracy back. If you still have any questions about that, please take a look at this video:

Go here to watch: http://www.velvetrevolution.us/#020505



Americans have died for the Right to Vote. November 2nd, 2004 will serve as a continuing reminder that we still have a long way to go in this country before every American has that right.


Please watch the video...And then pass this link...
http://www.VelvetRevolution.us#020505
...to everyone you know so they can remember (or learn) as well!

The mainstream media will not be doing it. Democracy in America is now up to you!

(Thanks to Dzika, Faye and all the patriotic and democracy-loving Velvet Revolutionaries of DemocraticUnderground.com for compiling this video to help us all remember!)

4. How do I get copies, I have dial-up
Edited on Sat Jan-07-06 12:25 PM by MissWaverly
I want 2 copies, 1 for myself, and 1 to send to my senator when the Dems get back into
power to put into the congressional record, this should be part of the official history
of our country. Great job! Am giving a kick to the Greatest Page.

:-)

21. Yes, thanks for posting it.
I remember the "flower drive" yet had never seen a photo of the results.

Why do I find it sort of desturbing? I guess it is all the raised hopes after
all the numerous scandels, thinking, "boy this time we will get them out of power" but
yet nothing gets a lot traction...all then all people who said "it is a gradual
thing...be patient."

But look - the courts are all most a gonner now, with all those resess apts...how are we to hope?

22. My Memory Lane with Andy Stephenson -- January 6th, 2005
(For those who couldn't get to the memorial service, this was my contribution to the "open mike" portion.)

Sometimes you find yourself in the right place at the right time. I think many of us consider meeting Andy to have been one of those times.

One time I know I was in the right place at the right time was on January 6th, when I found myself standing at the reception desk of Senator Barbara Boxer's office just as the first photocopies of her letter to Stephanie Tubbs-Jones were being distributed confirming that she would stand and object to the unlawful Ohio electors.

Needless to say I was elated. I did a quick "gimme, gimme" for a copy of the letter and for a Senate Chamber Pass the aide was also offering (only for a souvenir, as I knew I'd be with the "troops" rallying rather than in the chamber).

But it was also standing in the office at that time that I first saw Andy Stephenson. He was across the reception room talking with some other people and though I'd probably passed him in the halls of the Russell Senate building a few times, this was when I first connected name and face.

Now there's no way I can prove this, but it has since occurred to me that it may well have been Andy Himself that Senator Boxer just couldn't say no to.

In any case, it's a memory I cherish.
