4. wrote Kennedy nine days ago
my senator; no word from his office on my request.

oh, you can call me a doomsayer, but i say the dems roll over and beg mercy.

but, whalerider, even if they protested, even if one brave and foolish senator co-sponsored the petition from the house dems to toss the ohio electors, it would only throw the choice to the house, and they own the house...

ah, but this is my answer.

they stole the election. they stole it four years ago in Scalia's closed office, in 2002 by hacking the florida and gerogia votes, and in 2004 by actively suppressing voters, by intimidating them, by hacking them, by locking down boards of electors.

i say make them steal it in broad daylight, televised on the floor of the house, where dem reps get to produce all the evidence conyers is generating. sure, they'll win, but they'll have to steal it in broad daylight, and that won't be very pretty.

and good people. could we possibly be in a worse position by going nuclear on this? it's not like they plan to stop election theft in 2006, right? it's not like that election means anything anymore, since we ipso facto can't win. That is, we can';t win if we roll over like beaten curs.

woof. woof. and woof again.

10. Make it the record! I agree. And, let me sound a warning to our leader
ship: A refusal to toss the electors will mark the end of your political careers. What are only tens of thousands of voices today, will be millions tomorrow-all calling for your action, or your resignations. We want our Democracy back. Not in 2006, or 2008, but now.

Somehow, our leadership feels fascism's manifestations will pass like a bad cold. Body America is dying and its not going to get better until Democratic "representatives" begin taking their roles seriously. These are desperate times calling for radical actions.

So what if there is a Constitutional crisis? The Criminal Party caused it! Bring these felons into the light for all to see. Force them to be complicit in a criminal cover-up. Expose their unAmericanism. Call them out for what they are. Stop mollifying, placating, and flip flopping, and kick the sh*t out of these as*holes.

We, the backbone and power you once stood for demand your response.

See separate thread (51CapitalMarch.com). Maybe Maxine can twist her arm a little, too.

7. Just 1 Senator? What about Senator Kerry and Edwards?
If there just needs to be 1 senator, then there shouldn't be a problem. Kerry and Edwards are both Senators, so they can just protest the election themselves. Something, though, tells me that it isn't that easy. So where's the catch?
