If you saw Fahrenheit 911, you know that the Congressional Black Caucus' brave challenge to the fraudulent 2000 election results failed for the lack of ONE SENATOR'S SIGNATURE.

Let's not let this happen again!! Tell a Senator to challenge the 2004 Presidential election results until we have answers to the charges of voter intimidation, electronic ballot hacking, and outright vote fraud that are emerging daily.

Some DUers are sending messages to maverick Sen. Russ Feingold, figuring he's our best option for making waves. Others are sending them to lame ducks Tom Daschle, Bob Graham, and John Edwards, all of whom have legal standing to sign the challenge - and all of whom have nothing to lose electorally at this point.

Use this convenient "Senate Blaster" created by DUer tommcintyre:

NGU.

Sure that'll work.

Which one, Chris Bond or Jim Talent? /sarcasm

Sorry, but in Missouri, I don't think I'm in a position where asking my own Senator would do a damn bit of good.

he provided a link that does it all for you.

:)

Feingold, Daschle, Graham, and Edwards - who incidentally promised on Nov.3 that every vote would be counted. Sure Senators give attention to their constituents first, but a jammed email box gets attention too.

NGU.

That's who hedda_foil suggested. She's in Illinois, btw.

He won't be able to vote on this as he won't be in office when it comes up... Sadly.

To the Constitution I go!

Asking Cornyn or Hutchinson would be an exercise in futility.

them would do this...but Kay Bailey Hutchinson and John Cornyn?

I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!!!!!1

he's writing to all 100 Senators. Hmmm, is this wise?

...so you can edit the names you want to include. Or just copy the text of the letter into your own email, address to the right Senator(s).

NGU.

why would we be sending to the Repub Senators?

I'll let you know when I have an answer.

NGU.

NGU.

...on a customizable "Senate Blaster," so you can pick the Senators you'd like to blast. Thanks for the suggestion!

NGU.

The repukes need to know that we will never let this issue die. When they realize the criminals are going down, those innocents among them will want to position themselves on the right side of justice--political expedience, you know.

edit to add--I'm in texas also.

I think some of them know that this year it's not just about a stolen election, but also about the fate of America and the world. Maybe if we remind them all of that, maybe at least one of them will feel that his own career is not as important as the whole world. And maybe we could ask them if they want to be remembered as someone who refused to stand up for democracy or as the hero or helped save America?
This president really truly is showing all the signs of mental illness and definately Hitleristic delusions and some of them must know this.

I just heard on the news that the Spanish PM has tried to call "the idiot" to congratulate him on his election.

Can Bush be any dumber than he is? He's refused the calls.

He talks to whom he pleases and shuts out anyone that doesn't agree with him.

This is who is leading our country, i.e., the /worst/ diplomat of all times.

Someone, save me!

:cry:

NGU.

He has nothing to loose......May as well show a hint of backbone on his way out.

Daschle, Dorgan, Dayton, Kerry, Kennedy, Edwards and Graham.....

That knocks out Daschle and Edwards. Can we find out the answer to this important question before everyone sends letters to folks who will not even be in Congress?

But there are still many true believers - Feingold, Kennedy, Durbin, Dorgan, etc.

NGU.

Dayton!!

...from Michigan have been two of the few Dems who have voted against Bushco's agenda from the beginning. I just emailed both of them via the Senate site.

I will ask his secretary if Mitch can get off his knees a for few minutes and take a break from servicing the drug and tobacco lobbyists to chat about the problems with the election.

Daschle, Graham and Edwards won't be senators on Jan 3.

Besides even if someone does challenge then congress votes on the challenge, wonder how that will go for us. :rolleyes:

I appreciate the symbolic value of contesting the election (and practical value as well, should it promote further investigation of vote fraud).

But I am wondering, what would stop the Repugs from contesting the next election should the Dem somehow manage to be certified as the winner and thereby effectively re-stealing the Presidency (assuming they still control the Congress). But, then again, what would stop them from choosing to do that even without a revenge factor.

...do or don't do. I'm doing what's right and responsible. I know that in my heart.

NGU.

any response on the email you sent?

:)

...the one Bushfire mentions above, and left my message on her voicemail. She's probably back here for the holiday. I expect a return call or email on Monday.

NGU.

Then, I should hold off writing till Monday. Can you PM me with the answer, ClassWarrior?

I hope the person who put up that site, will keep it up. Hmmmm.

:)

Love the OSX icon, by the way. Once you go Mac, you don't go back...

NGU.

Ain't it the truth!

Unfortunately, I'm still running my G4, 9.1.2, but! I'm getting that new iMac G5 soon.

I love Mac peeps!

thanks in advance of the PM or I'll PM you on Tuesday.

:yourock:

I'm running OSX on a G4 laptop and absolutely LOVE it.

NGU.

but, I'm dying for the new iMac with a 20" screen. I have a tower now. I can't wait to start using X.

Nice to meet a fellow "Mac Geek"

:hi:

That's very cool.

NGU.

and it is the one that looks like a stand-up laptop.

It's very sleek :)

whether overturning a presidential election is as simple a matter as having enough votes in Congress. :shrug:

But I agree, Class Warrior, NGU! :)

...nothing's a simple matter. But a Congressional challenge is another arrow in the quiver for a war I'm spoiling to wage with those neanderthals.

NGU.

easily verifiable, transparent elections from here on out. God help anyone who tries this shit again.

that no one asked him to join the House Dems in calling for an investigation or he would have done it. I thought it was a lame statement at the time. BTW we need someone other than a sitting senator to run in 2008. They seem to get all wimpy once in office.

in my mind of K & E fired up speechs are lasting.
Like a DU-front pg article that asserted Kerry had not pointed to this regime as "extremist". When I heard it many times directed
to certainly foreign policy-actions as well as domestic. That radical is the totality of everything from this vileness. Anti-democracy coercive concentration of wealth/power.

...to exposing the criminality of this election, aren't they?

NGU.

:evilfrown:

Hmmmm...

NGU.

I live in TX; tell me if I'm wrong, but I don't think my own senators will help.

NGU.

NGU.

Wait...Why don't we ask one John F. Kerry (D-Mass) to be interested.

NGU.

Send them a copy of Fahrenheit 9/11 if you can afford it, and the link to the votergate.tv documentary on e voting.

And yes, by all means give them an appropriate Christmas gift.

NGU.

<Edit: I'm going to post this separately since there is much more here than I originally intended, and people that already blasted, may not read in here.>

1- Thanks for posting this Classwarrior. I just discovered it, and I'm glad you did it, since all my time (16-18 hrs/day) is consumed on building this and the National media blaster (see below).

2 - I will separate the two sets into Dems and Repubs; however, I prefer to send them to all in the blast. I want the GOP aware of the growing anger about the 2004 attempted (so far) theft. If anything comes of this, they're gonna find out anyway, right? ;~}

3 - I will also work on some kind of ez way to quickly send an em to your Senators only. Many of the autoresponders came back showing a definite pref to constituents. However, I think everyone should also blast all the Senators - again so they get a feeling for the growing anger.

4 - Those that have sent to all may have noticed there were 19 bad addys in there (still a supermajority - not bad). I think these Senators have gone to form mail. The dreaded enemy of blasters! I have some bu lists to check for alt addys; but:

if anyone knows of good em's for the following, please PM me.

I may make a letter to mass mail to those that can't be blasted letting them know what a mistake it is to go to form mail since, they will be "out of the loop" on mass sentiments of the public. I plan to continue this blaster, the MSM one, and build a House one too. Since if the Chimp stays on, we will have much to fight (vote reform, Judge confmations, Artic drilling, SSI privatization, flat tax, social conservative agenda, etc.)

5 -

I still need help

I need someone to write a "send to a friend" letter to get others to em their Senators.
http://www.independentmediasource.com/senatevote_emailothers.htm.htm

Also, alternative messages and subject headlines would be nice for these pages: <The less time I spend composing the letters, the more time I have to build the pages, etc>
http://www.independentmediasource.com/senatevote_alt_msgs.htm
http://www.independentmediasource.com/voteintegrity_alt_msgs.htm

6 - If you sent a message, but didn't include one of the "senatewatch" ems at the beginning of each set, I can't update you. So PM me here with your email address.

Senate Blaster

Tell the U.S. Senators you want them to contest the Presidential election

The U.S. Representatives are ready to do it. All it takes is just one Senator to sign on too! In 2000, not even one would! Let's not let this happen again! Email them all and let them know how you feel!

for those who just want to mail a few.

Barak Obama Barak Obama Barak Obama.

He is part of the new.

I still believe. But I am looking at the 2nd amendment in a new light.

Their list has many bad email address. I started blasting senators using email address on their list, and many emails failed to go through due to bad domains reported by my mail server and routing errors reported by the Senate routing server.

I did receive automated replies from some, but using this list seems to be a waste of time!

If he doesn't he move the election to be set aside, why should anyone do it for him?
