NO STOLEN ELECTIONS!
http://www.Nov3.US
We all remember the votes that were never counted in Florida 2000. While we
are all working hard for a positive outcome on November 2nd, we also have to be
prepared for a repeat of a 2000 stolen election. Below is a pledge for people
to sign, supporting efforts to mobilize and protect the vote on November 2nd
and making a commitment to protest starting on November 3rd in the case of a
fraudulent vote count. By signing this pledge, you will be joining with
thousands of others in the November 3rd Urgent Response Network. Please sign the
pledge at http://www.nov3.us/ and pass it around far and wide.
We are setting up a Fair Elections Advisory Council made up of U.S. and
international elections experts who will give us their assessment on election day
itself. If they find significant fraud, we will activate the Urgent Response
Network on or immediately after November 3rd, calling on people everywhere to
engage in protest, including non-violent civil disobedience, in front of their
local federal buildings and other appropriate places. We will also be asking
those who can to converge in the states where the most serious fraud occurred,
as well as in Washington DC.
In addition to signing the pledge, please work with other people and groups in
your area to protect the vote on November 2nd and to build the Urgent Response
Network. Pick a venue for your local protest in the case that the Urgent
Response Network is activated, and list the time and place on the website at
http://www.nov3.us . We also recommend that you find or organize a place to
jointly watch the election results on November 2nd.
Let us commit ourselves to making sure that this time around, the person who
occupies the White House is the one who won the election.
NO STOLEN ELECTIONS PLEDGE OF ACTION:
"I remember the stolen presidential election of 2000 and I am willing to take
action in 2004 if the election is stolen again. I support efforts to protect
the right to vote leading up to and on Election Day, November 2nd. If that
right is systematically violated, I pledge to join nationwide protests starting on
November 3rd, either in my community, in the states where the fraud occurred,
or in Washington DC."
Please sign the pledge now at http://www.Nov3.US

"The venom and vitriol of those here who hate George Bush could kill a rattlesnake. Now we see signs popping up all over that read 'Bush Must Go.' ... I understand that an intense anti-Bush sentiment runs in our county and that it can be intimidating. ... But I wish those people in Tompkins County who do support the president would start displaying their own bumper stickers and yard signs to that effect." - Ithaca Times Article about Bush Must Go (February 18, 2004)

Finger Lakes Election Committee Calling for Volunteers
From Bo Lipari: flace04@hotmail.com In our ongoing voter registration work, the Finger Lakes Election Committee is calling for volunteers to staff our registration tables in January. We'll be tabling this month at the Tompkins County Library and a new location - Tops supermarket on Meadow Street. Please let me know if you can volunteer for a one or two hour shift at either the Library or Tops Market.
Bush Must Go! Organization Founded
Announcing a budding new organization in Ithaca/Tompkins County called “Bush Must Go!”. Our vision is as follows: “In coordination with other national and local groups, we are part of a sustained campaign of political mobilization to defeat Bush in 2004 and to build a large, active, and enduring community movement devoted to peace, justice, social equality, and grassroots democratic participation.”
One of our first major “actions” is the distribution of a thousand “Bush Must Go” yardsigns and 2500 bumper stickers. The yardsigns are 16 inches by 26 inches with a 4 inch by 24 inch space at the bottom to put your personalized message into. (We offer ten different bumper stickers for sale—or you can create your own message.)
Bush Must Go headquarters have opened @ 115 The Commons (above Autumn Leaves Used Books) in Ithaca, New York.
