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
