The
Oral Majority will NEVER
FORGET the day Democracy Died.
Ask
your Senator to Object to Florida Electors! Today, Florida Congressman Alcee Hastings courageously stepped forward and announced his intention to challenge Florida's Electors when Congress meets in joint session on Saturday. He was joined by Florida Congresswomen Carrie Meek and Corrine Brown (see full release below).
Hastings is acting on behalf of the Congressional Black Caucus. Unfortunately, there are NO black Senators since Carol Moseley Braun was defeated in 1998. Hastings and other members of the CBC are appealing to Democratic Senators to join them.
THE BLACK CAUCUS CANNOT FIGHT THIS BATTLE ALONE. WE MUST FIND A DEMOCRATIC SENATOR!!! Keep Calling your Democratic Senators!
In the past two days, you have inundated the Senate offices with calls. We know many of the Senators are sympathetic to our cause, but we have heard two main objections.
1. Vice President Gore has asked them not to challenge Florida's electors because he has conceded the election.
Our response: our challenge is NOT about Al Gore. It's about the 50 MILLION AMERICANS WHO VOTED for Al Gore - and about SAVING AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. Thanks to recent recounts - which were blocked by taxpayer-funded Republican thugs and a partisan Republican U.S. Supreme Court - we know that Al Gore won more votes in Florida. We also know there was widespread official misconduct, illegal activity, and violations of the Voting Rights Act. IF WE ALLOW GEORGE W. BUSH TO STEAL THIS ELECTION, HOW WILL OUR DEMOCRACY SURVIVE?
2. A challenge will be counterproductive if only a handful of Democrats end up voting for the challenge.
Our response: we believe the facts are so crystal-clear that at the end of the mandatory 2-hour debate EVERY open-minded Senator will be persuaded to support the challenge.
SO KEEP CALLING YOUR SENATORS, with the simple message: PLEASE support Alcee Hastings and the Congressional Black Caucus in challenging Florida's 25 illegal electors on January 6. For more information, refer your Senator to http://trustthepeople.com
If
you don't have a Democratic Senator (or want extra credit!) please
call the following progressive Senators (all area 202): Wellstone
(224-5641), Boxer (224-3553), Harkin (224-3254), Kennedy (224-4543),
Schumer (224-6542), Mikulski (224-4654), Feingold (224-5323).
