Please do not certify this election. There have been problems with accurate vote counts nationwide. How is the citizenry to be confident in our officials if they are not those we elect to represent us in government?
Thank you.
Please don't let this happen again. I watched the the members of Congress be told to sit down and shut up in our last stolen election 2000. Take a stand for democracy. Contest the Ohio electors on January 6th I am counting on you.
I am proud to live in a state like New Jersey that voted for the real president John Kerry. Sure my governor (a gay American), ex-senator Bradley and others all supported Dean but hey Kerry (a Vietnam Vet) would do too.
It is pitiful that so many possibly fraudulent votes cast in Ohio were not given a chance to count. I mean so what if people voted in the wrong district with no proper ID. Hey they waited in line a long time and that should count for something. If not for the presidency then what have all our soldiers been fighting for all these years?
We already saw Al Gore (a Vietnam Vet) get ripped off and Bush be installed as dictator de facto. Now again John Kerry (a Vietnam Vet) is again denied his rightful place as president. Sure over 3 million more Americans voted for Bush what but the heck does that mean. A few hundred thousand more voted for Al Gore (a Vietnam Vet) and it didn’t mean anything. You would think those people in the Electoral College would learn to count or something.
It is real important that every vote count and every vote count for Kerry (a Vietnam Vet). We and the world need him. Keep the count going!!!!

Election 2004

Ten preliminary reasons why the Bush vote does not compute, and why Congress must investigate rather than certify the Electoral College (Part One of Two).
The presidential vote for George W. Bush does not compute.
By examining a very wide range of sworn testimonies from voters, polling officials and others close to the administration of the Nov. 2 election; by statistical analysis of the certified vote by mathematicians, election experts and independent research teams who have conducted detailed studies of the results in Ohio, New Mexico, Florida and elsewhere; from experts who studied the voting machines, tabulators and other electronic equipment on which a fair vote count has depended; and from a team of attorneys and others who have challenged the Ohio results; the freepress.org investigative team has compiled a portrait of an election whose true outcome must be investigated further by the Congress, the media and all Americans - because it was almost certainly not an honest victory for George W. Bush.
Crucial flaws in the national vote count, most importantly in Ohio, New Mexico and Florida, indicate John Kerry was most likely the actual winner on November 2, as reported in national exit polls. At very least, the widespread tampering with how the election was conducted, and how Ohio's votes were counted and re-counted, has compromised this nation's historic commitment to free and fair elections.
On Thursday, January 6, the Electoral College will be challenged by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and other members of Congress under a law passed in 1887 in reaction to the fraudulent election of 1876. A fuller investigation requires assent by at least one Senator.
As this vote nears, Ohio's certified presidential vote (and quite likely those of at least Florida and New Mexico) is simply not credib
A very big spotlight must be shined on the numerous extremely suspicious activities regarding the vote and the recount. If there were ever a time to take a stand it is NOW. Please speak up. We are counting on you.
Democrats let Bush
& gang get away with
too many lies & the
beginning of the
destruction of our
Constitution &
everything our great
Country stands for.
Please don't let
them complete the
job in the next 4
years. Please stand
up to them all year
& truely be the
representatives that
you should be for us.
Thank you,
Larry & Fran Pollard
Those were OUR votes, we need to demand to know what happened to them. You reckon ALL the exit poles that favored Kerry just decided to lie about what they were hearing?
Stand up here and now for fair elections, legal elections, stand up and be counted. Not one Senator stood in 2001. We are not asking that the election be overturned, but that it be investigated, that the evidence be reviewed.
enough of voter theft. Thefft of even one vote is bad, theft of more and in more than one location leads you to ask 'what more is being taken and by what means?'
If they could they would, so they did!
Plase consider taking a principled stand for our democracy and for fundamental civil rights for minorities and youth in this country. This is a non-partisan issue. The whole world will be watching. Do the right thing! We need you now!
Democracy can only function with the consent of a majority of voters. We cannot let a small group of what i consider criminals change that. Our great nation depends on some brave senators to stand up for what is right. a great wrong has been done in the 2004 presidential election.
My vote is my voice, and my entry into this democracy. If my voice, or any citizen’s voice, is dismissed or denied, there must be an unassailable reason for it, or this is not the democracy I was raised to love and defend. It should be the first, most profound duty of our elected officials to ensure the integrity of our elections and to stand up to protect every citizen's right to have his vote counted. We cannot stand upon the world stage and crow about being a model of democracy if our own elections are suspect, and do not reflect each citizen's vote being counted!
I have a serious concern after reading news articles, etc., and viewing what happened in the 2000 election - as well as the statistics on the exit polls! I am severely concerned that one of our rights and privileges as Americans has been denied us - and that, with these events, we are seriously in danger of losing TRUE democracy!
This election was nothing but a fraud, especially in Ohio. Please do not certify the states' 20 electoral votes to George W. Bush. He didn't deserve them.
Someone needs to stand up to this vote fraud NOW. We all know it is going on.. it won't take long for us to figure out a less peaceful way of stopping this kind of fraud.
It is very disturbing that exit polling data was so far off in states with no paper trail but very accurate in states with a paper trail. This election must not be certified until these irregularties have been fully investigated and explained.
I believe serious attention should be paid to voter irregularities in the 2004 Presidential Election. Especially those concerns surrounding the use of "unauditable electronic voting machines".
It is crucial to fully assess NOW, not in 2006, the voting procedures used in the 2004 election. National procedures must be established and 2004 procedures have been untrustworthy. It is up to the Congress to challenge this vote, analyze the system as it was and establish proper, auditible machinery and procedures for future elections in which all Americans can be assured each vote is properly recorded and properly counted. Please realize how essential your action is in this matter. Thank you.
All I am asking for is that you be willing to take a stand long enough to review the evidence. I don't yet know what I think because I have not yet heard of anyone in official capacity who has taken this election as seriously as we take those of other countries. Please, give your consituents back their faith in you.
I write with great sincerity and hope.
Here is a unique opportunity to Make History by standing up for the integrity of the electoral process, a non-partisan issue at the core of our democracy. What statesman will lead us?
The election was stolen in Ohio, Fla, and new Mexico. We need a new election in Ohio because the OHio election and recount were both done fraudulently. Talk to Rep. Conyers if you are still unaware of the fraud. This is the 2nd stolen election. We cannot sit by and do nothing. Our democracy will be a a distant memory.
If we are to declare foreign elections -- as those in the Ukraine -- fradulent based on differences between official vote and exit polls, then we must be prepared to pass the same judgement on our own elections.
It is your resposibility to keep the election process free from corruption. Advanced technologiy must be an evolutionary driver for your own wisdom and impeccable integrity. We, your fellow countrymen are relying on you to act on our behalf to keep our government free from corruption.
Please, I beg you , DO NOT let us down !!!
Now, more than ever, it's important to keep the torch of hope shining. With the Republican shenanigans in Congress right now, you Senators need to let "W" and the Rep. leadership that you're watching the disgraceful actions.
