I don't give a flying farkas whether you like Kerry or not at this point, this isn't about him. It's about protecting our democracy and right to fair elections.
I'm sure some of you know that the 2004 election has been under close legal scrutiny, with recounts underway in Ohio, and pending in New Mexico.
Rep. John Conyers feels he needs a million e-mails to compel the House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings about the 2004 election. I appeal to [you to] ... spread this message among your list of Democracy supporting friends and associates. Go here:
http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/contact.html and tell the Judiciary Committee you want hearings on Ohio!
Sample letter:
To the House Judiciary Committee:
I am writing to urge the House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings as soon as possible on the irregularities of the 2004 election. I need not remind the Judiciary Committee members that the Unites States is a beacon of democracy for the rest of the world. If we truly wish to remain the embodiment of democratic values, then we must treat the right of every citizen to vote and for their vote to count as sacred.
Ample evidence has arisen that this right was violated or undermined for many Americans in the 2004 election. I strongly believe that holding hearings to investigate and resolve these irregularities would be an act of tremendous patriotism on the part of Congress, and would serve as a declaration that we are the world's greatest democracy not only in word, but in deed.
Thank you,
{your name}

What do I mean by "ample evidence?"
http://joeorgren.com/MossvBush1.pdf http://joeorgren.com/MossvBush2.pdf The official Petition and Injunction to contest the election results in Ohio. Long winded legalese, but print it out and take it to the crapper, because when you are done reading it, you're going to shit.
Forward to anyone and everyone you know who gives a hoot about our country.
it takes only a minute to fire off an email to the judiciary committee. Let's hit 1,000,000. This is OUR mandate.
