Update on 2004 Vote Gate



Today, a rally was held simultaneously in the 51 Capitols of the U.S. protesting the voter fraud fondly called Vote Gate 2004.  A few of us trekked on down to our state capitol, located in Springfield Illinois.



The following is an update of the rally:



   We will be holding protests outside of our current senator (who is retiring) Dick Durbin office every Monday from noon – 1pm starting (12/13/04) until the Electoral College convene on January 6th 2005 pressuring him to stand up for democracy.  On Wednesday’s we will be doing the same thing to Obama.  It appears Obama may not have a choice.  Obama got elected through a massive grassroots effort in Illinois; therefore, everyone knows Obama owes a huge debt to the people of Illinois.  The good news is that it appears he knows this and that we may be wearing him down.  The good Rev. (Jesse Jackson Sr., Founder of Rainbow Push Coalition) will be meeting with Obama once he returns to town to discuss the seriousness and the importance of his signature.  Right now, our sources told us Jesse is on vacation and will be attending a hearing in Ohio tomorrow about the election fraud before returning to Chicago.  People are determined not to let the same thing happen again that took place in
 Florida.
   Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. is circulating a petition to eventually make it a federal law instead of just a state law to have the rights to vote.
   We are coupling the vote fraud investigation (Vote Gate 2004) with the Bush’s administration intent to dismantle social security.  I believe it was in Bush’s third speech that he promised the American public he wouldn’t tamper with social security.  He lied!!!!  Currently, he already has policies in place to destroy social security.
   Even if we don’t succeed with the signature of the one Senator, which our source says that Obama is really leaning towards standing up for democracy, we will continue this grassroots efforts to insure that the American public will have free and fair elections from 2008 and beyond.
   Finally, it up to the citizens to hold political leaders accountable to its constituency.  The decision was never up to Kerry to concede without having a fair an accurate count of the votes.  A concession is not legally binding and certainly not under the conditions of fraud.

Thanks and take care....
