Keith: You were the only member of the mainstream media to address the election fraud issue. Now, you're relying on people from the WALL STREET JOURNAL to frame the debate?

Goodness gracious. That's like asking Vladimir Putin for commentary on how to conduct fair elections.

This isn't about Kerry and Bush, no matter how much journalists try to frame the issue in partisan terms. It's about the integrity of our election process. Doesn't it strike you as remarkable that even without help from newspapers and TV, one American in five doesn't believe the election on Nov. 2 was honest? What would the percentage be if the New York Times, CBS, and CNN had presented balanced coverage all along, instead of virtually ignoring the problem?

You seem to think that Kerry's strategy (having it both ways?) is what matters here. IT ISN'T! I don't care a damn about Kerry at this point, frankly...but I do care that my four grandchildren are growing up in a world where fraudulent elections overseas are exposed (with American help) but our own are tolerated, while journalists either pay no attention or frame the issue in terms of political gamesmanship.

All:

The "Democrats" are " selling you down the river" . Abandon them now, tell them so, get the new act together now. They refused to run a resolute, informative, antifascist campaign in 2004, and now they are caving in to the DLC agents of the RNC. It is time to end all progressive support for the "Democrats". It is time to organize MASSIVELY for a New Progressive Party. The New Progressive Party must go out to the American people and put to them squarely the simple question of whether it is worth it to give up health care, medicare, social security, education, clean water, clean air, safe medications, civil international relations, and many more things in order to get antidemocratic prayer in the schools. Damn the "Democrats"! Full Speed Ahead !!!

-E.S.

Questions are swirling around whether the election was conducted honestly or not. We need to know -- was it or wasn't it?

When Congress reconvenes in January, at least 14 members of the House of Representatives will challenge the validity of the 2004 election. They will request an immediate investigation into many problems and irregularities encountered in the election.

According to the Electoral Count Act of 1887, one senator and one House Representative are required to contest an election prior to inauguration. We have the representatives; we still need a senator. Please let your senators know that you want them to stand up with House Representatives and contest the vote.

The signed petitions will be delivered to each senator in person by a coalition of representatives from a variety of concerned organizations and individuals. We will also deliver copies of signed petitions from all states to the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary to encourage them to hold formal hearings on the 2004 election. our senators and the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary:

Well into its third century, the American experiment in democracy remains unfulfilled. Far from ready for export, American democracy is still a work in progress, inclusive and resilient in many respects, yet divisive and uncaring in others. The framers of our Constitution, having established a set of legal rights admired and modeled throughout the world since, neglected to also establish the economic rights essential towards securing a decent life for every member of our society.

At the beginning of a new millenium, American citizens find their security under threat. Islamic fundamentalism and rogue nations with nuclear ambitions are the obvious and external threats, but there are growing threats to our economic security as well. The threats of hunger, poverty, inadequate housing, inadequate health care, inadequate child care, inadequate education, and inadequate retirement security loom larger for an increasing number of Americans.
