Photos from a Denver protest [Denver Voice]
The Denver rally made a big impression at least as far away as Kansas City!

These images are very inspiring.
Please forward this reminder: No Stolen Elections KC
is holding a rally ths Saturday, Dec. 4, 1 p.m., at
the JC Nichols fountain. Please use these images as
inspiration for making signs. They should be colorful,
thought-provoking, easily read from a moving car--and
catchy (easy to remember slogans). Costumes or masks
are also welcome--as are props or anything else that
will gather attention.
TOGETHER we can take back our country!!!

> Press Release from 11/18/04:
>
> On Saturday at noon on the Capitol steps, a
> rally will protest the unfairness and illegitimacy
> of the 2004 election, and call for remedies, now and
> for future elections. It is called by 150 people
> from diverse organizations who have met six times in
> the past week at the Mercury Cafe.
>
> First, 50 million people - over 40 per cent of
> the actual electorate - voted on machines that leave
> no paper trail. Republicans and Democrats wanted a
> trail at the time of the Help America Vote Act. But
> a resolution to require it was never allowed to come
> to the floor of the House by Dennis Hastert and Tom
> Delay. Nevada had a primary which combined
> electronic machines with a paper trail. It is
> neither difficult nor expensive. Yet no move was
> made to make voting verifiable or transparent to
> ordinary citizens.
>
> Second, exit polls are never wrong. They have
> been used in Georgia to overturn the Shevardnadze
> government and in Mexico for Vicente Fox against the
> PRI. The exit polls were accurate within a point in
> Utah, New York, Texas, and many other states. Swing
> states, however, show a large and unexplained
> differential, from 4 to 6 points, in one direction
> only: from Kerry in the exit polls to Bush in the
> final results. Randomness would require a scatter of
> votes, some for Kerry, some for Bush. Further, For
> Pennsylvania (where Kerry won but by 4 points less
> than the exit polls predicted), Ohio and Florida,
> the odds against this happening are 1 in 250
> million. See the paper of Steven Freeman
> (www.truthout.org/docs_04/111404A.shtml). There may
> be a plausible explanation aside from the obvious
> one - that the machines and other measures somehow
> skewed the votes illegitimately for George Bush -
> but it needs to be argued and documented to put
> doubts about our democracy to rest. Contrary to the
> wave of publicity about anomalies in Florida - that
> the vote was supposedly fair - these two
> considerations show that a) the election was
> dramatically unfair and un-transparent compared to
> any other American election and all contemporary
> foreign democratic elections, except Afghanistan and
> Iraq and b) that no reasonable person can have
> confidence in the result.
>
> Third, a large registration of black and
> Chicano voters occurred in this election. Yet
> challenges produced long lines and a
> disproportionate number of provisional ballots. In
> addition, "spoiled" ballots come disproportionately
> from minority communities. These special measures to

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
--Martin Luther King, Jr."Voice or no voice, the people can always be
brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is
tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of
patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any
country."-- Hermann Goering, Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, 1945
