DEMAND that C-span cover election fraud hearing
- by: Carol Chivers
- recipient: C-Span
Apparently some people in government don't have their eyes closed. A hearing will be held by members of congress discussing the evidence of voter fraud. Sign this to tell C-span to cover this extremely important event. Thank you.
Democratic Representative John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan, ranking Minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, will hold a hearing on Wednesday 08 December 2004 to investigate allegations of vote fraud and irregularities in Ohio during the 2004 Presidential election. The hearing is slated to begin at 10:00 a.m. EST in the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington DC.
Democratic Representatives Melvin Watt and Robert Scott will also be centrally involved with the hearing. Rev. Jesse Jackson will be in attendance, along with Ralph Neas (President, People for the American Way), Jon Greenbaum (Director, Voting Rights Project, Lawyers Committee For Civil Rights Under Law), Ellie Smeal (Executive Director, The Feminist Majority), Bob Fitrakis ( The Free Press), Cliff Arnebeck (Arnebeck Associates), John Bonifaz (General Counsel, National Voting Institute), Steve Rosenfeld (Producer, Air America Radio), and Shawnta Walcott (Communications Director, Zogby International). Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell has been invited to attend.
The term hearing is technically not accurate in this matter, as Conyers and his fellow Representatives will be holding this forum without the blessing of the Republican Majority leader of the Judiciary Committee. Staffers from the Minority office at the Judiciary
Committee describe the event as a Members Briefing. That having been said, this event will be a hearing by
every meaningful definition of the word. Expert testimony will be offered, and a good deal of data on potential fraud previously unreported to the public will be discussed and examined at length.
The hearing came together thanks to a confluence of events, and through the work of like-minded individuals who are deeply concerned about the allegations of vote fraud in the Ohio Presidential
election. Tim Carpenter and Kevin Spidel, along with other members of Progressive Democrats of America, went to Washington DC to speak with the Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee about the need for an investigation into these allegations. They found Rep. Conyers, his fellow Judiciary Democrats, and their staffers already working on assembling such an
investigation.
It is absolutely essential that C-span give this hearing the kind of coverage it deserves. There is no single issue more important in our society than democracy itself, and with the seriously suspicious conditions present during this recent election, a proper response is absolutely necessary.
Please show the entire hearing, as evidence will be discussed that has previously not been released. The American Public and the citizens of the world need to know what happened on and leading up to Nov. 2, and what we are doing about it now.
Whatever your personal feelings are regarding the outcome of this election are irrelevant. I think it is safe to say that every citizen of a democratic nation is deeply concerned with the validity of our voting system. That validity having been called into serious question, partly due to a lack of public knowledge, every step of this critical investigation must be widely and openly covered. This is the first step.
You must cover this hearing.
