DELIVER A SENATOR TO THE HOUSE FOR CHRISTMAS!

Remember the beginning of Fahrenheit 911 when the African-American members of congress pleaded with the senate to block the fraudulent election and NOT ONE SENATOR came forward.

Well, it's coming around again. On January 6, 2005 the US House of Representatives is scheduled to certify the electoral college vote. WV-CAG and other organizations will be attending a meeting with Senator Byrd later this month to discuss the possibilities of him challenging the certification. To help deliver a Senator to the House for Christmas, please call Senator Byrd and ask him to challenge the electoral college certification on January 6 due to voting irregularities across the country, but especially Ohio and Florida. Senator Byrd's number is 202-224-3954. He can also be reached toll free by calling 1-800-839-5276. If you only make one call this is the one to make. All we need is one SENATOR and one REPRESENTATIVE to cause a full national debate in Congress. WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO BE PART OF THE PROCESS! (Thanks to Bonni McKeown for passing this along and for organizing the meeting with Senator Byrd.)

Examples of voting irregularities can be found at the following websites:
VotersUnite - www.votersunite.org and Verified Voting - www.verifiedvoting.org

If you're feeling ambitious and want to make additional calls you can also call the following Senators and urge them to challenge the certification:
