ACTION ALERT: Call Senators TODAY to Challenge 1/6 Ohio Electoral Vote Count

Congressman John Conyers will be seeking senatorial support to challenge the January 6th electoral vote count. Our very own Senator Bingaman is on that list of Senators that Conyers hopes to convince. This is important -- please click on link and sign. Our Senators and the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary: www.ContestTheVote.org.

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.

To insure a debate in Washington, D.C. re: the legitimacy of Ohio's count, we need Senator Bingaman to challenge the Electoral College Delegation.  Contact the Senator Bingaman's office ASAP and ask him to support the Conyers effort. Ask Sen. Bingaman to speak up on January 6th and "to object to the counting of the Ohio votes, due to numerous unexplained irregularities in the Ohio presidential vote, many of which appear to violate both federal and state law."

        Senator Jeff Bingaman
        FAX  (202) 224-2852
        PHONE  (202) 224-5521
        Capitol Switchboard 1-800-839-5276
        www.senate.gov/~bingaman (for email using his form)
        senator_bingaman@bingaman.senate.gov (for email without his form)

        Faxing him would be best at this point.
        This is also the time to call Bingaman's field rep in your area.
        You can find the numbers for the Senator's field offices here.
(Thanks to Andrea Sterling for the heads up.)
