Dear President Obama: NO CONCESSION if they try to steal this thing

[Voice for Peace]

You know you're supposed to get those four more years.
I will chip in for lawsuits if needed.

[juajen]

1. Though measly resources, I too will chip in. I am very tired of this.

[Voice for Peace]

2. yah

I can't chip in a lot, but it will all add up if he needs us.

[lsewpershad]

3. Count me in

[Cha]

11. That's right..it will add up! Warren Buffet just said

he would chip in $5.00 and a million of us would do the same if mitt released his Tax Returns.

One thing I feel confident about is the Obama Team Fighting this if there's any of that stealing cheating crap going on.

[Voice for Peace]

15. I thought he said he'd give a million to the Mormon Church for every year of returns..

.. read that right here on DU!

[Cha]

21. My bad! I got this mixed up with Warren Buffet's Offer..

"I'll give $5 to charity if Romney releases tax returns, and so will 1,000,000 others"

And, you were right, V f P!

[Buddaman]

4. Im in!!!!

[noiretextatique]

5. i actually wrote obama a letter a few months ago

and told him the same thing: do not concede to another election theft.

[Voice for Peace]

6. not until every machine and every software program is checked for tinkering, every

paper vote recounted, every thread unravelled.

[noiretextatique]

7. exactly...it simply cannot happen again

and it should not have happened the first time. if they want a civil war, this time they will have one.

[Voice for Peace]

16. and we will be so damn civil they'll never know what hit them

[Grammy23]

8. Hope an investigation is not necessary....but just in case, I bet we can

pass the hat here and get some coins to help out with the cause. Maybe some bills, too. In 2004, election night was bad. What was worse was when Kerry caved. Cried for days and haven't felt the same about the electoral system since. Don't trust it. One bit.

[msongs]

9. good advice since kerry caved before the sun rose the next day lol nt

[-LOKI -BAD FOR YA]

32. he was recieving bad advise from gop gofer ed rendell stupid not to contest all of florida n\t

[karynnj]

38. Maybe if you were in Hawaii! It was the latest concession in modern times if you count

the first Gore concession. There were not votes to claim Ohio with. The Republicans suppressed the vote - that is what led to Ohio early voting to counter just that.

[robinlynne]

10. if?

[Voice for Peace]

20. I know, but I didn't want to ignite the terrors by saying "when"

We know they will try, but will they "succeed" ??

I say no concession.

Romney can not win by any other means than
election theft.

[robinlynne]

22. I agree. 100%

[RBInMaine]

12. Please,let's not get awash in paranoia and handwring over this. Just donate, canvass, call and VOTE.

[Columbus Free Press]

13. Please

Do not refer to well documented research done by my organization over the last 8 years as "paranoia"

thanks

[Voice for Peace]

18. I think we all bounce back and forth quite a bit.. hope and fear

The information and preparation for such an occurrence
is crucial, and I'm so grateful for those who've paid attention
and researched.

But for some, including me at times, it's so disabling to think
of such a possibility, and better to focus on other actions.
Takes all of us doing whatever we can do, whatever we're
good at.

[Voice for Peace]

17. it's easy to get anxious about the machines and the disenfranchising

but I hate the feeling of anxiety and avoid it when I can.

It's been nagging at me, though, and today it hit me
powerfully that Obama doesn't have to concede, even if the
worst happens. Which it won't.

[hamsterjill]

14. Anything worth having is worth fighting for if you have to.

Count me IN!

[Voice for Peace]

19. and Obama seriously likes to WIN

[davidpdx]

23. I agree

If there is any kind of contested election (crossing my fingers it won't happen), I'll be dropping everything here in Seoul and flying to where ever it is they need protesters.

[ailsagirl]

24. Kick

[Voice for Peace]

25. thanks for the kick!

[ailsagirl]

39. Anytime, VFP

I remember the sick, sinking feeling in my gut when Kerry inexplicably conceded the election. I'll never forget that horror.

[Democratopia]

26. If this election is stolen because vote machine hack, it will be impossible to prove it

[Voice for Peace]

29. I don't believe that.

[Columbus Free Press]

40. You shouldnt

The Free Press will be conducting election monitoring and election defense in Ohio on election day. This is a major campaign and we need your help.

We have:

Access. Through our partnership with the Green Party, our election monitors can be in the polling places, watching the setup, voting, close out, and chain of custody of ballots and electronic ballot boxes. We can watch the tabulation operations at each county board of elections in Ohio. We have the same access as monitors from the Democratic and Republican Parties.

Lawyers. We have a few good lawyers who will be on hand in Columbus and Cincinnati to take affidavits and file for injunctive relief as needed. We will defend election monitors who are wrongfully arrested or harassed by local law enforcement and others in the course of exercising their citizen's rights.

An Operations Center We have a location with computers, video editing capability for our video the vote project, 2 radio stations and our website to make this project run smoothly.

Experience. We have been monitoring elections for 8 years. We know all the legal ins and outs, what to look for and where to go.

Intelligence. We have been extensively researching election fraud in Ohio. We are confident that we can send our monitors to where they are needed knowing what to look for.


What we need:

YOU! If you are a registered voter in the state of Ohio, and you contact us before Sunday the 4th, you can be an election monitor and participate as part of our team. There are 88 Counties in Ohio, and thousands of polling places. Get out and be the boots on the ground and help us stop this fraud before it happens. Contact us at [e-mail] to get involved.

Money. If you are not in Ohio, but you still wish to help, consider making some small donation to the Free Press. We are a small organization that lives on microdonations. Please earmark your donation for "election defense" so that we may spend your donation in line with stated donor intent. Donations to the Free Press in general wont make us cry either.

Social Media Force Multipliers: We need people to repost, chain email, flike. fshare, tweet, pin etc our election monitoring results. If you are far away you can still have a say.


Remember folks this is your Democracy. Yours to cherish and Yours to Defend. Governments dont defend democracy, Citizens do! Be in touch

[Voice for Peace]

41. thank you! You are awesome.

this is essential work.

[Firebirds01]

44. Just in franklin and

hamilton county? Will you be anywhere else? Clark county perhaps?

[defacto7]

27. We just need to be aware and not be complaisant.

Pick you battle based on what best you can do with what you have. Don't waste time on being involved where your best talent isn't served or on frivolous worry.

We know they are trying to steel the election. What can we do now? What can we do later? Do it.

[-LOKI -BAD FOR YA]

33. you can not be fooled unless you agree

obama is on it,remember he is a lawyer a very good one.almost all the voter suppression has been stopped by the courts the early voting is a way of Neutralizing the machines

[GranholmFan]

28. He'll concede..

All Dems do. And then people get disenfranchised and wonder why they should vote the next election if their candidate won't fight for them.

[Voice for Peace]

30. wrong, friend: the times they are a'changin

come writers and critics
who prophesize with your pen

and keep your eyes wide
the chance won't come again

and don't speak too soon,
for the wheel's still in spin
and there's no telling
who that it's naming

for the loser now
will be later to win,

for the times
they are a'changin

[grasswire]

31. nice try

no donut

[GranholmFan]

34. Tell that to former President John Kerry

oh wait?

[defacto7]

35. and John Kerry is All Dems, hmmm you probably didn't mean that.

So, you only have a few thousand more to go.

[gravity]

36. Obama already won on early voting in Ohio

His justice department fought against voter ID laws and voter purges with some success.

The fear that an event like the 2000 election will occur again is way overblown. The real efforts to steal the 2012 elections are about suppressing minorities and young voters which Obama is fighting with his ground game and justice department.

[Voice for Peace]

37. thank you gravity, you have brought me back down to earth

Thank you seriously, all encouraging perspectives are welcome & needed.

[JNelson6563]

42. Obama ain't Kerry

Thank the gods.

[Voice for Peace]

43. and the Dogs

[JNelson6563]

45. Yes, especially the dogs!

[YvonneCa]

46. And thank...

...Kerry.
