Monday noon NY rally to investigate Ohio; Leg Lois Bronz to attend

Here is a notice from Nick Mottern about Monday's rally. Please come if you can and urge others to come and support this very important rally.

Monday, 12/27 Investigate the Vote Rally 12:00-1:00 PM
FBI Office, 222 Bloomingdale Road at Mamaroneck

Monday's FBI Rally Is Extremely Important

Please do your utmost to attend the rally planned for next Monday, Dec. 27 at noon at the White Plains office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, located at 222 Bloomingdale Road. This is an extremely important rally for at least two reasons:

1. The rally will focus on the evidence of a widespread conspiracy in Ohio and Florida to disenfranchise black voters. This was done in Florida in the 2000 election, and the scheme spread to Ohio in this election. A central part of the scheme was to deprive polling places in black communities of adequate numbers of voting machines. The press has not given adequate coverage to the whole issue of vote rigging, as we know, but the black vote disenfranchisement has been even less a story. This, inspite of Michael Moore's dramatic sequence in Fahrenheit 9/11 in which black Congresspeople sought objection to the 2000 election, and not one senator could be found to join them.

Lois Bronz, the first woman and first African-American to chair the Westchester County Legislature, plans to attend Monday's rally, as does Charles Coca, president of the Ossining National Associationn for the Advancement of Colored People and Sundiata Sadiq, former president of that organization. Joanne Robinson, a long-time worker for civil rights and economic justice, will also attend. Other political leaders have been invited.

2. A strong turnout at this rally is critical not only to gaining press attention but to building political pressure on Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer to stand to join the Congresspeople on Jan. 6 who will object to the 2004 election.

We recognize that this rally comes in at a time when many people will be away for the holidays, but we felt that it is absolutely critical to make a showing now because of the approaching elections deadlines, notably Jan. 6. Many of us have sent email petitions and in other ways have been using the internet to assist in getting vote justice. However, there is no substitute for getting out into the street. That is how civil rights were won, and that is how they are going to have to be defended.

As noted earlier, so far the FBI has not answered the letters and email that we have sent to them, imploring the agency to investigate the evidence of 2004 vote rigging.

We will gather on the Mamaroneck Avenue side of 222 Bloomingdale Road, where the sidewalk is widest and there is plenty of sunshine. Coffee will be available. There will be a permit for the rally.

If you need more information, please call [phone]. Wishing you very happy holidays, Nick

Please circulate this as widely as possible.
