The Pledge
Join Reverend Jesse Jackson, Tom Hayden, Barbara Ehrenreich, Manning Marable, Norman Solomon, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Van Jones, Holly Near, Emily Levy, Jim Hightower, Mark Crispin Miller, Uncounted filmmaker David Earnhardt, and nearly 80 other leading voting rights advocates and sign the “No More Stolen Elections” Pledge. The No More Stolen Elections Pledge is designed to mobilize concerned citizens in preparation for a possible repeat of Florida, 2000, and Ohio, 2004. It states:
“I remember Florida 2000 and Ohio 2004, and I am willing to take action in 2008 if the election is stolen again. I support efforts to protect the right to vote leading up to and on Election Day, November 4th. I pledge to join nationwide pro-democracy protests starting on November 5th, either in my community, in key states where fraud occurred, or in Washington, D.C.. I pledge: No More Stolen Elections!”
John Nichols writing in The Nation recently explained his reasons for signing the pledge, writing that, “The 2000 presidential election was an in-broad-daylight assault on both the concept of democracy and its practice in the United States.”

It is critical that on Nov. 5th - if there is the same kind of disenfranchisement documented in Uncounted - that we citizens descend en masse to either DC or to the states where abuses occurred AND be prepared to camp out & stay until a FAIR election or recount is held OR, if foul play can be shown/proved, stay until any necessary legal action is taken.
Has there been any cooperative planning between all progressive groups so that the maximum number of citizens can be reached?
