[lbo-talk] Call on the Ohio Democratic and Green Parties to Demanda Recount!

[Yoshie Furuhashi]

>I sent an e-mail to the DNC and I got a thank you response within

>this year to help  them out and the fact that they could always 
>count on me time and time  again when asked. I have no idea what 
>they are referring to. It is an odd  form letter to make such 
>sweeping generalizations. I suggested Terry  McAuliffe resign if he 
>isn't going to ask for a full counting of all votes  and he thanks 
>me for it in a form letter.

>John Thornton

Phone calls and faxes are always better than email messages.  The 
best of all would be mass actions.  Activists in Washington D.C. and 
Massachusetts should be conducting sit-ins and the like at John 
Kerry's offices and holding rallies in front of them.

Activists in Ohio, New Mexico, and anywhere else the election was 
close can make mass visits to their state Democratic Party 
headquarters.  Are they willing?

Here's John Kerry's contact information for DC and MA activists:

To demonstrate that John Kerry and the Democratic Party won't respond 
to grassroots pressures would be great!
