>Hello,

>It has been reported on CNN today (Nov. 27 2000) that 60% of Americans 
>think Al Gore should stop his fight - now all other media outlets are 
>picking up this poll and running with it.
>
>WE MUST STOP THIS SPIN NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
>
>IF you are someone that believes there is a real and right fight still to 
>be fought by the democrats - if you feel that they should not give up now - 
>please add your name to this list.

>Don't let the Republican spin and the news media win this battle. We need 
>to show our support for the democratic process which means that all votes 
>must be fairly and accurately counted.  PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY 
>SUPPORTERS AS POSSIBLE!
>
>Let us remember the basic facts: Al Gore was said to have won the state of 
>Florida based on exit polls on election night, Al Gore is ahead in the 
>popular vote by almost 300,000 votes, there are 1000s of votes that sit 
>still never counted in the state of Florida. Al Gore is the most likely 
>winner of this election if all the votes are properly counted.
>
>There has been a rush to finish this process by the Bush Campaign not 
>because the American people are impatient but because they do not want all 
>the votes to be counted. Thus they are cleverly trying to declare this 
>desire for a quick finality to this election as the will of the people. 
>They have been slowly spinning this tale since the day after the election. 
>Don't let this spin persist. We must stop it in its tracks by making 
>ourselves heard!
>
>Last night – shortly after declaring victory Bush appointed Cheney the head 
>of the transition team. Cheney quickly asked for funds from the General 
>Services Administration in order to proceed with the transition. The GSA 
>denied this request, saying the election is still undecided. In response to 
>this the Bush Camp is proceeding with private funding. If this were any 
>other country we might even call this a coup d'etat.
>
>Fight on!
>
>Revote00

>P.S.
>CALL YOUR LOCAL DEMOCRATS
>CALL YOUR CONGRESS MEN AND WOMEN
>CALL YOUR GOVERNORS AND SENATORS
>TELL THEM YOU SUPPORT GORE   [well -- ed.]
>TELL THEM YOU WANT THEM OUT THERE FIGHTING FOR THE TRUTH
>
>We urgently need as many names as possible - so remember to pass this on!

Gridlock now!
