Getting Serious
Nov. 8th, 2000 08:01 amOk folks
I realize all of this maybe a little premature
as Florida hasn't finalized yet
I want to be ready to roar out of the gates
with this movement immediately
should it become necessary
by necessary I mean that a situation should develop
where the popular vote of the nation is countermanded
by the electoral votes, not that Gore loses
Basically the way I see progressing
is this:
I am in the process of registering a website/domain
dedicated to this concept
I will be meeting with my attorneys as soon as it can be arranged
to create a non-profit organization to be our flag, and create an account with a bank in the name of this organization
(also to cover my ass and make sure this doesn't end up getting me arrested)
Monies will be needed to cover the legal defense and cost/fees or judgements
against any Electors who we can sway and pay for the expenses related to
this effort (domain registration, webhosting, DNS listing etc)
I have already secured pledges of donations from several individuals
and will make up any shortfalls personally.
I will be drafting a statement of purpose
for the organization and a press release to that effect
anyone who has contacts within the media or public relations firms
please contact me to see how we can get more publicity
I want to be completely ready for this to move within 48 hours
until then it will be a word of mouth action
getting people ready and excited about the idea
An Important note on approach
The People of this nation, voted by a margin of approximately 200,000 votes
to elect one of the candidate to the office of President, 1000 people in Florida should not
be able to counteract the votes of the nation.
This is not about finding a way to
sneak Gore into office
This is about the overall rights of the people of this nation to have their votes counted and mean something, and not letting a few people, by chosen only by circumstance, override the wishes of the nation as a whole.
