Saturday 11/11 Pro-Democracy Protests: 1PM
11/11 AND 11/18
If election "irregularities" in one state are allowed to invalidate the nation's
popular vote, then democracy is in real trouble. This site is a listing of protest
locations for Saturday 11/11 & 11/18, 1PM. Check the list and email
countercoup@yahoo.com to nominate a site in your city. Response to this
idea has been enormous. Traffic to the site is doubling each day. Show up to
the protests with (or without) signs, bullhorns, and cell phones to call friends
and your local media. Call the media NOW so they know this is happening and start
talking about it: cbs 212-975-4321, abc 212-456-7777, nbc 212-664-4444, cnn

The nightmare has come true: A candidate has won the popular vote but
lost the White House. Even worse, it looks like election fraud and error in
Florida is responsible. There are two possibile solutions:
First, It is important to understand that the constitution DOES NOT require
the electoral college to vote state-by-state using a "winner take all" system.
It is perfectly constitutional for the electors to represent the popular vote.
Bush should step down and ask electors to cast their vote for Gore. If the guy
who got the most votes doesn't win, then IT ISN'T DEMOCRACY!
Of course we can't count on Bush to do that, therefore a revote should be
held in Palm Beach County, where over 19,000 Gore voters' ballots were
thrown away. Bush's lead in Florida is less than 2,000 votes.
We The People need to show the media and the parties that this will not stand. Below is a list of
protest sites for this Saturday; this list is growing so check back if your city isn't here.
Make signs, show up, bring friends, call your local newspapers and TV stations, and demand ONE
PERSON, ONE VOTE!

When Slobodan
Milosevic clung to
power after a narrow
election defeat,
thousands of
protesters rallied in
every Yugoslav city,
forcing him to give
up. Wouldn't it be
ironic if democracy
was today stronger
in Serbia than in the
USA?
This Web site is simply a listing of protest sites. It is just an effort to facilitate spontaneous, decentralized protests in the
event of a popular vote/electoral college split.
