[Fwd: [deep-l] Fwd: Notes From the Trail - Dec 29 '04]

HI all,

I'm forwarding a call to urge Senators to vote against the certification of the vote on January 6. I've just called the offices listed below. A number of them are already closed for the holidays, but Feingold, Kennedy and Leahy are still open today (dec 30) and have staff taking messages.
The offices of Senator Byrd and Harken had the possibility to leave a msg.

Here's the latest on who's likely to respond, and following that, the full text of the message from Steve Bhaerman (aka Swami Beyondananda) listing various findings and articles about the evidence of vote-fraud in Ohio. The articles he's linked are VERY good. Check them out.

best,
Kristin
