Center for Democracy and Election Management has responded. Suggestions? [View All]

Admittedly, it's a small start (the correspondence below). But they did respond positively (and with a personal answer).

Here are the type of questions I will be asking them now ( any other suggestions?):

- How were the members of the commission chosen?

- Why was there so little notice before the first hearing?

- Considering how much possible evidence of election fraud has been uncovered, why isn't the commission investigating it?

- Why are none of the qualified professionals (like Dr. Steven Freeman and/or the other PH d's who authored the most recent USCV report) being asked to be panelists at your hearings?
------------
I will ask these questions MOST politely, and ONLY send them to the email address Conyers requested (see below).

Have I "...established an open channel..." as Conyers put it? We will see. If not, I will set up an Express Blaster which has generated over 1,000 individual emailers in about 24 hours (C-Span blast for Conyer's Ohio Forum in December). But I will give them the benefit of the doubt first, and try to work with them.

"I would ask that you contact the commission only via the email box which they have established to receive your comments concerning the commission: [e-mail].

Subject: Request for transcript of Commission press statement and press conference

Although the panalist's testimony (and Q&A) was broadcast on C-Span, the 4PM press statement and press conference was not. Do you have the transcript or audio or video link available?

Thank you in advance.
