Dear Friends:
What we have feared most seems now to be happening.
The following clippings should give a chill down every American's
spine: The man in the White House, who has made a career of deception
and power grabs, is maneuvering to delay the presidential elections.
The groundwork for this treachery was laid last week when the
Administration suggested that Al Qaeda would target the conventions or
the election.
Certainly, no one has better access to the bin Laden family than the
Bush family, so they just might know something.
But to delay the election? Really!
If there is a concern, urge Americans to vote by mail. All the states
are equipped to handle that.
Why does that not occur to the Administration? It is a dark question,
indeed.
Is there a real threat of terrorism, or is it an attempt to delay the
election until Bush's numbers improve, and to get American's to rally
'round the Commander in Chief? Or is it both? We would never dare ask
such questions of any other president in our long history.
What must we do?
First, call your Senator and your Representative first thing Monday,
and call them all. Demand an investigation of what the Bush
Administration knows about any possible attack. The Administration does
not have our trust and must disclose what they know to the bipartisan
Senate Intelligence Committee immediately.
Second, call your voter registration office and order your ballot by
mail. If it is too early to order your general election ballot, make a
note of the proper date and put it on your calendar.
Third, listen to the call-in radio shows in your town. Even if they are
right wing shows, call in and voice your concern. Use the mail-in
ballot issue.
Forth, write a letter to the editor of your paper, and send it in by
email.
Fifth, sign up to MoveOn and other orgs that may be in a position to
move people to action quickly. Keep an eye on ACLU websites and my own,

it is available.)
