My email to Mr. Olbermann
Dear Mr. Olbermann:

I have an idea for proving the voting irregularities in the counties you suggested are overwhelmingly Democrat, but voted overwhelmingly for Mr. Bush. I noticed there were only 6,000-7,000 voters in many of those precincts. In one, Sen. Kerry received only 1,959 votes. Is it possible to request a record of who voted and then send investigators to each of the voters and see if they will sign affidavits confirming their presidential vote? It seems to me that if you get more than 2,000 voters who sign affidavits that they voted for Sen. Kerry then your story has even more immediate legs.

Thanks for you hard work and dedication. I can sense that you have the same skepticism that I have as well.

God Bless You!

6. Kerry retained thousands of lawyers. I'm sure a guy with millions could
scrape up the cash for democracy's sake. Unless of course he doesn't care about democracy.

2. Not likely
Speaking from my experiences working on the campaign, the chances of getting 2000 Ohioans (or others for that matter) to tell a total stranger who they voted for is pretty slim.

3. You're a D who voted for Kerry
I sure as hell would tell. Keith Olbermann can pay for it with the $90,000 he didnt spend buying the Dildo Reilly tapes.

My thoughts on the questions posed.

7. I already did. Yesterday and today!
I congratulated him on staying with the story and said I thought he was brave.

I compared him to Woodward and Bernstein and said if he sticks with it, thirty years from now, people will still be talking about Keith Olberman.

8. A reply
to someone's post of why not to flood Plbermann's email. Thanks guys.

Word has it that NBC said they will only allow him to cover the story "while rating and interest is (and I quote) "damn good"!!!

If we shut it down that shows there is plenty of interest, many groups came together with this idea, and word has it the Olbermann team is "loving it" that the over loaded emails is their proof. So let's stop arguing for once among ourselves and keep the endless amount of emails being written to Olbermann and all the other media shows that pick up on Olbermann's success for carrying the story "no one was interested in carrying" Every day...all the time. With facts and opinions. We must be heard not passive. Please, I really believe in you guys, so less coming down on those trying, and help us make some noise, the many of us, individuals and groups. Email him everyday, get your friends and family to email him, this is truely one of many things we need to be doing.

9. I just realized I have about eight different email addresses
I'll email Keith from each of them. It will look like seven additional people who support him.

How many other people have numerous email address?

Don't have more than one . . . go, no run, to Yahoo! and sign up for a couple more. :bounce:

10. Maybe his box was full
but my e-mail to him was undeliverable.

I'm glad someone is on this. It would be a huge story, but it has to be investigated. Guess no one else in the media has the enery to pursue it.

And I rarely use that word. I'm sending the link to K.O.
