Below is the text of the e-mail I just sent to the UK Herald. A couple of days ago, I sent them the .pdf files of the Arnebeck suit and links to David Cobb's testimony from Monday.

Anybody else want to help encourage them to carry the story? I'm not going to post this person's direct e-mail address here, but the newsdesk is at news@theherald.co.uk

-------------------------

Dear ********,

Thank you for your response, and I understand the space limitations.

Because there have been further important developments since my first e-mail, I am providing the URL for the House Judiciary
Committee Democratic Members' website (http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/ )

The site contains pdf files of a letter requesting an FBI investigation into election tampering ( http://www.house.gov/
judiciary_democrats/brockbealohelecltr121504.pdf ) as well as witness statements regarding the allegations ( http://www.house.gov/
judiciary_democrats/robersonquinnvoteinfo121304.pdf ).

Witness statements for the Congressional forums held on 8th and 13th December can be found at ( http://www.house.gov/
judiciary_democrats/voteforum.html ) and ( http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/voteforum2.html )

I hope you won't mind if I continue to send you updates on this fast-moving investigation as they occur.

Kind regards,
(Me)

Dear _______

Unfortunately we were not able to use story due to pressure on space. Would
like to thank you, however, for taking the time and trouble to alert us.

Best wishes

1. I got a similar reply from them
I've sent stories to them and the Guardian. Can keep trying, though!

2. The woman I talked to said she'd had some mail on it.
But I guess we haven't hit their threshold yet. It's strange, because the Herald has been very outspoken against *.

3. Maybe we need to "hit their threshold"
Sounds like an action item to me!

Didn't someone have a list of action items around here?
