Is this the opportunity we can all get behind?

The Cartr-Baker faux Election Reform Commission holds their next (and last) hearing on June 30th at Rice University in Houston, Texas (the belly of the Beast, so to speak). Is this something we can and should use to bring the movement out of the closet? Here's a proposal to do just that:

1. A Counter-Commission Election Justice Hearing in Houston on June 29th followed by a mass demonstration (2) the next day when the Carter-Baker Selection Reform Commission meets at Rice University?

3. Start the weekend before with a series of working committees to prepare hearing reports covering:
Election Fraud investigative findings
Election litigation report
Election Suppression report
Electronic Voting report
Election Exit Polls analysis
Election Reform report
Restore Democracy Activism report

4. Follow up with an Activist conference (Friday & Saturday) to map out the movement's future steps.

Do you think we could get the 100+ Election Justice activist organizations behind this?
