SIMULTANEOUS PROTESTS -- NY, OHIO. SEATTLE

[Karenca]

Main Stream Media attention....


Do you think we may get MSM attention if
we are able to coincide some large protests the same day in cities such as:


NY
OHIO (in a few counties)
SEATTLE. Etc.

I think it would be a great idea,

Thanks..Good Luck to us all!!

i was grabbing a sandwitch at specialties on market in san fran today and saw a group of about 30-40 people trying to raise attention and money for the cobb ohio recount. COOL! i hadn't heard anything about it previously though.....

4. I would love to participate

in a protest down here in Jeb Bush's Banana Republic

[Karenca]

5. I'm in NY

And I really want to do this....
we NEED to do this.
The only way I know how to organize anyone is getting my voice out on DU.
AND HOPEFULLY THROUGH ALL OF YOU WE CAN DO THIS.

We have to.

7. If we could do the protest on a

large scale, I beieve that would be the only way to get attention.
How do i go about organizing something like this?
Has anyone here organized a large protest?

8. Can't everyone join

the Ohio rally on Dec 4th?

10. I'm in!

11. Ohio rally?

There's really going to be a rally on the 4th? do you have a link to something talking about it? There have been a couple of planned rallies that have fizzled recently.

It'd be great! I'll be there!

12. Shine the light of truth on the fraudelent flip flopper in chief

throughout the holiday season.

Community vigils on a certain date organized by MoveOn? December 7th sounds like a good day to me. We can start with the truth of Pearl Harbor.

Ad campaigns on TV, radio and newspapers featuring parents/kids of 911 & Iraq victims. Use candles as our symbol of truth throughout the holiday season. Get people talking about truth ithroughout this season of light.

13. Ohio rally

Hi, yesterday on Laura Flanders and KPFT Susan Truitt a lawyer for CASE-OHIO said they are planning a rally on Dec 4 demanding a revote. It is not on the CASE website yet but you can go here http://www.kpftx.org/archives/kpftsignal/index.php and listen to yesterday's Sunday Monitor where she mentions this

15. dec 7th is a wonderful day

to do this.....
Now, How would someone like me, (no experience with something like this) get this together?
Any and all information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

14. I'm in for Seattle but it should be soon rather than later.

I think it should be before Dec. 4th.

How about the day after Thanksgiving, supposedly a big shopping day.
Meet in Westlake park, say 10 - 2? . It's big enough.

We'll feel better if we do something. Get your signs ready!

Remember we have the Governor's mess going on too so sooner rather that later is key.

Suggestions for good signs?

Anyone in?

Cheers

26. The fifth anniversary of WTO

is coming up soon....

[Kralizec]

16. Great Idea. I've been trying to get the idea of having one big

protest in DC or NY, but to have three big ones in those cities, along with smaller protests in lots of other cities, would be quite an attention getter. Time to get serious ppl!

17. Protesting and getting Mainstream attention

I'm new at this protesting business, but how do you usually plan to get the media's attention.

Do you let them know before hand that it's going to go on?

[Karenca]

20. Debbie....

Welcome to DU!

[Karenca]

18. Maybe a Saturday or Sunday is best.

A day when we can get a huge following...I need help though..Any ideas?

Electronic flyer going around SF
======================================================

► 50 million people - over 40 per cent of the actual electorate - voted on machines that leave no paper trail, machines programmed and operated by corporations allied with the Republican Party. Studies by computer experts showed these machines are easily hacked and that votes counted on them can easily be changed. How can we trust these results? http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=technologyNews&storyID=6172995

►UC Berkeley Professor of Sociology Michael Hout released a study showing that George Bush got an excess of 130,000 to 260,000 votes in just three Florida counties due to problems with electronic voting machines. http://ucdata.berkeley.edu/new_web/VOTE2004/index.html


► Exit polls showed Kerry winning nationwide by 51 – 48%. In swing states that use a lot of electronic voting, the final vote count swung to Bush by as much as 12%. But in states with mostly paper voting, the exit polls and final results matched within a couple of tenths of a percentage point, as they usually do. http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0411/S00270.htm

► This is not new, and it’s not limited to the presidency. In 2002 several popular and favored Democratic senators, including Vietnam war hero Max Cleland, were “shockingly defeated” after leading by 5-6% in the polls, in touch screen voting states. This happened again in 2004 in several states. http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0131-01.htm

We’re living in a Matrix fantasy world of manufactured votes and manufactured wars. Don’t let our democracy die in silence. It’s time to unplug and speak out. These machines have to go. Demand the media cover this story now!

24. Who's up for a protest/rally in Charlotte NC???

Who'd be interested in getting together in Charlotte on Friday the 26th outside of the WBTV news studio? The studio has a window behind the newscasters and the space outside for viewers to look in is a large sidewalked area. You can't beat media coverage like that with thousands of signs and supporters on the air as they report the news. That would be Friday at 12:00 when everyone who works in the area could get there during there lunchtime and others can drive in. The web page for the station says it's at Center City Studio, I'm not sure of the exact location but I'm thinking that's on Tryon (can someone confirm if that's an uptown location?). (An alternate date could be Monday the 29th if you feel uptown will be deserted for Thanksgiving).

http://www.wbtv.com/about_us/index.cfm Click on the link under 'studio' to see the viewer area I'm talkig about.

I'm not able to start a topic, does anyone know how/where I can get the word out to get as many people as possible out there? Other forums? Thanks very much.


(I'm just tired of waiting and wondering and ready to GO!!!)

[rosyhue]

21. sorry, I didn't realize this thread was here

so I added to the first protest thread. Now we have two lol

remember the rules: public sidewalk, no amplified devices = no permit. We could throw something together very quickly, without much hassle at all. Wouldn't even need a website.

[Karenca]

22. ROSIE...

LET ME KNOW HOW .....PLEASE!

[rosyhue]

23. first we decide upon a date

certainly we can do that here?
sounds as if people want to do it in conjunction with the DEC 4 Ohio protest. Makes sense. If Dec 4 is ok for enough people we then decide on where we want to gather in Manhattan and any other city which wishes to participate. We have this site to pull together on. One step at a time, though. First we must decide if DEC 4th is what we all want.

[Karenca]

25. OK Dec. 4th

.... sounds good...

Now I need help organizing this.
Any help..please?

[rosyhue]

27. I'll help - Dec 4th sounds good

this really wouldn't be hard. Here's my thoughts:
1)refer to the protest as the "Dec 4 Election Fraud Protest" from here on out.
2)we must decide where to gather in NYC
3)other cities who wish to participate must decide on the same, in their regions
4)announce the date & meeting places here, at this site

Once those steps are taken we work on email notifications to remind people about the protest. Perhaps several individuals from this site can post email addresses here - addresses they've created specifically for the Dec 4th Protest. Interested participants could receive updates & a simple message about the event. (We don't have to bonkers marketing this. Simplicity will work). First we have to accomplish steps 1-4, though
