I received this today and would like to pass it on to our Dkos community. The Rally will be held this Saturday Dec. 4 in Columbus, Ohio. I wish I could go, there are a couple of great speakers and I am sure it would be energizing. Shall we push the media to cover this or will the Ohio Recount remain 'our little secret'? If anyone does go please report back to us...

RALLY! "Investigate all 88 counties, Litigate, Re-Count, Recuse"
Saturday, December 4th, Columbus, OH
1:00 PM, Ohio Statehouse Lawn
East Broad & South High Streets, Columbus, Ohio
We demand that every vote be counted accurately from the Nov 2nd election. We
demand a full re-count of Ohio's votes and a thorough investigation of all
reported irregularities and discrepancies and charges of voter
disenfranchisement throughout the state. The right to vote is a civil right and
in a democracy no abridgement of that right can be tolerated. In Kiev, hundreds
of thousands of demonstrators are on the streets, staying there overnight in
the bitter cold, bringing the government to a halt and the world to attention,
refusing to let democracy die. There are people coming to Ohio from all over
the country for this rally. Let's do this.
SPEAKERS: Greg Palast (journalist and author of The Best Democracy Money Can
Buy), Bill Moss (former Columbus school board member), Bob Fitrakis (Columbus
Free Press), Reuben Herrera (Adelante - Latino/Latina Democrats), Anita Rios
(Green Party), Cliff Arnebeck (lead litigant in the Contest of Election suit),
Jad Hummeidan (Council on American Islamic Relations), Petey Talley (Ohio
AFL-CIO) (invited), Charleta Tavares (Columbus City Council member) (invited)
