Votersunite, a bipartisan organization, has called for a Nation-wide recount.

"November 21, 2004 -- Sparked by several disturbing reports from voting precincts throughout the United States, especially Ohio, Votersunite.com is launching a presidential recount. We were ready to put the election behind us, but since the election we have been overloaded with emails from concerned voters who won't let us, and keep reminding us of the 2000 Election. We believe a recount is inevitable and might be in the best interest of this politically torn country.
(continued below)
So on Monday November 22 votersunite.com is officially launching a presidential recount effort between George Bush and John Kerry. More than anyone we want to put this election to rest, and hope that this recount will help several of our readers have closure. Our goal is to have 100,000,000 votes by January 1, 2005 to see who really won the popular vote. We believe the internet recount will give a good reflection of how the public voted and hopefully allow an outlet for the ubiquitous Michael Moore "slackers" who did not make there way to the polls this year."""
I urge all of you to support this endeavor and to suggest to them the theme that we have discussed here at dKos of "Prove My Vote Counts, Now"
I would hope that a full dialogue can ensue here on the Votersunite effort.
I would also hope that for all of you who have been writing letters, making calls, speaking with family and friends that you will see in the Votersunite endeavor a mechanism for us to deliver the simple message:
American citizen, do you know if your vote was counted as you intended it to be.
American citizen, do you know that 30 % of you used a technology that has no verifiable record of how you intended to vote.
American citizen, would you put your money in a bank or use a credit card that didn't verify, penny by penny, the status of your account.
American citizen, pick up the phone and call your friends, your Congress representatives, your newspapers, your TV/radio stations, your President and ask `Prove to me my vote was counted the way I intended it to be; Just Prove it.'

I would also hope that perhaps the Votersunite endeavor would be something the senior members of the dKos community will consider for sustained and visible dialogue, strategy planning, and input of suggestions as well as advocacy should it be deemed appropriate.
Thank you.
"It's about America" -- currently being treated by many who care deeply about it.
