Earlier today, Congressman Conyers joined Mr Olbermann on "Countdown."
I posted a brief "transcript" of Congressman Conyers comments here:

Mr Olbermann has posted the following:
"The ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee told us tonight on Countdown that he and others in Congress are considering formally challenging the slate of electors who cast Ohio's votes, when those votes are opened and counted before a joint session of Congress on January 6th.
"We're prepared to do that," Conyers said. "And we understand the law as well as you." After the on-air interview ended, the Michigan representative added that he and his colleagues had not yet decided whether or not to take the extraordinary constitutional step, and he had not sought the support of a Senator who would have to co-sign the challenge."

Having reflected, all day, on the exceptional dKos Diary "Folks Don't Get It" by shanikka, my resolve to see the 'national election of 2004' halted on 6 Jan 2005 transformed to "do or die."
I sent the following message to several colleagues:
We truly need millions of our fellow citizens in DC on 6 Jan.
I know we will join, together on that day, with responsible members of the HR and the Senate and halt the fraudulent national election of 2004.
We will halt it on 6 Jan 2005. That MUST BE THE TARGET DAY for the most massive demonstration in American history -- a demonstration that asserts conclusively that "we the people" will not tolerate anything but a HALT to the farce, the brutal, systematic attack on our fellow citizens in their effort to "form a more perfect union" -- to vote and know their vote was recorded as they intended.
We will remedy the situation by providing to each of our fellow citizens who are eligible to vote an equitable access to do just that -- vote.
We will ensure that each voter has a mechanism to ensure that their vote is counted exactly as they intend it to be.
We will save our American franchise of democracy.
We will bring joy and hope to all of humanity because of our actions between now and 6 Jan 2005, and every day thereafter.
We will never forget the peril to our Constitution, our freedom that we confronted together and resolved -- we will have lived and sacrificed in the honor of all those whose ideals and sacrifices have graced each of us and for whom we now must prove our gratitude.
We will prevail.
Peace.
"I'm an American patriot, not a pro-fraud theocrat" -- and, you betcha I approve of this message and will die making it stick, if that is what must happen.
