Dear Democrats Afraid of Looking Bad in light of Fraud Allegations,
The fact is, there is a recount that will happen now, thanks to help from our Libertarian and Green, yes, I want you to repeat after me, FRIENDS. This needs to be celebrated and talked about- what a great day for democracy! The world will thank us for this cooperative democratic effort, but we need to pound the pavement right now. We need to get this in the news. We need to combine our voices into harmony, away from the silly fraud debate that has stolen our attention from the real prize here: democracy.
I will admit it: I do not care who won. Not nearly as much as I care that the votes are actually all counted. I can live under a Kerry or Bush presidency. But I cannot tolerate this democracy falling apart, so I want this recount to happen fairly and accurately. I want there to be a Green, a Libertarian, a Democrat, a Republican, and a news cameraman at every counting room. I want the process to be transparent.
For that prize, I make this promise: that after fighting for an accurate recount, I will fight more to keep it in the news and under the spotlight. Whatever it takes to keep it honest. And then, I will respect the results. Only then. I ask you to work with me, not against me, on this. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kumar Plocher
A progressive in favor of democracy |
