I'm sure most of you have heard about this already -- you may even have gotten the action alert to which this diary refers. But have you done anything about it? Here is something that will require only a moment your time. More below the fold...
While the folks in Sarasota, FL are holding an actual rally, (thanks JR for the live blog diary!) Common Cause is holding a virtual rally -- and we are all invited!
Sunday, December 3, 2006: Right now, crowds are gathering at Sarasota's Bayfront Park. They're not out for a Sunday stroll, and they're not tossing footballs. They're rallying for a revote in a congressional election which failed to register 18,000 votes.Yep, you heard it right. 18,000 votes lost, in a very tight race, and Jeb Bush, who oversees certification of Florida's elections, still hasn't agreed to hold a revote. Not all of us can be in Sarasota today. That's why Common Cause is holding a virtual rally, so you can voice your outrage right where you are, right now.
Jeb Bush has refused to take steps to rectify this denial of the vote to these 18,000 voters. Please sign on to the petition urging him to fix this problem.
Stay strong!
