I am reposting this because the last one got too long and muddled with endless debate. Let's try to keep this focused on the fundraising effort folks. NOTE: This is NOT about overturning the election results. This is about fighting for the civil right of having a transparent & reliable voting system. If you need to debate this, please make a new diary.
( p.s in the last thread, I realize I was as guilty as anyone in getting caught up in some of the debate )
As of this posting Cobb & Badnarik have raised $71,268 & ( last updated Friday, so it's got to be more now ) rising, with the goal of $150,000 by Monday. We can make this goal a reality.
Kossacks have been an invaluable asset to this drive and I thank each and every one of you for pitching in
I am reposting this thread, as the one that was up yesterday is no longer in the Recommended list. Please Recommend this diary to keep the drive alive.

11/11 - David Cobb and Michael Badnarik, the 2004 presidential candidates for the Green and Libertarian parties, today announced their intentions to file a formal demand for a recount of the presidential ballots cast in Ohio.
"Due to widespread reports of irregularities in the Ohio voting process, we are compelled to demand a recount of the Ohio presidential vote. Voting is the heart of the democratic process in which we as a nation put our faith. When people stand in line for hours to exercise their right to vote, they need to know that all votes will be counted fairly and accurately. We must protect the rights of the people of Ohio, as well as all Americans, and stand up for the right to vote and the right for people's votes to be counted. The integrity of the democratic process is at stake," the two candidates said in a joint statement.
