Four years ago, Americans were swindled by a stolen
election that allowed Bush to lead us deeper into disastrous
war. Nearly half of the six million American voters living abroad never
received their ballots. Registrations were shredded. Faulty voting
equipment destroyed about one million ballots--roughly one for every
100 cast.
We have less than two weeks left
before this historic election, an enormous opportunity to push to end
the war in Iraq and prevent future wars, and
we must be prepared to ACT in case it's determined by fraud, not the
will of the people. The polls may be looking positive for
peace voters, but we can't let ourselves get complacent, and we certainly cannot let history repeat
itself!
CODEPINK is part of a national effort called No More
Stolen Elections. This group has been
monitoring conditions and pressing for more voting machines and
election staff in key precincts where past problems have occurred. On election night, we will have
a group of experts pronounce their views on the fairness of the
elections. If there is significant fraud, we
will mobilize, nationwide, starting November 5.
 Sign up here to
pledge to take action, starting November 5, if there is a stolen
election. We will be mobilizing in communities across the country, as
well as in key states where fraud occurred and in Washington D.C.

This time, let's make sure we're ready. This
time, let's make sure we act swiftly and decisively. This time, there's
too much at stake. Together, let's pledge "No More Stolen Elections!"
With determination,
Dana, Deidra, Desiree, Farida, Gael,
Gayle, Jean, Jodie, Liz, Lori, Medea, Nancy, and Rae
