2. I wrote him too
The article is a few days old, but it's important that we contact the few reporters who are handling this. I don't really like the tone of the article, but at least he's aware of the issue. From my letter to him:

"I begin by thanking you, as a member of the mainstream media, for
reporting on this topic. There is some serious action being taken, and I think the American people should be more concerned then they are about the issue of election fraud. Unfortunately, if no one talks
about it, this concern will not develop.

That said, I am a little disappointed that you did not put the Ohio
story in the context of the bigger picture. Instead you treated this
as an isolated situation. There were many anomalies in the voting
process this year, in many states. Ohio happens to be the one gaining
the most momentum for the fair election movement (and rest assured -
this is a movement. It will not end anytime soon, and it is about MUCH MORE than getting Kerry in office).
You discuss '2 groups' involved in this. I think you forgot to mention the most important group involved - the
House Judiciary Committee is requesting a full investigation by the
GAO into irregularities in the election this year. Rep. John Conyers
is also leading a forum to discuss the issue (see press release):

Please dig deeper into this story, and please continue to report on
it. This is vital to our democracy. Our election process is deeply
flawed, and it has been for some time. We need the media to play their part of finding TRUTH about our nation's politics. We need you to investigate."


Please email this guy, everyone. We need to get everyone to keep reporting on it, to let them know it is important. We also have to help them find the right info. This warped world of information flow really is changing journalism. We need to BE THE CHANGE!!
