On Jan. 6, Congress will hold a joint session to certify the 2004 presidential election. If one member of the House and one member of the Senate object to the certification of the vote, then all members of Congress would be required to finally discuss the election. In 2001, not a single Senator would join with the Representatives who demanded an inquiry into the Florida recount. This year, let's make Senators take a stand!Join Medea Benjamin, John Bonifaz, David Cobb, Rep. John Conyers (invited), Alysia Fischer, George Friday, the Rev. Jesse Jackson (invited), former Rep. Cynthia McKinney (invited), the Rev. Lennox Yearwood and many others as we rally at 10 a.m. at Lafayette Park across from the White House, followed by a march to Capitol Hill to hook up with a rally there.
As Congress meets inside the Capitol to tally the electoral college vote, We the People will protest outside, bringing attention to the disenfranchisement, suppression and fraud that pervaded the '04 election – and demanding real reforms to extend democracy in the U.S. Join in at noon on Thursday, Jan. 6, at the Upper Senate Park (Delaware Avenue and C Street NE).
