I'm passing this along from

wild_irises for those who may not have read this post. To my vast and mighty readership in California (and you weak and slender ones as well), I give you greetings. There is a small but important piece of activism that you can help with Right Now. Please get on the horn and give a call to Barbara Boxer. According to Skippy she's indicated willingness to serve as the necessary senator to stand up with Representative John Conyers and to initiate an investigation into the 2004 election results. That is, she's willing if she gets enough feedback. Let's give the woman some encouragement, eh, gang? This matters because even though it won't overturn this year's results, if there is sufficient evidence of either fraud or systemic failures that disenfranchise voters it will serve as documentary evidence to get the damn' process cleaned up for 2006, 2008, and beyond. One person, one vote, and every vote counted. If it's good enough for South Africa and Ukraine, it's good enough for us.

Heck, even if you're not from California, give the Boxer offices a call. There's nothing like bowling them over with enthusiasm. Just ask my dog.

For a list of contact info for Boxer, just click through either the Boxer or the Skippy links. Happy activism, campers. Act now, act without thinking, and all that jazz.
