Major media BLOCK Voter Fraud INFO

Letter from Roberta Cooper
coopcello@mindspring.com

Hello Family & Friends!

On Friday I received a phone call from a good friend who works at CBS -- I've
known her for years and she is a Producer for some of the news programs, one
well known one in particular. She tipped me off that the news media is in a
"lock-down" and that there is to be no TV coverage of the real problems with
voting on Nov. 2nd. She said similar "lock-down orders" had come down last year
after the invasion of Iraq, but this is far worse -- far scarier.

She said the majority of their journalists at CBS and elsewhere in NYC are
pretty horrified -- every one is worried about their jobs and retribution Dan
Rather style or worse. My source said they've also been forbidden to talk about
it even on their own time but she was pissed and her journalistic and moral
integrity as what she considers to be a gov't watchdog requires her to speak
out, even if covertly, and she therefore asked me to "spread" the word... She
said that journalism and the truth is at stake. She said another friend of
hers, a producer at MSNBC, said that an anchor by the name of Keith Olbermann had
brought it up on his show on Friday eve and the axe came down. He's at least
fighting back and talking about it on his "Blog", but she said that people
there are worried that he's going to be fired by higher ups.

She said at this point the only way that the "real news" was going to be
known is if the people started talking about it and made a big enough stink about
it to our elected officials, the FEC, and "noise" to the international media,
that our own media won't have any choice but to cover it. The only place
you'll see this talked about right now is on the internet and on AirAmericaRadio.

(BREAKING NEWS: Six congressmen have written the General Accounting Office
(GAO) to ask for an Election Probe. They are:

Jerry Nadler (New York) 202 225 5635
John Conyers (Michigan) 313 961 5670
Robert Wexler (Florida) 202 225 3001
Rush Holt (New Jersey) 202 225 5801
Robert Scott (Virginia) 202 225 8351
Melvin Watt (North Carolina) 202 225 1510

Nadler will appear on Charlie Rose Thurs night at 11, and did appear on, I
believe it was ABC yesterday or the day before (he told me where/when but I
didn't write it down).

CNN did a piece on vote fraud in Ohio and Florida last night on Newsnight
with Aaron Brown, broadcast at 10 PM and again at 1:22 AM. Dan Lothian was the
reporter. You might call these men and thank them for their effort, plus call
your own house/senate reps and ask them to add their names to the GAO letter.

especially the absentee, military and all provisional ballots counted and verified

9) Donate $5 to Bev Harris at http://www.blackboxvoting.org/  - she has been
filing 1000s of information requests under the "FOIA-Freedom of Information
Act" to account for the various voting machines across the country.

10) E-mail or Fax Ralph Nader -- Yep, you heard me, good ole Ralph.... here's
his opportunity to make up for any feelings of bad will after the 2000
election and the current one. Ralph has been a lifelong advocate for us, the
consumer and little guy and he is actually in the unique position right now to do
something since he was a Presidential candidate and has the ability to be
listened to. He has actually already filed a challenge in NH (not that he is
looking to overturn the results, but because he can prove there may have been bigger
problems and he qualifies there as having been on the ballot).
http://www.votenader.org/media_press/index.php?cid=400  Urge him to do this across the board
on a national level. Heck, the media seemed to have such a lovefest with him
before the election, could they possibly ignore him now? Contact Ralph at -
202-265-4000

11) Call/email Jimmy Carter at the Carter Center: carterweb@emory.edu  or
call at (800) 550-3560
Former President Jimmy Carter and the Carter Center are considered to be
the most experienced in the election process and conducting fair democratic
elections -- urge him to get involved and investigate possible fraud and the
unexplainable discrepancies throughout the election involving the computer voting
machines, especially in swing states.
