[GreenYes] Environment and the Vote
- Subject: [GreenYes] Environment and the Vote
- From: Ann Schneider <schneiderann@juno.com>
- Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2001 13:51:12 -0800
Dear GRRN Members:
It is impossible to separate the rights of people from
the rights of the environment, and our duty to protect the
environment requires us to weigh in on human
injustices as well. If we cannot guarantee that building
grass roots support for environmental protection will
actually translate into success at the ballot box, through
voting on issues and candidates which support our values,
then democracy is meaningless, and the public education
we all undertake to encourage people to reduce waste can
be sabotaged at any point in the process.
Below is information about activities to express concerns
over the voting process. Feel free to forward this to your
friends, family and other listserves.
My Mom and I got a great flight out from San Francisco to
Baltimore so we can participate in our first civil rights
activity. Look for me at Dupont Circle and I hope you can
make it. - - - Sincerely, Ann Schneider
Counter Inauguration Voter March
10:00 am to 4:00 pm on January 20, 2001
Washington DC
Voter March is the Sponsor of the Inaugural Voter March,
www.VoterMarch.com, in Washington, DC on Saturday,
Jan. 20, 2001, for voter rights and election reform and to
protest the Inauguration resulting from election irregularities
and partisan power politics.
Where:
Dupont Circle – speakers, music & performances
March to the Capitol and the US Supreme Court
Why? To demonstrate the need for voter rights
and election reform and to show unhappiness of
the election process in Florida and with the
decision of the US Supreme Court
Who? ALL are invited to bring their friends,
homemade signs and warm clothes.
"History will have to record that the greatest tragedy
of this period of social transition was not the strident
clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence
of the good people."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He also said human progress is "neither automatic
nor inevitable. Every step toward the goal of justice
requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the
tireless exertions and passionate concern of
dedicated individuals."
Who is Organizing This Activity? VoterMarch
Thousands of us will be meeting at Dupont Circle In
Wash. DC at 10:00 am on Saturday, January 20th.
We will have a stage set up for our counter-inaugural
demonstration at Dupont Circle where we will have
various speakers and entertainment figures performing.
We will then have an organized protest march from
Dupont Circle to the Capitol and then to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
Voter March maintains a very active listserve (150+
messages/day) discussing this march and other rallies,
marches, actions and other activities related to election
reform and ensuring that the new administration behaves
in fair fashion. For more information on VoterMarch go to
www.VoterMarch.org or email info@votermarch.org for
more information.
The website includes the names and email addresses of
individuals who have agreed to coordinate activities in their
state and to help people get to Washington DC for the
Counter Inauguration.

CAN YOU OR YOUR GROUP SERVE AS AN ORGANIZING
CENTER FOR THE JANUARY 20 PROTEST AT THE
INAUGURATION?
We've heard from people from New York to California so
wherever you are, find the organizing center nearest you--
nd if there isn't one, set one up and organize buses, vans
and car caravans to getas many people as possible to DC
on January 20, 2001. Massive protests are expected on
that day. Serving as an organizing center in your area
would mean working with other people and groups in your
city, school, community, place of worship, union or workplace
to bring people to DC on January 20. Organizing tools are
available. We would list you on the www.VoterMarch.org web
site as a Local Organizer and could direct people in
your area to you.
If interested, contact Joel Landy, National Groups Coordinator
at VoterMarchDC@yahoo.com
A partial list of State Organizers can be found at the bottom
of this email message. Or check the website for more
updated information.

Ideas of Actions You Can Take Right Now
1. Write to Your Congressional Leaders *
2. Comment on Choices for Cabinet and Departments
3. Write or email national and local media about their
coverage or lack of coverage of this issue.
4. Writing protest messages on paper money. E.g., '
Bush is Bogus', ‘Count All The Votes’, etc. on one side.
5. Where an Orange (for Florida) or
Black (Death of Democracy) Ribbon
6. Drape black banners on trees on your property
7. Wear black arm bands
8. Put a Black Flag up on National Holidays
9. Fly the American Flag upside down on inauguration day
10. Write on your money: Gore Won, Bush Lost
11. Write on all the give away cards, direct mail and
blow in cards that you receive from the biased media:
Gore Won the Popular Vote; Gore Won Florida!
12. Let all the Votes Be Counted!" And send them back!
They pay the postage....
13. Put a message that Gore Won on your answering
machine; You can change text daily. Or do special blurbs
on Bush appointments; Artic drilling; The Florida vote theft;
Miami-Dade Republican storm troops; etc. Your choice.
14. Print out stamps from the online site www.Gorewon2000.net
and put them all over the place. Or you can do your own in
return label sizes ordered from your local fast turn-around printer.
15. Get a Gore Won bumper sticker. (some can be
downloaded for free.)
16. March, Demonstrate, Protest whenever, wherever you can.
17. Download some free Banner Art
18. Read a good book on preparing press releases and
start hitting on your media
19. Protest the sponsors on the biased media. But make up a
list of the president's of the sponsoring companies and let them
know why you are no longer going to buy their products! As an ad
man, I can tell you this will get attention!
20. Read Shrub or Fortunate Son by Hatfield & learn what you
are dealing with.
21. Join a Democratic Party near you.
22. Organize and start your own groups. Remember this country
was built on protests, some peaceful...
23. Educate your friends and neighbors as to what has really
happened to the vote and their freedoms...
24. Call in on those news shows that ask for voter opinions!
keep on them!
25. Wear clothes that show you are in mourning! Black
armbands, black outfits, whatever.
26. And contribute to the online community with your time, your
energies, your thoughts and your money.

LOCAL ORGANIZERS and GROUPS
The Voter egroup www.egroups.com/group/voter is one of the
most popular and fastest growing egroups. We are now
adding new Voter egroups for each of the 52 states, DC and
International. One of the primary objectives of the new state
egroups is to facilitate transportation to people who are
planning on attending the counter-inaugurals on
January 20, 2001 in Washington, DC.
All of these egroups are affiliated with the www.VoterMarch.org
website which is for voter rights and is sponsoring the Inaugural
Day Voter March which has a 2-part platform: (i) to seek real
election reform to curb the abuses and disenfranchisement
of voters that occurred during the Presidential 2000 election,
and (ii) to protest in the form of a counter-inaugural the
"coronation" that will occur as a result of serious election
irregularities and highly partisan U.S. Supreme Court
decisions which usurped the will of the people. The new
State Voter eGroups are as follows:
