Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 I sincerely hope that those 100 protestors, of whom I am proud, regroup, and each of them find 10 others to join them, and continue their protest, while continuing to increase their numbers. Nothing is more important than contesting the legitimacy of the election, and nothing is more obvious to anyone that does more than glance and turn away, that the election was rigged. We may not have the resolve, the courage and staying power, to keep this protest alive, but its good knowing that, for a short time, the mis-election aroused some brave Americans to fight back.
