Thursday January 6th at the Rally to Defend Democracy at the Federal

Capitol in Washington DC. 51capitalmarch is sponsoring Save Our Votes

March, From Selma to Ohio to Washington a re-enactment the 1965 Selma to

Montgomery March for voting rights. The following is a brief description

of that march: On " Bloody Sunday, " March 7, 1965, some 600 civil rights

marchers headed east out of Selma on U.S. Route 80. They got only as far

as the Edmund Pettus Bridge six blocks away, where state and

local lawmen

attacked them with billy clubs and tear gas and drove them back into

Selma. Two days later on March 9, Martin Luther King, Jr., led a

" symbolic " march to the bridge.

 

Then civil rights leaders sought court protection for a third,

full-scale march from Selma to the state capitol in Montgomery. " On

Sunday, March 21, about 3,200 marchers set out for Montgomery, walking

12 miles a day and sleeping in fields. By the time they reached the

capitol on Thursday, March 25, they were 25,000-strong. Less than five

months after the last of the three marches, President Lyndon Johnson

signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The Rally: At 10 A.M. on Janaury 4th, there will be a " Save Our Votes

Rally " , featuring Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr. Th

is will

be at the intersection of

Route 32 and Route 1, Savage, Maryland (Just below Baltimore,

Maryland). The aMarch: March will commence immediately after the Rally.

Covering 25 miles in 2 1/2 days, the march will begin outside Baltimore

on January 4th at 10AM in Savage Maryland (intersection of Route 32 and

Route 1). The march will follow Route 1, ending at the Federal Capitol

in Washington DC for the Rally in Defense of Democracy on January 6th.

We need as many people as possible to join us that morning and march the

last 2 to 3 miles to the Upper Senate Park, where we will join the

Defend Democracy Rally and Vigil on the west side of the Capital at

10:00 a.m. Here are some details of the planned march: We will provide a

large heated event tent for the overnight campers, as well as other

necessities. We welcome any and all marchers, you may march as little or

as long as you would like. People may choose to march during the day and

make their own arrangements at night, camping is not req uired to

participate in the march. Even if you only march for one day or one

hour, we need you to help us fight for our democracy. If you can't join

the march on January 4th and 5th, please join us on the morning of the

6th and march to the Capital and take part in the rally planned there.

We need to show strength in our numbers to encourage our representatives

to fully investigate this election and to fight for total election

reform. We hope this will grow to be a very large group by the time we

reach the Capital, just as it did in 1965 in Montgomery. This

re-enactment could be a spotlight on the sham of an election held on Nov

2nd, 2004. Please see http://www.51capitalmarch.com/index.html for more

details. We hope you can join us and make history! Details will be

provided on the message board:

January 6th is a critical date in American history. It is the last

chance this country has to preserve its democracy. If Senators and

Congresspeople do not stand up and do the right thing that day,

democracy is over in the nation that introduced it to the modern world,

and our descent into dictatorship will have been completed.

If the small group of ultra right wing traitors presently in control of

the Senate, the House, the Presidency, the Judiciary, the Press, and the

manufacture of deliberately unverifiable voting machines, is permitted

to stage a second coup d'etat, there will never be " election reform " ;

this crowd has made it abundantly clear that it respects power, not law.

It will have become impossible to rid our nation of this cancer through

the electoral process.

 

I urge everyone to stay focused on the 2004 election, and to do

everything he or she can between now and January 6th to fight for the

true outcome of that election. Everybody who possibly can should go to

the January 3rd rally in Columbus, Ohio, with Rev. Jesse Jackson,

participate in the January 4th - January 6th " Selma to Montgomery " March

from Baltimore, Maryland to Washington, DC, and join those who are

traveling from all across the country to attend the Defend Democracy

Rally and Vigil outside the United States Senate on January 6th.

 

 

" It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who

cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide

everything " .

---- Joseph Stalin

 

" If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier,

just so long as I'm the dictator. " - George W. Bush (December 18, 2000)

 

" Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the

bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do

is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists

for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

It works the same way in any country. "

- Hermann Goering, Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, 1945

 

" Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that

matter. " --Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

There is one force in the nation that can be depended upon to keep the

government pure and the governors honest, and that is the people

themselves.

They alone, if well informed, are capable of preventing the corruption

of power,

and of restoring the nation to its rightful course if it should go

astray. They alone

are the safest depository of the ultimate powers of government. "

 

--Thomas Jefferson
