Newswire: Peter Deutsch to Assist Constitutional Challenge of Electors on Behalf of ReDefeatBush

Sat Jan 01, 2005 at 05:37:32 PM PDT


The Committee to ReDefeat the President, a federal PAC better known by the name of its popular ReDefeatBush.com Web site, has secured the assistance of Peter Deutsch, who will conclude his  tenure as a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives at noon on Monday, Jan. 3, 2005.  Deutsch will help ReDefeatBush and other organizations that are working on a Constitutional Challenge to the electoral votes of Florida, Ohio and potentially other states.

   Preparations are underway for a public forum on Wednesday afternoon at the Capitol at which Deutch will publicly question some of the key witnesses to activities that may have surpassed the boundaries of normal partisanship and crossed over into illegal activity in Florida.  In his preparation Deutsch has the assistance of Wayne Madsen, an experienced analyst and investigator who previously worked for the National Security Agency.

along with his reputation, Deutsch will have several tools to get this movement started:

- the cooperation of Congressman Tom Sawyer (D-OH) who was an elections monitor in the Ukraine

- A detailed report comming from Congressman Conyers

In order for these actions to be effective in creating an impact on the psyche of the average citizen, there must also be public support. A vital part of any movement is it's size, and it is now time for the people to act; it can not be just lawyers and politicians.

www.RedefeatBush.com has listed various events that will be taking place in January. I would encourage anyone who is able to attend these events to do so.
