		A CORRUPT ELECTION = A CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION

We must not allow the 2000 Presidential Election to be stolen!  We need your
voice and your body to help us register our opposition to the perversion of
the democratic process.  We are planning to send a strong and positive message
by partading dressed as judges and the lost ballots. Our intention is to
walk in costume (costume details below**) from Federal Plaza to the Federal
Building carrying large ballots and distributing lyrics. We will be singing
a rewrite of "Stop in the Name of Love" by the Supremes.  The refrain:
(please learn it now!)
		Stop in the name of Law
		You've pulled a coup d'etat
		Count it oh-ohver

    AMERICA MUST LIVE UP TO ITS PROMISE OF FREEDOM AND EQUALITY FOR ALL.

Of 45,000 undercounted votes in Florida, the vast majority came from
African-American districts.  This is an OUTRAGE!

bushwhacking.net is a network and forum for the development of creative
responses that reflects the will of the people in contrast to the last

developed, will allow citizens from across the country to share ideas and
