A pledge for the Democratic hopefuls
I would really like to hear both Obama and Clinton pledge not to cede the general election to McCain under any circumstances. They must pledge to fight for victory until they win or lose legally, until every doubt has been quelled, every accusation examined, and every count or recount completed. If voting fraud is found serious charges must be brought.
This country has gotten into the habit of taking criminal politicians very lightly and this must change. This country deserves fair and free elections regardless of the expediency of political considerations. We will never know for sure if the last two elections were won fairly because of Gore and Kerry's lack of fortitude.
(Sorry Al, I know you were meant for bigger and better things than the mere Presidency of the United States, but you dealt your supporters a bad deal.)
If we allow the book to be closed on this issue we guarantee ourselves a future of vote stealing on the part of both parties. Even if both elections were legitimate they revealed considerable apathy from Americans on protecting their voting rights which is an invitation for corruption from our politicians.
Please post to this forum and contact your canidate in support of this pledge. Democrats must make it plainly clear that they won't stand for anything suspicious; otherwise they're begging for a suprise general election loss and many reports of voting problems in heavily Democratic districts in key states.
