Subject: From Ralph Nader to Terry McAuliffe: "Stop Democratic Party Dirty Tricks" Author: chadi [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:39:25 07/31/04 Sat Ralph Nader to Terry McAuliffe: Stop Democratic Party dirty tricks trying to keep the Nader-Camejo Campaign off the ballot. July 30, 2004 Terry McAuliffe, Chairman Democratic National Committee 430 S. Capitol St. SE Washington, DC 20003 Dear Mr. McAuliffe: I am writing to request that you stop Democratic Party officials, state Democratic partisans, corporate lobbyists, and law firms from inappropriately and maliciously taking steps to keep the Nader-Camejo ticket off the ballot. I was disturbed to read press reports from the Democratic Convention that indicated sessions were held at the convention to plan a national campaign to keep Nader-Camejo off the ballot and limit the choices of voters. As this coordinated conspiracy by the Democratic Party to keep Nader-Camejo off the ballot unfolds, you should be aware that these efforts will all land at your door. Among the actions taken by the Democrats: ·Harassment, threats, and abuse of Nader-Camejo petitioners Attempting to spoil a ballot access convention in Oregon by sending Democrats in to fill the room and undermine the convention by swelling the numbers and then not signing the petitions ·Using Howard Dean to keep us off the ballot - even though on July 9, in a debate with me, he said: “I refuse to participate in anything like that, because I don’t appreciate that. Some of my former staff members are doing that. I told them I wasn’t going to have anything to do with them.” Yet when the Nader-Camejo Campaign held ballot access conventions in Oregon, Dean, according to reporters, called reporters on both days in order to suppress turnout ·Using state employees, contractors, and interns who work for the State of Illinois' Democratic Speaker of the House to review and challenge signatures on Nader-Camejo ballot access petitions ·Hiring corporate law firms to harass our ballot efforts on frivolous and technical grounds I am writing you to once again request that you disavow these dirty tricks and tell Democratic Party officials and their allies to stop their efforts to keep the Nader-Camejo Campaign off the ballot. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Ralph Nader http://www.votenader.org/ Nader for President 2004, © 2004 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
