Let us all hope and pray that the situation described it the following letter does not come to pass:

Importance: High

I ask you to follow this advise and foreword this email to all Bush supporters.

United Republican Fund of Illinois Chicago

November 9, 2000

From: Joseph A. Morris, President

To: URF Leaders and Friends

Herewith is some practical advice on action that every citizen can take in the
event that the Florida recount confirms the election of George Bush, but Al Gore
fails to concede.

We all know what is going on in Florida, and that the election hinges on the
outcome. I am writing you today to prepare us all for what we will have to do if
what I think is going to happen actually does. The recount, which will be
finished by 5 p.m. Thursday, will likely show Bush to be the winner once again,
with only a few thousand overseas ballots to be counted. Those ballots will be
overwhelmingly for Bush, a minimum of 60% and probably closer to 75%. If the
count goes our way tomorrow, we have won this election.

This is when something critical happens. Either Gore bows out gracefully or he
doesn't, and I can almost guarantee he won't. These are people wedded to power
who will only go down kicking and screaming. They will use every legal maneuver
in the book to steal the election. (In 1960, when Richard Nixon had every right
and reason to challenge the election results he didn't for the sake of the
country. Expect no such noble behavior this time.)

What will they try? One bet is to find a friendly judge to throw out the Florida
results on a flimsy premise. They are already floating this as a trial balloon
in the form of the allegedly "confusing" ballots in Palm Beach County. I have
seen the ballots - they are not confusing in the least. Indeed, they are
identical in form to the punch-card ballots used in Chicago and Cook County,
Illinois, in this very election. What is more, it is just as likely that Palm
Beach County voters who wanted to vote for Bush inadvertently voted for Nader.
All parties approved the form of ballot before the election. The form-of-ballot
issue is a mere pretext for an effort a judicial invalidation of the Florida
election.

While I hope this scenario doesn't come to pass, I fear that it will, and it
will only have disastrous results for the country. The election fight could drag
on for months and actually be decided by a court! If this comes to pass the
vision of our Founders and the blood of patriots will have been betrayed.

Personally, I am not going to stand for this, and I hope you won't either.

The good news is that we are not without voice.

HERE IS WHAT MUST BE DONE: if the vote count affirms Bush's election, we allow a
short grace period to see the reaction of the Gore camp. If they have not
graciously conceded after a few hours, we must bombard the news media and our
public officials AT EVERY LEVEL with phone calls of outrage that demand Gore's
concession. I mean literally millions of phone calls. We must jam their phone
banks with calls.There are millions of us so it shouldn't be too difficult.
(While you're at it, send e-mails to your local newspapers as well.)

If it becomes widely reported - and it will - that there is a groundswell
demanding that Gore back down and not embarrass the country, it will be very
difficult for Gore to withstand the pressure. He will have to relent.

Here are some places to start:

The White House: telephone (202) 456-4114 FAX202)456-2461 e-mail
president@whitehouse.gov

The Vice President's Office: telephone202) 274-5000 FAX202) 456-2883 e-mail
vice.president@whitehouse.gov Vice President's Senate Office: telephone: (202)
224-2424

Senator Tom Daschle (Senate Democratic Leader): (202) 224-2321 Also: (202)
224-5556

Representative Dick Gephardt (House Democratic Leader): (202) 225-2671 Also:
(202) 225--0100

Also, be sure to call your congressmen and both your senators. All these numbers
are easily located on voter.com. You can also contact them through the U.S.
Capitol Switchboard:

U.S. Capitol Switchboard (all Senators and Representatives): (202) 224-3121

Another office to call is that of Chicago's Mayor Richard M. Daley (the brother
of Gore's campaign manager, Bill Daley): Telephone: (312) 744-3300 FAX: (312)
744-2324

If you've never made a call like this, there's no reason to be shy. They get
opinion calls all the time and are set up to take them. In fact they like calls.
It helps them tell which way the wind is blowing.

I'm with you, hotshoe!

Al Gore, with the complicity of corrupt judges (appointed/elected by Democrats), threatens to steal the election; moreover, threatens our very Constitution and government of law. The loss of ATVing will be a small thing if he gets away with it; thanks for suggesting legal means to fight his illegal intent.

Thanks for the additional numbers. I have already sent a few e-mails and made a few phone calls. Now that I have more numbers to call, I'll be doing just that at 4pm today (when I get off work). I can see now that Gore will NOT bow down, even after next Friday when all votes have been counted, from the reactions we are already getting from his advisers they will be using legal manuevers. I for one will NOT stand for it.
