Their Manifesto:
MANIFESTO OF OUTRAGED AMERICAN VOTERS
We are concerned American citizens. Most of us reside abroad.
We demonstrate here today, DURING the Inauguration of George W. Bush as President
of the United States, to protest his unlawful selection. We condemn the action
of our Supreme Court, which did NOT permit all the votes of the American people
to be counted.
In his dissenting opinion, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens wrote, "Although
we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this
year's presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear.
It is the nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule
of law."
The incoming administration of George W. Bush is already threatening our civil
liberties by nominating an extremist to the post of U.S. Attorney General --
former Senator John Ashcroft. We urge all Americans to oppose his Senate confirmation
in every possible way.
By demonstrating here today we express our outrage and disgust.
OUTRAGED AMERICAN VOTERS
