December 11 "Count the Votes"
Pro-Democracy Rally Report
CONGRATULATIONS again to Houston Pro-Democracy ralliers! 30 or more marched
peacefully in front of the
Federal Courthouse in downtown Houston early this afternoon, calling for "Fair
Elections" and "Counting Every Vote."
Ten or fewer counter-demonstrating FREEPERS tried to out shout the Pro-Democracy
bunch, but led by Dan
DiDonato and his trusty bullhorn, Pro-Democracy prevailed.
FREEPERS held signs that said "Kiss My Dimpled Chad" and chanted such things
as "Gore's a Whore," validating even further all Pro-Democracy folks.
Mary Ellen Brennan, Democratic Party Chair from Galveston County, wore black
to signify the death of
Democracy if the U. S. Supreme Court prohibits a full and fair counting of the
votes in Florida. At least 3 others
also wore black.
All Al Gore and Joe Lieberman ever asked for was an accurate count of the votes
in Florida. After all, as Al
Gore said, "This is America. In America we count the votes." Or so we thought.
