Democrats.com is launching its "Fall Offensive" at a press conference in Washington D.C., with the participation of prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, author of The Betrayal of America: How the Supreme Court Undermined the Constitution and Chose our President, (which reached #4 on the New York Times bestseller list), Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL), author of the forthcoming book Towards A More Perfect Union, and Kit Gage, Vice President of the National Lawyers Guild. According to Democrats.com co-founder Bob Fertik:"The 27,000 members of Democrats.com are proud to declare that we will NEVER 'get over' the Stolen Election. In the ten months since Election Day 2000, we have learned the truth about Florida - that Al Gore really won. The only reason George W. Bush occupies the White House is because his campaign stopped all of the votes from being counted. To put it simply: George W. Bush stole Florida with the help of his brother, Governor Jeb Bush, his campaign co-chair, Secretary of State Katherine Harris, and a partisan Republican majority of the U.S. Supreme Court." According to co-founder David Lytel: "The unlawful suspension of the recount in Florida by the U.S. Supreme Court is the most important crime against democracy in our long and proud history. We know that millions of Americans are still angry about the election, so despite the almost total news blackout of this issue we will work tirelessly to ensure that justice prevails through the ballot box." Democrats.com cited a recent USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll in July which asked whether Bush won "fair and square." By 50%-48%, a majority of Americans said no. Over one quarter (26%) of the respondents did not accept Bush as a "legitimate" President. A poll in June by FOX News found that 58% of Americans were still angry about how the votes for president were counted in Florida. "In their hearts, most Americans know that Bush stole the election," said Fertik. "We will mobilize the majority of Americans who believe the voters - not the Supreme Court - should choose our President."
