BIBLIOGRAPHY: ELECTION 2000

From the Boston Project

As a result of the strange and distressing silence of much of the major print and broadcast media, many concerned Americans are as yet unacquainted with the breadth and depth of the crimes surrounding Election 2000. This is truly a crisis in our democracy, which would, if generally known among the American people, inspire indignation and action nationwide.

For those of you who have not had ready access to this information until now, we have collected a list of on-line articles to get you started. Once you begin to peruse the Internet you will find that one link leads to another. There are many motivated and justifiably outraged people out there, and we are called to action. We hope you will review the available evidence, consider it carefully, and find ample reason to join us.

WHERE TO LOOK FOR INFORMATION

There are many sites to browse that contain a wide variety of information. The list below is just a sample. You will find voices that are partisan and voices that are not; some of these voices are sober and rational, others furious. There are people for Gore, others for Nader, even some formerly for Bush, but all are outraged at the violation of the democratic process.

Depending upon your personal style, there are some presentations that will appeal to you and others that you may find distasteful. The broad range of expression is a result of the severe distress and confusion that has been spread, not only during the election and its aftermath, but in the numerous destructive acts that the administration has perpetrated to date.

The diversity of response also represents the strength inherent in a population of many viewpoints privileged with freedom of speech. We must be ever vigilant to protect this privilege. In any case, we encourage you to examine the facts and principles presented and to draw your own conclusions.
