God does not prefer Americans

Say among the nations: The LORD is king;
He governs the peoples with equity.
Psalm 96: 10
 
The life of an Iraqi, a Sudanese, an Afghani, is worth just as much to God as the life of an American.  God is just and evenhanded.  The same laws apply to all nations.  You wouldn't know it to look at the world today.  It's disgusting that such an obvious thing needs to be stated.

What about Florida and New Mexico?  Are you going to join the Green candidate, David Cobb, in demanding a recount in those two states?  And what took you so long?   Peace,  Carol Wolman

Dear Carol,

Your response to Washington Governor candidate Christine Gregoire's plea for help has been overwhelming. Thanks to your generosity, the recount in Washington will now go forward. With only 42 votes separating Gregoire and her Republican opponent, today we can ensure that every ballot is accurately counted. This could not have happened without you.

Your incredible grassroots support is vital to our continued fight to ensure a full and legitimate count of every single vote in this election and future elections. In addition to our strong commitment to the recount in Washington State, the Democratic Party has empowered the Ohio Democratic Party to represent us as our official observer during the recount. We will make sure that every vote in Ohio is counted.

But we aren't stopping there. After consulting with our Voting Rights Institute staff, Voting Protection Coordinators, Ohio legal team, Party activists, supporters, elected officials, and others, and after reviewing available information, the Democratic National Committee has decided to conduct a thorough investigation of key election issues arising from the conduct of the 2004 general election in Ohio.

This investigative study will address the legitimate questions and concerns that have been raised in Ohio and will develop factual information that will be critically important in crafting further key election reforms. This project seeks to answer such questions as:

  • Why did so many people have to wait in line in certain Ohio precincts and not others?
  • Why weren't there enough machines in some counties and not others?
  • Why were so many Ohioans forced to cast provisional ballots?

We will find answers to help implement and advocate reforms in the future.

Let me be clear. We do not expect either the recount in Ohio or our investigation to overturn the results of this election. But both are vital to protecting every American's voting rights in future elections. And the Democratic Party will never waver when it comes to upholding this sacred trust.

Thank you again for your incredible support.

Sincerely,
Terry McAuliffe
Terry McAuliffe
Chairman
