TRANSCRIPT EXCERPTS (video coming shortly):
Wednesday, December 8, 2004 - Washington, D.C.

U.S.REPRESENTATIVE JOHN CONYERS (D-MI) AND DEMOCRAT MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HOLD A FORUM ON VOTING IRREGULARITIES IN OHIO

SPEAKER: U.S. REPRESENTATIVE JOHN CONYERS (D-MI), RANKING MEMBER

Reverend Jesse Jackson, founder, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, civil rights activist, counselor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a distinguished civil rights leader:
I'm here today to speak up for students and young people who turned out in force, despite county officials who often tried to deter and deny them polling places on campuses.

Therefore, a legal complaint should be filed, asserting a violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The voting procedures in Ohio resulted in disparate impact on minority voters.

But far too many are being far too silent and passive in the face of this challenge to democracy.
The attorney general is charged with the enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, and must use the resources of its office to enforce equal protection provisions. Silence is betrayal.

For the tremendous legislative work led by Lyndon Johnson in 1965, and also the leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., for the blood of Goodman (ph), Swerner (ph) and Cheney (ph), Malla Louitsa (ph), Red Gambers (ph), and the (inaudible) pain and humiliation endured by Faney Lou Hamer (ph), I continue to urge the Kerry campaign, the DNC, the Democratic Party, those who depend upon the vote of African-Americans, Latinos, people of color, and the young, those that profess to have love for freedom and dignity of any party, to join us.

I urge the Congress to act before Michael Moore comes back, exposes their violation and their capitulation again.
Why, 34 days before certification of Ohio's vote -- 34 days -- yet we keep hearing a clean election without problems.
