Dear Michael,
As I'm no longer on Civic I ask that you send this onto the list...

I just sent a letter demanding that U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft
appoint an independent investigator to look into possible violations of
federal civil rights laws in Florida.

Recent news reports strongly suggest that state officials knowingly approved
a plan to implement a purge of "potential felons" from voter rolls that
disproportionately affected African American voters. There is evidence that
state officials knew that the list would have this discriminatory effect six
years ago - before the 2000 election. You can read articles and write John
Ashcroft at: http://www.pfaw.org/go/Election_Protection/

As our nation's chief enforcer of civil rights laws, John Ashcroft should
feel massive public pressure to look into these allegations. Please join me
in calling for an independent investigation by writing Ashcroft today!
