 Bartcop:
 
 50 million Americans voted for Al Gore on Tuesday.
 A majority of Florida voters believed they voted for Gore on Tuesday.
 
 There is a legal process in place for those who believe they were disenfranchised
 due to fraud or error to have their grievances addressed after an election.  There is
 nothing illegal about pursuing such avenues.  They exist to protect our democracy
 from installing into office a different candidate than the one selected by the people.
 
 Of the 50 million who voted for Gore, one might expect about 10 million to throw up
 their hands in the next few days out of boredom or angst about the above processes,
 or a lack of understanding about them, and ask for Mr. Gore to concede.
 
 Of the 40 million remaining who voted for Gore, one might expect that by the time
 the absentee ballots are counted on November 17, another 10 million will believe that
 because of boredom or angst about the above  processes, Mr. Gore should concede.
 
 Of the 30 million remaining who voted for Gore, one might expect them all to support
 in theory the fight by the Palm Beach citizens to have their votes count, and have the will
 of the majority of people of Florida reflected in that state's final results.
 
 Of that 30 million, one might expect that 20 million will have their beliefs, but be silent
 and not demonstrate their belief through any action at all, and because of boredom or angst,
 will avoid the topic.
 
 Of the remaining 10 million, one might expect 5 million will offer their opinion when the topic
 comes up at the water cooler, but will take no further action.
 
 Of the remaining 5 million, one might expect half of them to bring up the topic at the water cooler,
 but take no further action.
 
 Of the remaining 2.5 million, one might expect them to write columns, write letters to the editor,
 phone talk radio programs, post messages on the Internet, send money to legal funds, and take
 other actions.  One might expect them to FIGHT to have the will of the people reflected in the
 result of this election.
 
 If the final result of this fight is that Mr. Gore, the winner of the popular votes nationwide and
 in Florida on election day, is confirmed as the President of the United States - 50 million
 Americans who voted for him will benefit, yet only 5% will be responsible for his victory.
 95%  will have abandoned their obligations as American citizens.
 
 Where will you stand?
