Background:
Voter March began on
November 14, 2000, as four
founding members organizing people who wanted to
express their opposition to the irregularities and
egregious conduct of Election 2000 and the
direction in which an illegitimate administration is taking the
country. As an
internet-based grass-roots group,
having logged over one million hits to its website
since November 2000.Voter
March organized major national demonstrations to
protest the disenfranchisement of voters in
Election 2000 and the highly partisan U.S. Supreme
Court decision which selected the
President. On
January 20th, 2001, Voter March organized the Inaugural Voter March
at Dupont Circle in Washington, DC., where thousands
of people turned out in the cold, rainy weather to protest the
disenfranchisement of thousands of voters in
Florida and a Supreme Court decision that
undermined the franchise of all citizens by
"selecting" a president through judicial
fiat. Click on January
