Title: Corrine Brown

 FL Congresswoman Corrine Brown Censured re 2000 election "coup d'etat" speech http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/top...

Florida Congresswoman, concerned about the integrity of the 2004 elections, especially in her home state of Florida, speaks from floor of the House re 2000's "coup d'etat" .... We were told to "get over it". We will NOT "Get over it"

House members voted her out of order and had her words stricken from the record

Watch a video clip of her House speech -- now stricken from the record:

( Watch it quickly before it too is scrubbed. )

Here's my own letter to her...

------------------------------

U.S. Representative Corrine Brown
2444 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Fax: (202) 225-2256

Dear Rep. Brown,

I applaud your brave stance and clear statement of fact on the floor of the House of Representatives today in which you referred to the presidential election of 2000 as a "coup d'etat".

You are absolutely correct. It was exactly that and I feel that you speak for millions of Americans whose own voices have been rendered inert.

Please be assured that there are many of us who stand with you and who are ashamed, as I am, of my own dismal representative (John Doolittle of California, who was shown in Fahrenheit 9/11 running away from accountability).  Thank you for speaking for us.

When the history of this era is written, your name and efforts will be on the positive side of the ledger.

Stay strong,

Dan Scanlan
