>JESSE JACKSON TO VISIT OHIO SUNDAY AND LEND SUPPORT TO GREEN PARTY 
>RECOUNT DEMAND
>
>            Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb's demand 
>for a recount of the Ohio presidential vote will gain a significant 
>boost this Sunday, when Jesse Jackson visits Columbus, Ohio to 
>publicly announce his support for the recount and other challenges 
>to the controversial Ohio vote.
>            Jackson will be speaking on Sunday at the Mt. Herman 
>Baptist Church, 2283 Sunbury Rd., at 3:30 p.m., in Columbus.
>            "Voter suppression and intimidation is a civil rights 
>issue. Jesse Jackson is the perfect person to bring these concerns 
>to a wider audience and we welcome his participation," said David 
>Cobb, whose campaign has been leading the charge for the Ohio 
>recount.  Cobb has been joined in the recount demand by Libertarian 
>candidate Michael Badnarik.
>            "We need to investigate, coordinate, litigate, recount 
>and recuse," said Jackson, referring to the recount and other 
>efforts and lawsuits challenging the legitimacy of the Ohio vote.
>            Jackson's recusal reference indicated his support for 
>Cobb and Badnarik's demand that Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth 
>Blackwell, a co-chair of the Bush campaign, recuse himself from the 
>vote-counting process.
>            "You don't have an owner of a team be the umpire of the 
>seventh game of the World Series," Jackson said.
>              Jackson joins Ohio Congressman and former presidential 
>candidate Dennis Kucinich and a growing list of individuals and 
>organizations calling for a recount.
>            The Cobb-LaMarche campaign is now in the process of 
>recruiting volunteers and raising funds for monitoring the actual 
>recount process which is expected to take place in early December. 
>Volunteers and donors should visit the campaign website, 
>http://www.votecobb.org, for more information.
>
