Their add appeared in the NY Times Nov.11. The ad in summary says:
>>
>>...... "THE QUICKEST WAY TO RESOLVE THIS CRISIS-WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE RIGHTS OR WRONGS OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE OR PARTY POLITICS-IS TO
ASK THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW BEST:THE VOTERS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY. THOSE WHO
VOTED ON NOV 7 SHOULD BE ASKED TO VOTE AGAIN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE,WITHOUT
PRESSURE FROM ANY PARTY,BUT UNDER THE STRICTEST SCRUTINY. AND THERE SHOULD
BE AN ACCURATE HAND COUNT IN CERTAIN COUNTIES UNDER QUESTION.
............BOTH PARTIES SHOULD PLEDGE TO ABIDE BY THE RESULTS AS IT
AFFECTS THE FINAL TOTAL OF THE FINAL VOTE,WITHOUT RECOURSE TO FURTHER
PROTEST OR LAW. THIS IS THE QUICKEST,FAIREST WAY TO REMOVE THE TAINT OF
CONTROVERSY, FROM THE NEW INCUMBENT WHOEVER HE MAY BE.
>>NOTHING LESS ,WE BELIEVE,CAN PRESERVE THE FAITH OF THE PEOPLE UPON WHICH
OUR ENTIRE POLITICAL SYSTEM WORKS.
