People need to know right away how to help be it via volunteering their time or raising money. Who does it go to? Are there any limits? "What can we do to help?" etc. >> Not to sound like Eric, but we really need a war room meeting TODAY, with Administration, RNC, state party, RJ, lawyers, interest allies, etc. to make sure we are on task.

I have spoken with Brian N. about the need for Prosser to declare victory now if not first thing in the morning. He needs to be on talk radio in the morning saying he is confident he won and talk radio needs to scream the Dems are trying to steal the race. The AG needs to step up and say he is working to protect the integrity of the election results. For those who have done a statewide recount, this will be a roller coaster ride over the next two to three weeks. The statewide canvass will probably take until Monday and it will differ by hundreds of votes from tonight's results. This is why we need to declare victory first so it appears that the results are being overturned if they go the wrong way. The RNC and RPW need to recruit hundreds of volunteers to oversee the recount. As the old Warren Zevon song goes "Send Lawyers, Guns and Money ....
