MICHAEL MOORE, GREG PALAST, REPS. BROWN AND DEUTSCH:
"DON'T LET THEM STEAL FLORIDA AGAIN!"

(Boston) Author-filmmakers Michael Moore and Greg Palast joined with
Representatives Corrine Brown (D-Jacksonville) and Peter Deutsch (D-Ft.
Lauderdale) to demand steps, as Palast said, "To prevent Republican
hacks in Florida swiping the election of 2004 as they did four years ago."

At a press conference Wednesday morning before the Florida delegation
to the Democratic Convention in Boston, Moore endorsed a bill introduced
by Brown to make it easier for Congress to challenge an election
tainted by apparent fraud.

"Don't let them steal Florida again," said Palast, the investigative
reporter who in 2000 first uncovered for BBC Television that Katherine
Harris and Jeb Bush had wrongly removed tens of thousand of Black
citizens from voter rolls. Palast's reports on the theft of the elections are
featured in Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Palast has discovered that current lists of 47,000 "felon" voters which
Florida has targeted for removal is at least 90% wrong. "

"These so-called criminals' only crime," said Palast, "is VWD - voting
while Democratic." The "purge" list contains four Democrats for every
Republican.

Palast pointed out such names on the lists as Thomas Cooper whose date
of conviction is entered as January 30, 2007, "a criminal of the
future."

Earlier this month, after Palast testified before the US Civil Rights
Commission in Washington, the CRC voted to ask the Justice Department to
open a criminal investigation of the State of Florida's handling of
voter rolls.

Palast's exposé of the "fake felon purge" for Harper's Magazine was
nominated for a National Magazine Award in 2002.
