DESCRIPTION

"If election "irregularities" in one state are allowed to invalidate the nation's popular vote, then democracy is in real trouble."^¹

This Web site began as a simple listing of locations to protest the election and turned into a grassroots movement. This movement, "direct action democracy"^², is due to the creativity and spirit of the people involved; and the fact that it is not top down at all, but bottom up. That's a major distinction. This is truly participatory.

Through participation and a common purpose people from across our nation have been able to organize and make their voices heard. People have come together to protest the injustice of a democracy gone awry.

CounterCoup.org strives to unite people with others within their locality so that they may work together for change in our political system. By working together locally we create a chain reaction that is felt across our nation. Together we can restore democracy to America. One neighborhood at a time.

Democracy and fairness are issues that transcend party lines. If people, party-affiliated or not, are unified and work toward the same goals, it will turn the tide and put the power back where it belongs — in the votes of the people. It won't happen overnight; however, with work and perseverance we can make changes in our political system turning our goals into reality.

"100% — We need to give this our all and not stop halfway. It will take a lot of hard work and commitment. Our country is worth it. Democracy is worth it. All the issues we support are worth it. We can take back our country and make it everything it was meant to be. It won't happen on its own and our elected officials won't do it for us. We have to do it."^³
