Saturday was a crisp, bright, beautiful day around most of the nation. It had been a mild winter; that had been a blessing for rescue teams around the country as they continued to dig through wreckage for more bodies. Large cities like Washington, D.C., New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Houston, Dallas and Atlanta had encountered proportionately more devastation, and heroic recovery efforts continued. Each day another shipment of bodies would be received at morgues. Most coroners had ordered that no autopsies be performed since the cause of deaths were obvious. "Just identify the bodies," a brusque M.E. in Philadelphia said, "notify the next of kin and get them out of here so we can make room for more." As bodies were claimed, the list of those still missing diminished gradually. Thousands of people still remain listed as "missing", however, and rescue team leaders knew that identification would become more difficult as time passed. Most major municipalities had crews working around the clock, both on the streets amid the bombed-out buildings and inside the morgues and labs where the tedious work of piecing torn limbs together with the appropriate decaying torso became assembly-line duty for interns and medical volunteers.

At 4:55 P.M. EST the daily videoconference opened. By now news had spread about O.U.T.R.A.G.E. and attendance at the thousands of sites across America began to mushroom. Mostly out of curiosity, sometimes out of fear - but more and more citizens were watching the daily activities. No resolution was introduced yesterday, but there was feverish activity going on as the camera roamed the huge O.U.T.R.A.G.E. "headquarters". Even with all the recent searches, no one had been able to identify the location of this mammoth hall, where thousands of people mingled everyday to help facilitate these nation-wide telecasts.

The same man who had introduced resolutions to elect Colin Powell and John McCain as interim President and Vice-President again stepped up to the cameras. "On the first Tuesday of March, 2008," he solemnly announced, "we will hold interim elections to formally vote on some of the most significant resolutions, passing them into federal law. Every site which is now receiving these daily TV transmissions will become an official polling place. Each site will be sent a large shipment of signs, posters, banners, and typical campaign paraphernalia with which to promote the election. This is your election kit, which will include all data and information necessary for each site to conduct an official election. We encourage you to work as a team to accomplish a number of important efforts:

1. Distribute press releases, media kits and information to area TV and radio stations, newspapers, and other news outlets;
2. Post yard signs, banners, and posters in strategic locations in your community;
3. Conduct door-to-door surveys and leave behind informational literature;
4. Work the polls on election day;
5. Count and record ballots at a taped public event the day after the polls close.
6. Serve as an official polling officer to inspect and verify votes as they are counted.

Each polling site has been sent a large revolving container in which all ballots will be deposited. These containers are sealed and can only be opened with a special combination of keys which will arrive at each polling place on the morning after the polls have closed. Only at that time will these containers be opened and the actual hand-counting of each ballot will begin. While the activities will be open to the public and videotaped, no official announcements or projections will be issued until all ballots have been counted, verified and audited.

Full instructions will be included in each kit. Most sites should receive these shipments no later than Tuesday, February 26, 2008. If your site has not received these materials by that date, please send an e-mail to O.U.T.R.A.G.E. and we will see to it that another kit is shipped immediately.

As always, we appreciate your attention and cooperation. God bless America."

The telecast was a brief one, lasting just over an hour. Soon the usual two-line message appeared, and the screen returned to black.
