START A PETITION Bring Democracy Back to South Korea: Fraudulent and Illegal Presidential Election

11,419 people have signed. Help get to 30,000
Why this is important
My home country, South Korea, had the 18th presidential election a few weeks ago on Dec 19th, 2012, and so far as many as 250,000 people have signed the petition to request manual counting, suspecting election fraud for numerous reasons. http://bbs3.agora.media.daum.net/gaia/do/petition/read?bbsId=P001&objCate1=1&articleId=130388&pageIndex=1#
However, the current Lee Myung-bak government of South Korea has been completely controlling the media and has already fired or punished 500 hundred reporters or producers. And as the victory of Park Geun-hye, the daughter of the notorious dictator, in this election is already making the situation even worse, no South Korean media has ever spoken for those 250,000 people.
Accordingly, I desperately, yet humbly and earnestly, chose to ask the people around the world to look at our situation. Although South Korean National Election Commission insists they counted the votes manually, lots and lots of South Koreans believe that electronic tabulating system was used. Below, I'm listing some links you might be interested in: (content in English)
