Article regarding the idea of "cancelling elections".....
Voting official seeks process for
canceling Election Day over terrorism

<http://www.freep.com/news/latestnews/pm20449_20040625.htm>

Excerpt:

"WASHINGTON - The government needs to establish guidelines for canceling or rescheduling elections if terrorists strike the United States again, says the chairman of a new federal voting commission.

Such guidelines do not currently exist, said DeForest B. Soaries, head of the voting panel.

Soaries was appointed to the federal Election Assistance Commission last year by President Bush. Soaries said he wrote to National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge in April to raise the concerns."

1. you should quote the next sentence in the article for accuracy
``I am still awaiting their response,'' he said.

They haven't responded for 3 months now.
This guy is a wingnut.
Unfortunately he seems to be in a position of power.
So what to do?

Write your congressman.
This can only happen if we let it.
If the elections are cancelled, then the terrorists have won.
Remember that.
Write your congressman.
