In need of your clever minds
I'm the first to admit that I have no imagination (hey I use to be a republican! lol).

I'm planning on going to the "Computer Ate my Vote" day of action tomorrow in Tampa. I've bought the poster board, heavy duty markers, and stencils, lol, but for the life of me can't come up with something to write on them. Any ideas? TIA

6. I saw something like this on a bumpersticker:
Edited on Mon Jul-12-04 09:17 AM by lectrobyte
The only way I'd vote for Bush is if the voting machine has no paper trail.

On edit, maybe this would read better:

The only way my vote goes to Bush is if the voting machine has no paper trail.

10. Here's the email from True Majority
There are 8 around the state, some have different starting times.

here's the Email.

The national "Computer Ate My Vote" day of action is really taking off - in
just the three days since we invited you to next Tuesday's big event, more
than 20,000 TrueMajority members have added their names to the call for
voter-verified paper ballots. Along with others who signed on earlier, and
signatures from MoveOn, Democracy For America and VerifiedVoting.org, it
adds up to a list of more than a quarter-million names. Come on down
Tuesday, July 13th to join the crowd of Florida citizens who will deliver
those petitions and call on your election officials to support voter-
verified paper ballots.

The rally and press conference is at on Tuesday, July 13th.
There are 8 different rallies in Florida; check out
http://action.truemajority.org/ctt.asp?u=479644&l=726
To find the one near you.

These events are happening in 17 more states besides Florida, and there's
also a national telephone press conference that same day where Gov. Howard
Dean will join our own Ben in promoting what you're doing. This will be the
biggest day of grassroots action for secure elections yet - come be a part
of it!

About this campaign:
The paperless computerized voting terminals being adopted by many states are
vulnerable to software flaws, hardware failures, and security holes. The
machines have already lost votes in a number of elections around the
country, and without a paper printout there is no way to do a meaningful
audit or recount. Every voter should be able to see a paper version of their
ballot to verify their choices are recorded correctly, before leaving it
with pollworkers as a permanent record. For more on the issue, see
http://action.truemajority.org/ctt.asp?u=479644&l=727


Matt Holland and Mark Floegel,
Computer Ate My Vote campaign coordinators

15. I'm president now! You can't vote!
Something like that. I was thinking about it this morning. How he just doesn't want us to vote. Or vote correctly. Electronic voting, and Focks news have taken care of both of those "problems".

19. NO BLIND FAITH VOTING--Demand a paper trail!
I heard this one awhile back somewhere and was trying to find a bumper sticker. Then CA decided no to use the electronic machines with no paper trail so I didn't really see the point of putting it on my car. This is such an important issue. Good luck!!
