H.R. 2239
Hey,
In the last two weeks I have faxed and called 25 congresspeople about voter fraud. I have faxed them articles as well. And two of them, Chris Shays and Tom Davis (both republicans) just got on board with the bill. I can't help but think that calling works!! Get on board! Call your representative and any others you think might be interested!!!

WHOOOHOOO!!!
Yaron

1. YEAH!
Way to go!
I am having a lot of luck getting their attention with the strategy of "America needs you to help restore voter confidence".

SO how do we get a sister bill in the Senate??? Very very important to have a Senate bill. So far I have found no ally there, but I have Hutchinson and Cornyn (ack).

Also, please be sure to hound the press to cover HR2239 when covering voter fraud. People are finally accepting electronic irregularities as a legitimate concern, but so few are aware of HR2239. Seems only fair to include coverage of the only solution put forth so far.

Peace,
Teresa

2. in case you wanted to join........


This is a call to action of support for HR 2239 introduced into the House of Representatives creating a federal law demanding a paper trail for every electronic voting machine.

on

Dec 2nd

Marking the Countdown Until the Election


These machines have serious flaws and holes left open within the system which can easily be manipulated.
A paper trail is necessary for the voter to have as a certification of one's vote and it is necessary to have in a functioning democracy.

Diebold is a heavy Bush supporter and there is much controversy over its past record of specific elections with this technology which leads many to believe, including me, that Diebold and other companies have been contracted out from the Republican Party to rig and corrupt election results as they see fit.

Whatever the fine detailed facts may be, the one very true fact is the very serious POTENTIAL for vote manipulation with these machines, which demand to be taken seriously.

If all of us don't pick up our two feet and start walking, however far we can go, to reach however far we can reach, there is going to be even more catching up to do for this country.

I encourage you to call and/or send an email or letter to your House Representative and State Senators and encourage the support and immediate implementation of HR 2239, which Rush Holt (D-NJ) has introduced.

And don't forget to pass the word along, we need all the support we can get.

If you need a reminder a day before and want to be added to the list send an email to:
