Its about time we assign a name to the movement. Keep in mind the movement incorporates all of the following: Our stolen elections Election fraud investigations and litigation Voter suppression Election reform Regaining our democracy
My nominees to get your creative juices flowing:
We The People Coalition (WTPC) Election Justice Coalition (EJC) Voting Rights Coalition (VRC) Restore Democracy Movement (RDM) Citizens for Democracy (CFD) Pro Democracy Movement (PDM) Pro Democracy Coalition (PDC) Popular Front for Democracy (PFD) Popular Front for the Return of Democracy (PFRD) Popular Front for the Liberation of America (PFLA)

6. Then let's make it "Electoral Revolt" >>> VOTER |
|
The concept of revolt certainly garners more attention than reform.
And in my view it's also more accurate.

2. The name must include either election or voting |
|
otherwise it's too vague. Therefore I like Election Justice Coalition (EJC) or Voting Rights Coalition (VRC).

5. It's going well, considering :-) |
|
We're having a more typical spring, meaning wide-ranging weather.
We had a rally on Wednesday to preserve the filibuster -- and it hailed!
Any plans underway for another national action on election reform?

7. Trying to generate united interest in... |
|
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x364012#364101I can't do much to have this happen since I am working again at about 133% of my time (yuck!). So, I'm trying to garner united, coordinated interest, first in the idea, then in getting local activists to provide the logistics and volunteers for the events.

Citizens Coalition for Honest Elections
We the People of America are united only when our voices can be heard through our vote. We are tired of the voter suppression so rampant across our country designed to keep us from voting. We are fed up with the fact that voting is allowed on machines without a record of the voters intent We question the honesty of the vote count as machines tabulate without adequate hand count verfication. We understand that the right to vote and the right to count our vote is the key to our democracy and our faith in america. We intend to illuminate all problems with our voting system, support legislative and legal actions undertaken,and encourage citizen action in our quest for accessable open transparent and honest elections. We will count.

11. another thought. United for Peace and Justice has done a great |
|
job of being a connection point for peace groups.
Maybe we need a "United for Transparent Elections" coalition.
And one day we can coalesce with United for Peace and Justice and simple become
United for America.
