Teresa, as
one of her constituents you could help educate and influence her in this
regard. Might you help her with this?
Read the bill carefully. Whether it is her staff
undercutting her, or ignorance, or whatever, her last 2 bills on this issue
were counterproductive. PADA allowed rather than requiring a paper trail, and
RECORD required a paper trail unless states said they couldn't comply and then
they didn't have to. Stupid, counterproductive, and all announced with much
fanfare.

Dear
Friends,
What better way to advance our Count Every
Vote reform initiative than to show the power of democracy in
action!
Last week I asked you to become a citizen co-sponsor of
this vitally important reform legislation that Senator Barbara Boxer
and I have made a top priority for 2005.
100,000 of you
answered our call to action -- and the number is growing every day.

Today,
we take the next step. This afternoon, I will step onto the Senate
floor and formally introduce the Count Every Vote
Act.
Providing paper receipts for electronic voting
machines, creating uniform standards for provisional ballots, and
guaranteeing adequate equipment to prevent long waiting lines are
common-sense reforms. They will help strengthen our democracy and they
are supported by the vast majority of Americans.
But here's the
reality. Many of the Republican leaders who make speeches about
democracy abroad will resist this attempt to strengthen it here at
home. They don't want to face the issue of electoral reform, and they
don't want to vote on it - so they are going to try to ignore
it.
That's why I am committed to building grassroots momentum
-- to insist on action for the Count Every Vote Act of
2005. We are going to show that the American people are
determined to have fair, free and credible elections - our democracy
demands no less!
100,000 citizen co-sponsors is a great start.
But, it is only a start.
Will you continue to help me build
support? Will you forward this email to your friends, and ask them to
join us? The more citizen co-sponsors we have, the louder, and
stronger, our voice will be!
Thank you,
Hillary Clinton |
