Hello Election Reformers:

                            -- Special Meeting --


Place:  Public Works Maintenance Facility (near the airport)
        Cafeteria
        375 Airport Road, Longmont

Date:   Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

Time:   7PM to 8:30PM


There is exciting news: Our Geof Cahoon of The Democracy Technology Project
and Boulder House Party just returned from the Progressive Leadership
Retreat in California.  He was one of five grassroots activist to met with
95 leaders from some of the largest progressive organizations from across
the United States.

He discussed the Democracy Technology Project with Joan Blades, cofounder of
MoveOn, Chellie Pingree, President of Common Cause, Cecile Richards,
President of America Votes, Billy Winsatt, Executive Director of League of
Young Voters and many others.

Geof will be at Tuesday's meeting to describe the response to our concepts.

Also, I will give a report on Wednesday's Boulder meeting with Voter
Action's! lawyer, Lowell Finley and their lawsuit against The State of New
Mexico regarding election irregularities.

Voter Action's! approach is to get past anecdotes and get a "finding of
fact" by the courts.


Thanks,

-Ivan
