Window of opportunity

[Evan Daniel Ravitz <evan@xxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

Somehow, a unique window of opportunity has opened for citizens to get 
the County Commissioners to abandon unverifiable voting, partly thanks 
to the ACLU, and partly due to the contempt for citizens and 
incompetence of the County Clerk.

We already know that NO ammount of time and logic will move the 
Commissioners from their robotic adherence to privatized elections.

I suggest a campaign of letters to the editors of the Boulder Camera 
and Longmont Times-Call. Embarassing our (elected?) Commissioners in 
the public eye may spark others to weigh in as well. The public is by 
now quite educated about Diebold, DRE's etc.

Fear is about the only thing which will motivate public officials to 
change course. I've known Will Toor for almost 20 years. While we 
share many viewpoints, I've never seen him show a shred of courage in 
his leadership. Now that he has 2 kids, his lack of courage is sealed. 
Only fear of losing his job would motivate him to do the right thing.

New Year's could be a time for new things.

If 2 of our ad hoc leaders I single out in this email's header will 
write letters I will too, and will email the 142 volunteers for 
hand-counting asking for their help.

I suggest that each letter urge citizens to contact the commissioners 
at commissioners@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or to write their own letters to 
editors.

Evan
