Subject: Call to action: Kill the bill that federalizes secret vote counting
Dear Patriot,
We are being told "there is no support" for banning touch-screens (DRE voting machines) - yet, when blogger Brad Friedman tried to get a name of one single person in congress who says they would vote against a bill if it contains a ban on DREs, he could not find a single name. Friedman called this ploy to block banning of DREs a "hoax."
We, the Patriots, believe it is past time to get a congressional "roll call" on this.
We are requesting your help -- just an hour or so of your time. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR A CONGRESSIONAL SURVEY re ban on DREs .... Rob Kall of OpEd News has graciously cleared room on Opednews & Joan Brunwasser, Election Reform editor for OpEd News has posted an article
http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_joan_bru_070708_the__2464_2c000_question.htm
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:
VOLUNTEER DIRECTLY BY SENDING AN EMAIL TO MARY ANN GOULD, WHO IS HELPING TO MANAGE THE CONGRESSIONAL "ROLL CALL" FOR/AGAINST DREs PROJECT. YOU CAN E-MAIL directly to
gouldco@xxxxxxxx to volunteer. The survey will be on behalf of OpEdNews, and all volunteer names will be forwarded to Rob and Joan of OpEd.
Let's get them on record once and for all. Every one of them. With your help, for the first time, we will learn THE TRUTH about where each and every member of congress stands on DRE voting.
Note: This survey pertains to support for a ban on ALL touch-screen voting machines, whether or not they have the silly toilet-paper style receipt rolls that multiple audits have shown fail so spectacularly. Ban on touch-screens (DREs): Is it true that members of congress will refuse to support this? Name by name, let's get them on record.
Roll Call - All replies will be posted by name of Representative on OpEdNEWS.com.
ALSO:
1- Please post comment to OpEdNews indicating your support ... or that it's time we get this data ... or respond to Joan's article. As you can see note below, Rob would like comments ASAP
http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_joan_bru_070708_the__2464_2c000_question.htm
2- Please send Joan's article out along with request for help to all reliable people you know ... we need to get this poll done fast ... if enough people we can do it. Mary Ann Gould is supplying basic script, though Joan's article pretty much outlines needs, and provide congressional assignments (if there is a preference for a Representative or area, please advise plus if person would take 5 to 10 ...or more names).
Isn't it past time we did this? Let's find out where our representatives stand and make this information public.
Democracy is not a spectator sport. THANK YOU for your help with this!
Yours in solidarity,
We the Patriots
An alliance of voting rights leaders opposed to counting votes in secret.
