July 13th, Nationwide "Computer Ate My Vote" Day of Action

We need volunteers with experience to organize rallies in support of voter-verified paper ballots (VVPBs) across the country.

VerifiedVoting.org joins with Common Cause (CC), DemocracyForAmerica (DFA), Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), MoveOn, TrueMajority and other nationwide and local grassroots organizations in this exciting opportunity for direct action to increase election integrity in your town, state, and nationwide.

Synchronized events in at least 19 locations around the country, plus other locally-planned and organized events, will apply pressure to state and local elections officials to protect our votes.

Certain rallies will feature well-known spokespeople (invited are Governor Howard Dean, Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's, and others).

You and many others in your state have circulated and signed petitions calling for securing the vote. One goal of the events is to deliver petitions from signers in each state, calling on election officials to pledge to protect our votes.

Please let us know if you want to organize a National "Computer Ate My Vote" Day of Action rally in your area by responding by this Friday, June 18.

We will provide an organizer's toolkit to those who are interested and connect you with any other organizers in your area sign up. You and the other rally organizers will be responsible for firming up a location, scheduling local speakers, obtaining permits if needed, contacting the press, updating a rally web page on the VerifiedVoting.org website, and other rally logistics. We will assist to the extent we are able.

Find out if there is a rally near you or how you can help out.

EFF, and other organizations, are promoting their Verfify the Vote campaign trying to educate US citizens about the potential problems which may come from electronic voting.

Democracy is government by the people, and the right to vote is critical ...

Hmm

Well, I hate to be a cynic here, but we had paper voting in the last election and, even though the re-counts showed Gore won, that didn't seem to matter. Why should it matter now?
