Verfied Voting.org: Last Chance for a Fair Election
Peter J
2004-03-04 6:40 PM
FAIR ELECTIONS MIGHT BE POSSIBLE IN 2004, AFTER ALL
Our best, and possibly only, opportunity to require a voter-verifiable paper trail for electronic voting everywhere in the U.S. for the November 2004 election is "The Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2003." The House version (H.R. 2239) was introduced in May by Rep. Rush Holt. The Senate version (S. 1980) was introduced in December by Senator Bob Graham.
VerifiedVoting.org is in the midst of a campaign to contact every Senator as many times as possible to let them know how much we care about passing this bill. We have heard that the House bill may not move until the Senators are clear on which of the three voting bills (Clinton's S.1986, Boxer's S.2045, or Graham's S.1980) is gaining the most support.
It is important that GRAHAM's bill emerge as the obvious choice, or it is unlikely that we will have a paper trail by this election.
PLEASE take a moment to use the 1-800-839-5276 number and:
1) Call your Senator and ask their position on S. 1980. Tell them you support it, and ask them to co-sponsor.
2) Report the results of your calls to pass2239@verifiedvoting.org so they can update the data about the legislators.
Also: post this notice on any other blogs you go to.
If you need information on the voting issue or the bills go to http://www.verifiedvoting.org.

allowed forsaken soldiers to eat plutonium to murder God
for a measly few dollars the bushmob will pocket for the

Post-peak oil production or “Peak Oil” is possibly the most important issue of our time. The decline of oil production and the increase in demand is at or near a critical threshold. It will shake the foundations of human life on planet Earth. (image/jpeg)

Building a Wall on a Neighbors’s Land
Guy Blais
2004-02-24 7:39 PM
Today is the second day of hearings at the International Court of Justice in The Hague on the legality of the separation wall inside Palestinian occupied territory. In America it is illegal to build even a tiny wall or fence on a neighbor’s property. Building a huge, ugly wall would be preposterous. (text/plain)
