9. Lets think together..."group think";) & by all means ALWAYS VOTE!!!

First, I strongly believe that EVERYBODY WHO CAN REGISTER SHOULD AND THAT EVERYBODY WHO IS REGISTERED SHOULD SHOW UP IN 2006 AT THE GENERAL ELECTION AND VOTE, REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PREFERENCE...EVERYBODY

Second, when they show up they should ask to speak to a poll worker after they vote and ask how they can know that their vote was taken properly. They should have a handout. In fact

Bright :think: Time: Activists Handouts at Polling Places :think: Bright idea time

Page 1:
You have a right to know that your vote was taken and counted properly.

You have a right to know how this is done including how any voting machines operate and how they are secured against fraud.

You have a right to know that this election actually produces and accurate result and that the person elected received the most votes and can prove that.

You have a right to withdraw your consent from anyone elected who cannot prove he/she was freely and fairly elected.

Resources listed - web pages, etc.
