Martin Sheen is concerned about computerized voting

[CatWoman]

As a member of TrueMajority I am concerned about the threat posed by new computerized voting machines. We start with a principle so obvious it seems strange even to write it: For a democracy to work, the people must believe that balloting is conducted fairly and votes are counted accurately. Americans feel justifiable pride that our nation has created a system to ensure this, including provisions for recounts.

New computerized voting machines register votes on a memory chip and then digitally transmit the results via telephone modem to election headquarters. We can only hope that neither glitches nor tampering will change or erase any of our votes. We all know that computers sometimes crash and lose data. Power cords get pulled out of the wall. And what better trophy for a hacker--or over zealous campaign worker--than to skew the outcome of the actual election?

1. Gee, not a moment too soon!

We all should be deep in our pockets and tossing it to Bev Harris, a long time ago.

8. Why does Sheen (or Reiner) support Dean?

Both are on the NRA Blacklist and have made many statements against the NRA, thus getting them on the Blacklist.

And both support the candidate with an A+ rating from the NRA.

Yeah....that makes sense.

9. Not every Democrat hinges his or her vote on one issue

some do

2. Woohoo, if Sheen gets involved this will

go somewhere. He's not afraid to jump into the mosh pit.

3. Sheen has such a keen political sense, and cares very much

he supported Matt Gonzalez for Mayor of San Francisco

4. How can you trust him?

He lied to the nation about having MS.

He's no better than Nixon.

5. I saw hints of this on a usenet site a couple of days ago

and got my hopes up that is may be true. Yay good to see confirmation, we need a celebrity on this, now!

6. I'm not president but I play one on TV. And I'm better than the real one.

Thanks President Sheen.
You're the best.

7. edit their text to mention HR 2239, the Voter Confidence Act

If you use their form to fax Congress, I recommend editing their text
to mention HR 2239, the Voter Confidence Act.

Otherwise it will be unclear exactly what you're asking Congress to do.

Information on HR 2239 is at:
