Working Assets new Black Box Voting campaign.

[reprehensor]

This month, Working Assets finally gets in on the action with a Citizen Letter campaign.

Here's the message I got in this month's bill:

Require Fail-Safe Electronic Voting Machines

The 2000 presidential election proved that punch-card ballots are not accurate enough to determine a winner in a very close race. So states are turning to electronic voting machines. But how reliable are they? Experts hired to test Maryland's new touch-screen machines easily hacked the system and altered vote counts. In Florida recently, touch-screen machines misread 137 ballots in an election where the margin of victory was 12 vots. Since the machines produce no paper record, a recount was impossible. S. 1980 would require any voting system used in a federal election to produce a paper trail so results can be verified.

--------------------------

The next couple of weeks may be a good time to start a new letter writing campaign to your Senator about S.1980 or to your Congresscritter about HR 2239.

Working Assets can mobilize as many as 60,000 letters and phone calls with a successful campaign.

If we all join them with our own privately initiated letters and calls, the cumulative effect could be quite effective.

And think about joining Working for Change. Our wireless phone is great and our long distance bill is never too outrageous. Every month, you make a donation to progressive causes. It's cool.
