Final Push for HR550: Need for as many emails as possible.

I just got this email. Others will be getting it too I'm sure.

Please add your voice, your emails to your representatives in Congress and to all your friends so that they might do the same. I've sent a copy to everybody on my mailing list, and I have a pretty big one.

Remember this is the most non-partisan issue possible. Everywhere a state legislature has faced a bill like this, WHERE PEOPLE AND NEWSPAPERS ARE AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING, the vote has been almost unanimous in favor.

Don't let the do-nothings in Congress prevent this bill from getting voted on. Contact as many people and newspapers as possible.

Here's the email:


TELL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE TO PASS H.R. 550 AS WRITTEN

In the next two weeks there will be a final push to get H.R. 550, a bill introduced by Rep. Holt of New Jersey, on the House floor. H.R. 550 would protect the integrity of our elections by requiring a voter verified paper record of every vote, requiring mandatory random hand counted audits to verify the accuracy of electronic tallies, which is the only way to ever conduct an audit we can trust. It will also prohibit the use of secret software and wireless communication devices in voting machines.

The recent change in leadership of the Committee on House Administration has created a new opportunity for passage of this vital election integrity measure. Previous constituent meetings in June and August of 2005 were a huge success, generating 24 new co-sponsors on the bill from both parties. In addition, 27 States have now passed voter-verified paper record requirements.

THERE ARE THREE WAYS YOU CAN HELP -- lobby in person in Washington, D.C. or your home district . . . and/or sign the petition:

It got 4 within 24 hours, one shy of the count needed to get onto the "greatest" page.

People.....how will voting reform issues get wider attention if we do not nominate good forum posts?

Post a link to this thread on GD and GDP, and nominate it!
