Seeking members for activist group on election reform/public awarenes

http://groups.myspace.com/podvotingrights

Pod stands for Preserve Our Democracy

This is an ACTIVISM group and requires time and committment. It is NOT just a discussion group. About the group:

1. Develop a education program for grass-roots volunteers to present to their communities on the current state of the American election system. Specifically, this will cover the problems with unsecured, hackable voting machines, deliberate attempts by certain groups and individuals to disenfranchise minority voters, Republican refusal to allow election reform legislation come to the floor, etc...

2. Develop a network of volunteers to:

Meet with democratic and progressive community leaders to join our cause. Work with leaders to give exposure to our cause and develop solutions for creating secure elections.

Present the program to communities nationwide, and get the American public active in reclaiming a transparent, verifiable, and accessible voting system.

This group will require people who are willing to work together to brain-storm, problem-solve, resource, and network on the local, state, and national levels. We need volunteers from all fifty states. I am looking for a state leader who recruit county and city leaders.

It is important to remember when joining that we are seeking to develop a factual, objective, and resourceable program to give our cause credence and credibility. If you are interested, please join the group and add me to your friends list. I am hoping to have a network in place by the end of 2007 to implement the actual program.
