Paper Ballots and Audits in Time for Election Day 2008!
by Kevin Zeese
Tell Your Congressman to Vote for HR 5036 “The Emergency Election Assistance for Secure Elections Act”
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer has scheduled a House Floor vote on “The Emergency Election Assistance for Secure Elections Act” for this Tuesday.
The bill would provide states with funds if they put in place a paper-based voting system with mandatory audits on Election Day. This bill could go a long way to making the vote count of the 2004 election more trustworthy.
TrueVote's goal is as strong a House vote as possible to demonstrate that all Americans agree we need to have a true vote – a vote we can trust. This is a non-partisan issue as election integrity is basic to a functioning democracy. Two steps are needed:
1. 1. Send this article to people you know. We need a strong national vote. The TrueVoteMD.org (an organization which led the efforts to end paperless voting in Maryland) website is set up to send emails to every member of Congress from voters in their district. (ABOVE LINK) Forward this email widely and urge those who receive it to do the same.
2. Send a letter to your representative in Congress. Click ABOVE LINK to send the letter. Only 17 states have a voter verified paper record and require an audit. Key states like Florida, Michigan and Ohio do not require both a paper ballot and audit.
H.R. 5036 will help ensure election integrity in time for the November 2008 election by providing funds for voter verified paper records and audits of the vote on Election Day.
On Tuesday, April 15 the U.S. House of Representatives will vote so please send the letter IMMEDIATELY. Click ABOVE LINK to send the letter.
Counting the vote right in a way people can trust is the foundation of legitimate government. We know the solution. Now we must make transparent democracy national.
WE NEED A NEW PARTY - THE HONEST AMERICAN PEOPLE PARTY!
I AM AMERICAN !
WE NEED A NEW PARTY - THE HONEST AMERICAN PEOPLE PARTY!I am American,not a democrat (1:An advocate of democracy.-The common people, considered as the primary source of political power."YES" 2:A member of the Democratic Party. "NO" )or republican! (1:One who favors a republic-A political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them.- as the best form of government. "YES" 2:A member of the Republican Party. "NO" ) Why does voting have to be secret?All we have to do is publish everyones vote!I'm not afraid of people knowing how I voted.Should I be?Publish everyones vote so they can see if their vote was counted correctly if at all.There would then be no doubt who really won.I will never believe that the American public was ever stupid enough to put Bush in office,EVER!

The Declaration of Independence
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
