Unless there is strong public pressure NOW on Georgia Senate SLOGO members -- that’s the State and Local Government Operations committee -- we will lose a precious opportunity to get voter-verified paper ballots for the November 2004 elections.

Take The Afternoon Off, Show Up In Person -- And Bring Your Friends:

Where:
Legislative Office Building (LOB), Room 310 -- Across the street from the State Capitol, on the south side.

For Details on the committee and the bill:
Go to: http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2003_04/fulltext/sb340.htm

What We Know And Don’t Know:
We have been told that at least the committee will ask to see printer demonstrations, but we don’t know for a fact that the bill will even come up or if a vote will be taken on it. We also don’t know when the bill might possibly be discussed -- just that if it is, it will be sometime between 4:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

This should not deter anyone from showing up!! It is crucial that committee members be made to feel the concern of Georgia voters over this all-important issue!

Please be present to support your democracy!!
