The Threat of Computerized Voting Machines
by MARTIN SHEEN

As a member of TrueMajority, I am concerned about the threat posed by new computerized voting machines.

We start with a principle so obvious it seems strange even to write it: For a democracy to work, the people must believe that balloting is conducted fairly and votes are counted accurately.

Americans feel justifiable pride that our nation has created a system to ensure this, including provisions for recounts.

1. Apologies if this is a dupe...

It seems that the column is in fact a replication of the information on this page

http://action.truemajority.com/action/index.asp?step=2&item=10109&ms=cvmm1&ref=30326

Which is a form for truemajority members to post letters to their senators on BBV...

Is pretty cool and Google says it went up yesterday...

3. Excellent

Thanks for posting this.

Have you guys seen Martin Sheen on Inside the Actors' Studio on Bravo? He's wonderful. Among other things, he talks about his activism and why he takes the risks he does and how he got involved in protests and civil disobedience. It is very inspiring to hear him.

At the end, he quotes a poem by Rabindranath Tagore called Heaven of Freedom. (I hope I won't get in trouble for quoting it here.)

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by Thee to ever-widening thought and action –

Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.


The audience of young actors and film students had tears in their eyes when he finished.
