BBV - How about creating commercials like MoveOn did?
I spotted at least one DUer (TBTM) that created entries for MoveOn. Are there more video producers here?

What are people's thoughts on creating commercials for the electronic voting issue?

Anyone have ideas on how to effectively communicate this message?

VV.org will start fundraising shortly, and it is not impossible that we will find ourselves with options in terms of hitting the airwaves with some ads. Anyone have a concept and want to produce some work just like was done for MoveOn?

5. We are counting on that.
This is too important to simply lay down for.

4. I titled it BBV so it would be recognized,
but I run www.verifiedvoting.org.

We are incorporating, already have some commitments for funding, and will initiate fundrasing as soon as the papers have been files.

That's about all I can say at this point, other than the fact that we've been setting the stage for incorporation for some weeks now.

So I have reasone to believe that if we did have some well-produced ads, presenting the issue on an easy-to-understand and non-partisan basis, they could be used.

At a minimum the ads would be made available on our site.

6. The Folks at BBV Got Into This Some Time Ago
Greg,

Folks over at blackboxvoting.org, were working on ideas for videos several stite take downs ago.

I think we've got some production-types on the roster. I know we had ideas being bounced around.

I'd get in touch with Bev and save some ground work on this one.

People can also donate to BBV.org now, too.

I think we can and are going after some different things, and that is good. But talk to Bev, I think you can get a running start on the video thing.

3. Good idea
People respond well to sound bytes and video clips. If we get them interested and angry enough, they may be willing to research the matter further.

7. I love this idea!!
I am willing to donate because our vote is priceless! How about one showing a 15 year old hacker changing results as they are uploaded from the precinct to the county? The ideas are as endless as the security holes....
