THE LET AMERICA VOTE ACT!
Call on Congress to immediately pass
'EMERGENCY PAPER BALLOT LEGISLATION'
...before they leave for the Election Recess! Just 4 days left!
Every Registered American Voter Must Be Allowed to Vote This November!

=====================================================

September 26, 2006

Dear XXXXX,

Given this year's primary election meltdowns and train wrecks -- that both
VR and The BRAD BLOG have been covering since March 7th of this year -- in
which electronic voting machines have failed to start up and thousands of
American voters have been turned away from the polls when they came to
vote, but couldn't…Given the fact that one such meltdown occurred recently
in the September 12th primary in Maryland, where many of the DC media and
politicos live -- after which the state's Republican governor has called
for all paper ballots this November…

Given VelvetRevolution's new Princeton Diebold Virus Hack report
demonstrating conclusively that electronic voting machines may be hacked
in a minute's time resulting in flipped elections without a trace left
behind…

Giving that American democracy and the right to vote in that democracy
ought to be a beacon to the world…

It is NOW time for Emergency Paper Ballot Legislation to be brought and
passed immediately by both houses of the U.S. Congress, in order to at
least mitigate the coming train wreck this November 7th.

We've decided to call it the Let America Vote Act (LAVA) of 2006…And
here's basically what we're asking Congress to both introduce and pass in
the 5 or fewer legislative days left before they recess for the election
(but we're gonna need your help!)

Essentially, it'll read as simply as this:

====
LET AMERICA VOTE ACT
(EMERGENCY PAPER BALLOT MANDATE OF 2006)

Emergency paper ballots shall be made available at every voting
jurisdiction in the United States during the November 7th, 2006 General
Election. These paper ballots shall be available in sufficient numbers for
optional use by voters who prefer to use them, and by all voters in the
event of voting machine failure or unavailability. These paper ballots are
not to be provisional ballots, but regular paper ballots that shall be
counted immediately upon the close of polls on election night along with
all other votes cast by properly registered voters.

It shall be illegal to turn away a legally registered voter from the polls
without allowing them to cast a ballot!

There is little else that can be done legislatively on the Federal level
between now and November 8th. Congress has done been unable to do anything
to ensure the accuracy and integrity of your vote for the last several
years. This is their last chance to do so.

If you fill out only one online letter to Congress this year, VR urges you
to let it be this one! The good folks at the SoS Project have made it
simple.

It'll take 30 seconds to let Congress know it's time to assure that
everyone who shows up to vote this year will be allowed to vote!

Democracy is at stake. After at least two years of reporting in exhaustive
details on these matters here, and at this late stage of the game, I
believe the above "reform" is, unfortunately, the most we can likely hope
for in time to have any real impact in mitigating a full-on train wreck
during this November's crucial exercise of the rite of democracy.

Please forward this item to everybody you know!
