6. Raise money for election justice and reform groups

Current needs are high for USCountVotes.org, OpenVoting.org and the attorneys who are fighting sanctions for Moss v. Bush (contact freepress.org).

Other groups are also in need of financial support so that they can do their crucial work without having to use a lot of their time and energy drumming up funding.

8. is there a page I can link to

about donating to the Moss/Bush backlash fund? is there a specific page on freepress, if there is I can link to it

thanks

13. Here's the link

http://freepress.org/store.php#donate
This will take you to the freepress.org donation site. One of the items there is donating to defense against the sanctions.

7. thanks

this probably belongs on the links page, I'm looking more for specific things people can do, like sign a petition, fax their reps about a pending issue, etc.
I put it in the que and will be added to the most appropriate place on the new solar bus site.

thanks for your good work

2. Get "Mythbreakers" to legislators, especially in CA

and contact all California state legislators about the importance of voter verified paper ballots and other protections for our elections.

[garybeck]

9. Thanks, I got that one :)

[emlev]

3. Educate, educate, educate everyone about the theft

of the election. Many, many people still really do not know.

[garybeck]

10. yes, agreed

in addition to the "top 5 action items" another section is called "be the media" which is exactly what you're talking about.

thanks

14. Great. Get one of the "action items" to link to Be the Media

[garybeck]

16. they're going to be right next to each other

they're closely related... if I can't come up with specific tasks for people to do besides being the media, i might put the action items section on hold. or i'll just combine them into one. for now the 'be the media' is specifically for tools to help you get the word out. the action items would be more for links to websites with tools and info on specific actions people can take beyond spreading the word.

thanks

4. Build alliances

with people who you disagree with about some things. There are many honest conservatives who want clean elections. We need to be working with them, whether they're in Congress or on your kid's soccer team or living across the hall or the street from you.

5. Further the investigation of the stolen election

Help gather evidence, research "sunshine laws" that could get investigators access to evidence, research possible legal strategies for bringing the culprits to justice. Create strategies no one has thought of yet.

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who wants to work on any of these things.

11. Object to all secrecy or nonverifiability of vote COUNTING

and citizens should be able to monitor without having to hire an expert.

[garybeck]

12. thanks, i'm looking for specific tasks people can do, that can be linked

many action items have a web page in existence, where people can click on links to email their reps, or send faxes, etc. that's what I'm looking for here.

15. We need to get off the computer and on the streets talking to people

We can do this through tabling efforts, passing out pamphlets. We need to now use the information we have and now and share it with others who don't have the information. It's time to leave the sidelines for a while and start doing the real work. I'm saying that to myself as much as anyone here.

We won't be able to make the necessary changes needed in front of our computers. We've done alot of great work no question there, but we need to take the information where its sorely needed, which is into our neighborhoods, into places where people don't have alot of computer access. We need to take it to small businesses and outside in front of Starbucks.


We need to be connecting with other people that don't have this information and let them know how important it is TO have the information.

17. I will come back to this later tonight! n/t
