Here's the email I received from his campaign office. I contributed. How about you?
Dear Friend,
The day after the election in 2004, we stood together and demanded a full recount of the 2004 presidential vote in Ohio. Like you, I believe that our right to vote is meaningless if our votes are not properly counted. That's why I went to Ohio as lead counsel and fought in the federal courts for the recount to take place.
I am now running for Secretary of State of Massachusetts and I need your help.
This nation needs a Secretary of State who will stand up to those who dare to trample on the right to vote. I am ready to be that Secretary of State. A Secretary of State who will work to build a powerful coalition of other secretaries of state ready to protect the integrity of our electoral process. A Secretary of State who will lead.
PROTECTING OUR RIGHT TO VOTE
I am concerned about the state of our democracy - in Massachusetts and across the nation. That is why I am ready to apply my years of experience as a voting rights leader by running for Secretary of State of Massachusetts. As Secretary of State, I will be a pro-active leader for Massachusetts and for the nation. I will stand up and fight to protect our right to vote, to preserve our democracy, and to create a model for free and fair elections for the country. And I ask for your support.

As the founder of the National Voting Rights Institute and as a public interest attorney, I have been standing up to fight for our democracy: defending the Massachusetts Clean Elections Law against entrenched power resisting a voter mandate to overhaul our state's campaign finance system; challenging George W. Bush in federal court as he marched us into an illegal war in Iraq; and fighting in Ohio in the wake of widespread reports of voting irregularities.

P.S. Congressman John Conyers, Jr. recently announced his endorsement of my candidacy. I am proud to receive this endorsement from this extraordinary leader and look forward, as Massachusetts' Secretary of State, to working with him to preserve our democracy.
