Subject: [phillyblocks] Fwd: Join Computer Voting News Conference in Philadelphia


The"Computer Ate My Vote" Campaign Is Coming to Philadelphia

And You're Invited To Join In

The Computer Ate My Vote Campaign has taken off and will land in Philadelphia  this week. You're invited to join our news conference, at 12 noon Tuesday, March 9th, at the state office building (Spring Garden and Broad Sts.)

This week, 14,500 TrueMajority members sent faxes to their Secretaries of State urging them to follow the lead of California and Nevada by requiring computer voting machines to provide a paper ballot as a record. Keep a hard copy we say, so that even a computer crash or hacking cannot ruin an election. (You can learn more here www.truemajority.org/ComputerAteMyVote)

On Feb. 17th, TrueMajority announced this national campaign at a news conference at the Washington, DC annual convention of the National Association of Secretaries of State. The media is deeply interested in this problem, and generated excellent coverage of our proposed solution.

Now, it's on to our target states, including Pennsylvania. TrueMajority member Ed Aguilar is coordinating the press event in Philadelphia, featuring local voting activists and a giant computer voting machine prop just like the one I used at the launch press conference. We need as many of you as possible to come out to show how important reliable voting is to Pennsylvanians! (I know Philadelphia is an unreasonably long drive for some of you, but I wanted to let all our Pennsylvania members know about the event so that you can pass it on to friends who live closer to the capital.)


Let me know if you can make it by sending an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Our Computer Ate My Vote campaign was funded by TrueMajority members who donated over $110,000 last week to help us ensure that American elections are free from computer glitches and manipulation.

All my best,

Ben Cohen
President, TrueMajority.org


P.S. If you know friends who'd like to come along, by all means invite them too.
