A new poll shows Debra Bowen trailing in the all-important Secretary of State's race in CA! She's all that stands between us and Diebold, folks. Now OVC is trying to raise money for a Spanish radio ad tomorrow to help Bowen win. Please help if you possibly can, kick and nominate this thread.
If California turns red, we're all toast!
Dear Friends of Open Voting:
The Democratic Primary race for California Secretary of State this Tuesday is important for the future of democracy. We know that as of now, most voters still haven't thought much about it. Debra Bowen will win or lose depending on what we do in the next three days.
We are reaching voters TODAY, tomorrow, and the next day via email, phone calls, knocking on doors, television, newspapers, on the streets, and every other way we can imagine. Radio ads could be decisive. I urge you to read the message copied below and contribute as much money as you can to support radio ads for Bowen. Can you do that now so we can buy the advertising time for Monday and Tuesday?
Thank you!
Alan Dechert

We've come across some bumps (like the religious station magically deciding that they wouldn't run our ad because "we're not obliged to run ads by PACs"), but we're moving along.
We've raised $1,300 out of our $2,000 target for AM Spanish radio ads in support of Debra Bowen for Secretary of State. This is a project created, run, and funded entirely by the grassroots.
Please take a moment to read below and please give if you can (or pass the email along, if you can). I'd be happy to send you a copy of the ad, hot off the press (studio). Just write me at
[email protected].
Thank you for your support and for passing this e-mail along! Nathan
