BBV: HR2239 has 125 cosponsors. This is huge!

[GregD]

We got 7 more today, including Susan Davis, a Republican from the San Diego area.

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d108:HR02239:@@@P

Rep. Jose E. Serrano (NY-16) - Dem
Rep. Susan A. Davis (CA-53) - Dem
Rep. Jay Inslee (WA-1) - Dem
Rep. Gary L. Ackerman (NY-5) - Dem
Rep. Joseph Crowley (NY-7) - Dem
Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-1) - Dem
Rep. Bobby Rush (IL-1) - Dem


I spoke to Holt's office on Monday and they told me that 125 was the magic number. We had already heard this from a Republican, and it was confirmed by Holt's staff. With 125 public cosponsors, there will be that many more silently waiting to vote the bill up. We're there!

People! Please, we need a HUGE PUSH to get S1980 moved through fast.

If you are in New York, go see Clinton and beg her to withdraw her bill. Bay Area folks, please go see Boxer and ask the same. Her bill is goodness, but aspects cannot be implemented by November, and we are not willing to fight for it like we will for S1980. http://www.verifiedvoting.org/senate_bill_comparison.asp

And everyone else, PLEASE call your Senators. Talk to their staff. Go have meetings. Fax them letters (e-mail is probably dumped.) Point to BlackBoxVoting.org and VerifiedVoting.org. Show them all the problems from recent elections. Tell them we need a smooth election in November, not another mess like last time.

Help us - let's get this done, we still have time!


on edit, had Susan Davis listed as a Republican. My mistake.

8. Washington Du'ers

When I called Murray's office, even the front staff seemed fully aware. Need to nudge them into action.

A call to Cantwell's office produce a rather, "Ho Hum" attitude.

Encourage Murray to act NOW, deluge Cantwell's office and get them on track.

20. Keep Calling!

It Works!

[OzarkDem]

21. Flood the Senate with phone calls & faxes!

Let your senators hear from you, they're waiting for your call!

[RedEagle]

22. Back up for this evening

If you haven't called and emailed your representative or senator, do so now. Keep pushing until they listen!

[RedEagle]

23. Verified Voting working very hard on this issue

We not only have to make them aware of the problem, we have to get them to fix it.

The Holt and Graham bills are a big first step in that direction.

We HAVE to have mandatory paper ballots we can audit in November.

Get these bills moving!
