Reply #148: David Allen helping North Carolina Activists, important

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

To Bev Harris:

Perhaps you will read this.


The N.C. Coalition for Verified Voting found David Allen several months ago.
He is a valuable assett to our group as a speaker and
also in meetings with election officials.

Our group greatly appreciates the time that David has given us in
speaking publicly.

David presents the issues very concisely and matter of factly, without a lot of emotional harranging.

Our group runs on $0.00 funds, a yahoo message board
(for communication purposes) and a website (bargain basement with web-
builder).

I myself have spent hours every day on this subject since mid
January of this year when I found that there was no group for North
Carolina.

Unfortunately, Bev's public war against David is hurting our cause in North Carolina.

Bev, would you please consider either putting this issue to rest, or

keeping it private? Finish it.

We need David - he is the best speaker
we can possibly get for our state.

NORTH CAROLINA IS IN A CRISIS SITUATION!
1. We already have DREs in 40 of 100 counties
2. State law bans punch cards and levers effective Jan 2006
3. Our Executive Director of the NC SBOE is a board member for
"The Election Center"
4. Many of the county election directors are members of "The Election Center".
5. The NC SBOE refuses to certify any new machines,
so we have no chance of a snowflake in *#$&@ of getting VVPB DREs.

So at the risk of being the subject of your anger and fury,
I ask you to settle your disagreements privately and with dignity and grace.

So far, Verified Voting was the first organization to help us.

Then, Voters Unite helped us, and all states.

Finally, the July 13th Computer Ate My Vote Rally kicked in,
and help was on the way for all of us.

Common Cause NC has joined us,
and their NC Co-Chair has been a great assett.

But the fact is, we have no speaker near the caliber of David Allen.

So, keep your personal or legal problems private.
It hurts us all, and I would rather see you helping my state,
which has 7,363 paperless DREs,
than spending your time posting on the Democratic Underground.

I can only imagine how different things would be for my state if the
energy you spent posting on DU was spent instead on helping North Carolina.

Now, Bev, you may not want to help North Carolina, but so be it.
We are drowning here anyway, and your attacks against David have hurt our cause. Our state is heading to 100% paperless DREs,
because we need alot of help.

I guess if a person apologized for slandering someone,
that might put them at risk of lawsuit, I dont know or care.

Just please do things the right way.
David is not hoarding great wealth of stolen moneys.
He is an every day guy with extraordinary talent
but living an every day life.

Spare us all the further embarrassment of a public harangue.

If you wont help us, quit hurting us.
