Plea on behalf of Steve Heller, Diebold whistleblower
Advertisements [?]
Hello to the family and friends of Steve Heller. My name is Peter
Soby, Jr. I am a very close friend of Steve's. I am writing on his
behalf, with the advice and consent of his lawyer, because Steve is
in serious legal trouble and he needs our help - not $$ help, but
help by writing a letter, making a phone call, sending a fax or an
email, things just about anyone can do.

Steve is a whistleblower; he is alleged to have seen and then exposed
legal documents showing that Diebold Election Systems, Inc., the
country's leading manufacturer of electronic voting machines and
voting machine software, was using illegal, uncertified software in
their California voting machines. He has been charged with 3
felonies, which is an outrageous abuse of the law and of power.
Details on what is happening to Steve and how to help are in the
following links. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone
and everyone. Read on...

First, here is a link to a story in the Feb. 22 edition of the Los
Angeles Times. If for some reason you cannot open the link, let me
know and I will email you the text of the article.

Man Pleads Not Guilty in Voting Device Case

Now, here are more details on this situation, with corroborating
links, from I post I wrote for Arianna Huffington's blog. This is
the link with important information on how to help Steve Heller.

Another way to help Steve is by writing a letter to the editor of the
Los Angeles Times. You can use the same talking points from my post
(the link above) in your letter to the editor. Directions on how to
send a letter to the editor can be found at this link under
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/letters/ Their snail mail
address is Letters to the Editor, Los Angeles Times, 202 W. 1st
Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012. They want letters to be 150 words or
less, with your name, address and daytime phone number.

The next link is to a post from the same blog written by Lyn Davis Lear

Whistleblower Hero is Threatened with Prison for Exposing Diebold
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lyn-lear/whistleblower-hero-is-thr_b_16409.html

I thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give Steve.
He is a patriot and a whistleblower and should not be prosecuted.
And again, this email can be forwarded to anyone you think might be
interested.

Sincerely,

Peter Soby, Jr.
