Election Protection Coalition launches hotline!
I'm excited to announce that we have officially launched the Election Protection Hotline and website!

These tools - combined with our legal volunteers in the field - make Election Protection 2008 the most comprehensive voter services program in history.

As an Election Protection supporter, you know all too well how important that is. You know the challenges voters can face when they go to the polls.

That's why I have a favor to ask: will you make sure voters hear about these critical resources by asking the media to report on them?

Click here to tell the media to report and publicize the Election Protection Hotline and www.866OurVote.org, two crucial resources for voters.

Election Protection 2008 has put together an unprecedented set of resources to protect voters:

The 1-866-OUR-VOTE Hotline, which connects voters with trained volunteers to answer any question they have, from registering to vote, to finding their polling place locations, to reporting Election Day problems and more.
The Election Protection website, www.866OurVote.org, engineered to be a resource for voters and volunteers in all 50 states, with easy-to-find tips, up-to-date news, and much more.
Our legal field program, with legal volunteers on the ground at polling places cross the country
Election Protection will be there for voters if they struggle with an overwhelmed system, poorly trained poll-workers, registration roll problems, or outright intimidation and deception. But we can't help if they don't know about the resources available to them!

The right to vote is too important, and the potential obstacles too real, for us to fail to make sure every voter knows about Election Protection. You can help: tell the media to report on and publicize the Hotline and www.866OurVote.org!

Make sure that voters are aware of the resources available to them. Tell the media to report on the Election Protection Hotline and website.

The more voters know about these resources, the more votes Election Protection will be able to save in November. So after sending your message, please forward this email to your friends and family and ask them to join you!

Together, we can make sure that when voters face problems at the polls, they know where to turn. Thanks for your help

Sincerely,

Jonah Goldman

Director,
National Campaign for Fair Elections
Legal Leader of the Election Protection Coalition
