Election Survey
With respect to the news snip below, is the Missouri Democratic Party involved? Are citizens invited to participate?

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the 42nd anniversary
of the signing of the Voting Rights Act approaches, the Democratic National
Committee today announced its unprecedented 50-state election protection
effort to prepare for the 2008 election. When signing the Voting Rights Act
of 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson said that the "right to vote is the
basic right without which all others are meaningless. It gives people,
people as individuals, control over their own destinies." But nearly 42
years after the signing of this legislation, the right to vote is still
under assault.

Through its 50 State Strategy, Voting Rights Institute and National
Lawyers Council, the DNC is conducting an in-depth nationwide survey to
collect critical data on voting practices and procedures at the local
level.
