Paper Ballots and Audits in Time for Election Day 2008!
Tell Your Congressional Rep. to Vote for HR 5036 "The Emergency Election
Assistance for Secure Elections Act"

Americans need to be able to trust the counting of the vote on Election Day.
Paperless electronic voting is rife with computer mistakes and security
problems. Only 17 states have a voter verified paper record and require an
audit. With no paper record it is impossible to audit the vote and we cannot
be sure the vote was counted accurately. Peace voters can only have an
impact if we are sure our votes are counted as they are cast.

On Tuesday, April 15, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on a bill
that will help ensure election integrity in time for the November 2008 by
providing funds to states for voter-verified paper records and audits of the
vote on Election Day.

Please send the letter below to your member of Congress IMMEDIATELY. CLICK

<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1331/t/3732/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=
24140> to send the letter from the website of an allied organization
TrueVote. The U.S. House of Representatives needs to show overwhelming
bi-partisan support for this bill so the Senate will quickly act and
President Bush will sign the bill.
