Make Sure Every Vote Counts
Target: Taft, Governor; Bush, GovernorSponsored by: All America PAC
In the 2000 and 2004 general elections, voters in Florida, Ohio and other states were caught up in electoral debacles that led to major problems on Election Day and voter distrust of our election system today.
And despite all the talk and promises of voting reform and improvements, major election issues remain unaddressed, and voters continue to question the integrity of our elections.
The latest problem is the electronic voting machines which were supposed to be part of the solution. These machines leave NO paper record of our votes! They provide no permanent documentation that could prove that votes are being counted accurately. In the world's greatest democracy - a democracy that in recent years has been plagued by faulty elections that undermine voter trust - this is just unacceptable.
Take action! Join Senator Evan Bayh and call on Governor Bush and Governor Taft to lead the way for verified voting in the critical states of Florida and Ohio!

Wake Up America Corporate Scumbags are lining up to steal your votes, all with the Right Wing Neo-Con - Religious Zealots help. No paranoia here, it's true, and if you just sit there it will make the 2000 presidential election look fair by comparison.

The jury is already in on the fallibility of electronic voting machines. Paper audit trails are an easy solution. There isn't an ATM in the world that doesn't provide a receipt for every action. We've all read about the recent misgivings of the Governors of Maryland and New Mexico among countless others and the indepth reporting on the subject on Lou Dobbs, as well as the testimony before Congress where testimony showed that anyone who gets access to the machine and its memory card for literally a minute or two could easily install the group's invisible vote-stealing software on the machine. We cannot tolerate Democracy Theft, American voters must have a paper audit trail. Even the King of Bahrain decided to annul electronic voting planned for later this year after opposition parties said such methods aim to rig the vote.

Lets not stop with just the 'critical' states, this should be a standard for all states. Valid ID should also have to be shown.

"The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." ~ Josef Stalin. And remember, Jesus said it best: "For I was hungry and you gave me no food; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you did not take me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me. Then they also will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then will he answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me." (Matthew 25:42-45) Contained within every evil(greedy profiteering republican) act are the seeds of its own destruction. Adhere to the teachings of Jesus, as contained in The Urantia Book, or else suffer the consequences. It IS that simple. TRUTH has been spoken to power, Peace will prevail. Buck Fush! SUPPORT GLOBAL PEACE AND ECONOMIC STABILITY, AS WELL AS ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY... IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY NOW!

It is clear we cannot trust the Diebold company voting machines. It is a simple matter to hack into them and change results. We must have a paper trail to keep the corrupt ones honest.

There are many reasons Americans have lost faith in their government and faulty polling is certainly one of them.

So the Republicans will not be able to hack the Diebold electronic voting machines like they did in 2000 and 2004 to win the election for Bush.

If you truly believe in Democracy, then you should be sure that all citizens who vote will be assured that their vote will really be counted. Research conducted at Princeton University proved that the Diebold machines can easily be hacked without anyone knowing it. This is theft pure and simple. Clear your consciences, do the right thing by providing verified voting. Thank you.
