The race for California Secretary of State is perhaps the most important election in the country, in terms of its ramifications for the 2008 presidential election. Debra Bowen was the first candidate endorsed by CFD in this midterm election, primarily because she is so eminently qualified for this highly important position. She is a state senator who repeatedly has initiated legislation to preserve our voting rights and our interest in fair elections. She is the most expert of all California legislators in the area of election rights, and we are truly fortunate to have a champion willing to fight for us and serve in this critical position. For those of us who remember Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004, we need Debra Bowen as California Secretary of State to prevent yet another stolen presidential election in 2008.

Her opponent, Bruce McPherson, is not actually an elected official, but was appointed to the position by Gov. Schwarzenegger when a scandal was concocted and forced the resignation of the Democrat who had been elected. McPherson’s goal is to use the Diebold voting machines throughout California and ignore their documented vulnerabilities to hacking and other systemic flaws, while Bowen supports verifiable voting with a paper trail. The contrast between the candidates is stark, and the implications of this race are truly national in nature.

This California Secretary of State race is extremely important - Bush/Rove and the rest of the republicans are counting on pushing McPherson right on though, so McPherson can push the republicans right on through in California in 2008.

The republicans will spend as much money as it takes, they'll put pressure on newspapers to endorse McPherson, whatever it takes, this race is so critical for the republicans, to be able to steal California. The republicans desperately want & need a republican Secretary of State counting the votes in the 2008 elections. The republicans know they can't win CA - legally or fairly, there is no way! The republican must steal it ….and no easier way than though the Secretary of States office via the Diebold electronic voting machines “counting” the votes.

Bowen is very well informed, the Diebold voting machines, (and just as the elected Democratic former Secretary of State, Kevin Shelley was), Bowen is completely against having the Diebold machines in the State of California...One of the reasons was the behind the scenes tactics, forcing the elected Democrat Shelley to resign. As planned it then became republican Guv Arnold’s job to appoint another republican (Bruce McPherson) as CA Sec. of State. Immediately McPherson lied and started allowing the TESTED as unreliable & extremely hackable Diebold machines into California against many protests. And McPherson has since refused and canceled promised appearances to discuss it...

We all saw what happened this past June in San Diego...It’s whomever the untraceable votes the Diebold machines say is the winner, becomes the winner. Officially counted and certified by the Secretary of State, Republican McPherson's office. Even though the machines can and have never proved who really won or lost.

This is the most important race in California and maybe the whole country, If one thinks about it in terms of California’s electoral votes (55) the most by far in the country, in the 2008 presidential election as well as California sends the most representatives to Congress than any other state in the country. Its not hard to see how important it is to try and get Democrat Debra Bowen elected as CA Secretary of State…

However, the republicans in CA are keeping this CA Secretary of State race very low key right now, but be sure before November 7th - there will a huge republican money blitz supporting republican McPherson while the again popular Republican Governor Schwarzenegger will be giving McPherson his endorsement…(count on it).

Bowen needs and deserves our help, support & our donations...

PLEASE DONATE.... WE must make sure DEBRA BOWEN wins.



SUPPORT DEBRA BOWEN FOR CA SECRETARY OF STATE!
