MoveOn: Count Every Vote – Act Now!

[GregD]

Dear friends,

http://www.usvip.org is a new organization that has formed in recent weeks. We are a media project targeting electoral integrity, transparency and reform. One of our core team members is David Mathison, a former Reuters Vice President. As we move forward, we plan to assist the larger community of voting-rights and election reform activists by helping to frame the debate (concerning such reform), to serve as a clearinghouse of information related to media coverage of those efforts, and strategies to convince them to improve such coverage.

One of the first efforts of USVIP.org is to ask MoveOn to support the initiatives we list in the post below. If you would like to support our campaign, please go to this page, log in (registration required), find our post, check "Agree", and give it 5 stars. Then hit submit.

More details are here. Please be sure to register with us so we can keep you alerted as to upcoming actions.


Under the heading Count Every Vote - Act Now!, we have urged MoveOn to support these goals:

Electoral Reform, Step 1: COMPLETE THE VOTE!
Electoral Integrity was the top priority of MoveOn members at last month's house party. We took the first step with the "Get Out the Vote" campaign. Thanks to us (the MoveOn members), millions more citizens participated and exercised their right to vote. Now that the votes are in, they need to be openly and fairly counted.

The US General Accountability Office is investigating more than 57,000 irregularities reported by the Judiciary Committee. New counts are underway in Ohio and New Hampshire. Two lawsuits have been filed in Florida.

Let’s take the next logical step and join a “Complete The Vote” campaign. Safeguarding the sacred ground of democracy requires us to take action NOW. Here’s how:

1. Sign MoveOn’s petition to investigate the vote, and forward it to your contacts
2. Write and call the media. Ask for increased coverage.
3. Call your representatives via the U.S. capitol switchboard (1-800-839-5276). Insist that all ballots be considered for a new count to complete the election.

Require integrity and fairness TODAY. Take a decisive step towards electoral reform. Make the call for honest elections now - COMPLETE THE VOTE!
