For when sigs are turned off, here is mine:

DEMOCRACY Begins At HOME!! Rush Holt’s VOTER CONFIDENCE AND INCREASED ACCESSIBILITY ACT requires VOTING MACHINES in Federal ELECTIONS produce PAPER Records available for Voters as Votes are Cast. The ACT includes, along with other items, MANDATORY MANUAL RECOUNTS, Prohibits the use of WIRELESS NETWORKING Technologies, demands More ROBUST Federal ACCREDITATION and Provides Much-Needed FUNDING.

1. I believe I would rather....

...read the text of HR 550 before I endorse it- after all I am not a politician....

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

3. What's stopping you? It is the most widely endorsed bill for real

election reform.

[bklyncowgirl]

2. Kick for my Congressman

If the Democrats had gotten behind this in a big way in 2004 we might be bitching about President Kerry today.

[helderheid]

7. TOTALLY AGREE!
