Please ask Howard Dean to protect our vote. It will take only five minutes.
I've posted in GD before about how the Republicans have set up "vote caging" operations all over the country. And about how they passed the "Help America Vote Act" so they could manipulate digital voter registration databases to DISAPPEAR our registrations.

Don't let them do it again. We've had enough, haven't we?

Howard Dean is on a voter registration trek right now. Please let him know that our votes must be protected. From our DU Activist Corp Action:


DU ACTIVIST CORPS ACTION: HELP PREVENT REPUBLICAN ELECTION FRAUD

For years now, Republicans have been quietly using "voter fraud" laws to perpetrate election fraud. According to a recent story in the American Prospect, "Using the Department of Justice, friendly governors, and its usual propaganda outlets, the GOP has propagated the myth of voter fraud to purge the rolls of non-Republicans."

Democrats all over the country need to check their registrations and make sure they are still eligible to vote in the November elections. This week's action is to write an email or letter to Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and encourage him to make all Democrats aware that they may be prevented from voting in November, and to take action now to prevent any problems on election day.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=106&topic_id=32512&mesg_id=32512

This may be the most important thing you can do to elect our candidate this year. If you ever asked, why didn't anyone do anything about election fraud -- you can do something about election fraud today.

Go, DU!

1. Are there any concrete examples of invalid caging?
Some instances of people who have done nothing wrong and getting their voting rights revoked?

4. Caging is illegal so there is no valid caging.
Greg Palast did great reporting on how the Republicans caged student, military and black votes. I believe he put it all together in a film called, "The Election Files".

5. This is EXPECIALLY urgent while corporate media keeps pretending
that the race is
really really really close..

All they have to do is make it "close enough" to steal.

10. And Andy showed Howard how to flip votes on the Diebold machines.
Dr. Dean knows exactly what the problems are.

Let's please help him to focus and secure our votes.

15. There's a video on You Tube that demonstrates how easy it is
I'm not posting the link, because of who is in the video with Dr. Dean (it's not Andy).
