Project Myth Breaker
How You Can Help Your County Auditor

1.  Visit www.votersunite.org to learn more about the project.

2.  Sign up to deliver “Myth Breakers for Election Officials” to your county auditor at www.votersunite.org/takeaction/myth-signup1.asp

3.  After you sign up with VotersUnite, please also let Alta Price (aprice@democracyforiowa.com) know that you are planning to participate. This will help her update the media alert that will be sent out on Monday.

4.  If you have not been given a copy of “Myth Breakers for Election Officials,” download one here: www.votersunite.org/takeaction/mythbreakers.pdf

5.  You should have been given a Myth Breakers title page with the name, address, phone and fax numbers, and email address of your county auditor. Use this page as the first page of the document you downloaded in step 4.

(If you were not given such a page, either contact Alta Price, at aprice@democracyforiowa.com to have one sent by email, or use the title page that you downloaded. You will need to locate your county auditor’s office. Check here for your auditor’s name and address.)

6.  Contact other activists and arrange for them to go with you when you deliver the document. Ideally, at least one of you should read it!  If you have questions about the content, contact Ellen Theisen (ellen@votersunite.org). If you can’t get anyone else to go, just go by yourself.

7.  A media alert was sent out April 22 to media throughout Iowa. The same alert will be sent out on Monday, April 26. You should have been given a copy of the first media alert. (If not, contact Alta Price at aprice@democracyforiowa.com for one.) Feel free to use it to contact your local press, using yourself as a local contact. Encourage your local press to cover the event.

8.  Hand-deliver the “Myth Breakers for Election Officials” to your county auditor on Tuesday, April 27. We want to try to do this on the same day to make it more interesting for the press. Obviously, if Tuesday doesn’t work, pick another day.

Tell the election official, “I'm with VotersUnite.org, a non-partisan group of citizens concerned about electronic voting. We want you to have the information you need to make informed decisions about our election systems, and we're delivering copies of “Myth Breakers” to every local election official in Iowa.”

9.  Share your stories with VotersUnite! (www.votersunite.org)  and Blog for Iowa (www.blogforiowa.com).
