SUPPORT VIVA 2005: For Voter Verified Paper Ballots
From: the National Ballot Integrity Project
Action Alert Day One
January 31, 2005
Voter Verified Paper Ballots
are the essential first step towards a trustworthy election. VIVA 2005
makes Voter Verified Paper Ballots mandatory for federal elections.
Senator Ensign (R-NV)
will introduce VIVA 2005 if other Republican Senators will cosponsor
this worthy bill. Joan Krawitz, Andy Stephensen, Warren Stewart, and
Cheryl Lilienstein, of the National Ballot Integrity Project, will be
in Washington DC urging Republican Senators to cosponsor VIVA 2005,
this Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Please help us by making the phones of Republican Senators ring. Urge them to cosponsor VIVA 2005.
You will be making history again.
Here’s our request:
If you
live in a state with a Republican Senator or two, just call them, and
ask them to cosponsor VIVA 2005. I would give you the toll free number
for the US Capitol Switchboard, but they just disconnected it…I guess
this means they got too many calls? So, use your cell phone.
US Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121. Monday-Friday 9 AM to 5 PM.
(Ask for Sen. Chuck Grassley)

And please, forward this request to your lists: VIVA 2005 is the first step in election justice.
