A third and fourth possible involvement would be ask them to suggest another audience, and hand out cards with newspaper editors contact info, ask the audience to jot down those main points on the easel sheet AND WRITE LETTERS TO THE EDITORS (promoting the legislation and perhaps also encouraging more folks to see the video? I wish there were a 10 minute version, people just won't give up their favorite 'reality tv' show to see what's really happening!)
When we've exhausted avenues of our own to show the video, LET'S DONATE IT TO THE LOCAL LIBRARY so it continues to circulate.
And finally, anyone who has a website can be asked to pass the word via their own site - to encourage the letter writing, promote the dvd, link to the legislation, etc.
How else will we make a change?

If you have time, check our site to see what else we are involved in, not least of which is a federal case for church/state separation.

Joan Brunwasser is a co-founder of Citizens for Election Reform (CER) which exists for the sole purpose of raising the public awareness of the critical need for election reform. We aim to restore fair, accurate, transparent, secure elections where votes are cast in private and counted in public. Electronic (computerized) voting systems are simply antithetical to democratic principles.
CER set up a lending library to achieve the widespread distribution of the DVD Invisible Ballots: A temptation for electronic vote fraud. Within eighteen months, the project had distributed over 3200 copies across the country and beyond. CER now concentrates on group showings, OpEd pieces, articles, reviews, interviews, discussion sessions, networking, conferences, anything that promotes awareness of this critical problem. Joan has been Election Integrity Editor for OpEdNews since December, 2005.
