Sign up today to order a bunch of DVDs and get them out there circulating. Contact your network of legislators, local media and any influential individuals you can think of. Apprise yourself about election developments on the national and local level. (Again, I highly recommend signing up online for John Gideon's Daily Voting News (put out by VotersUnite.org and VoteTrustUSA.org).

Then, talk about this subject with everyone you know, in the grocery line, at your kids' school, with your friends and neighbors. Ignorance is not an excuse and won't save our democracy from leaching away. Risk being tiresome. There's too much at stake to simply wait for people to come to their senses. Emphasize what we all believe, rather than approaching this in a divisive, partisan manner. Learn what I did from my conversation with Frank of Kansas City. All of us share a commitment to having as many people vote as possible and assuring that each vote is counted accurately and securely. "Count every vote and make every vote count." That's it, in a nutshell. Now, go get ‘em!

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.
