Dedicate some time for democracy in the next two days and send your comments in.

Kathy Dopp has a list of the ten loopholes she finds significant.(Below) This is a good starting off place if anyone on this list wants to dedicate some time for democracy in the next two days-pick any one of her points, do some research on the web and send your comments in. She feels the most significant flaw in the bill is the lack of citizen oversight which means that none of its other provisions would be effective.

Sen Feinstein held public hearings on HR811 last Friday.

Public comment on HR 811 can be submitted by email by Wednesday, Feb 14 at 5 PM . The email must be in a Word document - Word or Word Perfect -- and can be sent to :

Adam_Ambrogi @Rules.Senate.gov or to the clerk:
Sue_Wright@Rules.Senate.gov (It's Sue_Wright)

They are not looking for many form letters or a couple of sentences that just say you want a certain system. They're looking for comments that go into some depth on the issue. Don't be inhibited. Send in your comments. For example, let them know if you or a family member or friend witnessed or had an experience with electronic voting machines flipping your vote or refusing to record your vote.

So we have 2 more days. There's a lot of new information & links about election reform in general on websites like VoteTrustUSA & VotersUnite since the Holt Bill was reintroduced.

A link to Holt's bill, so you can read it yourself, is here:
