Black Box Voting has committed $10,000 to the Stephen Heller Legal Defense Fund. I have spoken to his wife and to Stephen about this. I urge those who are in a position to do so to make the most generous contribution you can.
Please do two things right now to roll back the inappropriate encroachment of punitive government actions against citizens and public officials who have made difficult ethical decisions to fight for your civil rights.
1. First and foremost, please give to the Stephen Heller fund. He was faced with the ethical dilemma from hell. What do you do when a presidential primary is just weeks away, and you are assigned a word processing assignment that has you looking at evidence that the secretary of state is being lied to by the voting machine company counting millions of votes? What do you do when those lies explode into thousands of disenfranchised voters? Nothing?
In times like these, the citizenry depends on honesty and courage like Stephen Heller has shown. If you want citizens of courage like Heller successfully threatened and ultimately silenced, do nothing. If you believe that he went to the front lines for YOUR rights, please give what you can.
Give to Heller's fund first, because that is the most difficult thing to do, and the thing that may cause us to procrastinate.
2. And then, please join the important VoteTrustUSA.org initiative to fight for Ion Sancho. This involves simply clicking a link and sending an important letter to Florida officials.
