* We have over 2,000 signatures on a citizen petition and recently created a new site to make signing the petition easier.

* We prepared litigation to have ERMA declared unconstitutional.

* We reached out to law firms in New York State, inviting participation in this suit since a suit of this magnitude requires more legal resources than one attorney can handle alone.

* We have reached out to experts we know in the field and have found many willing to testify at a trial, if necessary.

* We continue to publish articles, the latest one that sums it all up is "Nullifying the Consent of the Governed : http://www.opednews.com/articles/New-York-s-New-Voting-Syst-by-andi-novick-090718-710.html

Where things stand:

* We have run out of money.

* It has been very difficult to find a law firm that can afford to take this case on a pro bono basis, although a number of firms are considering making that sacrifice. Even if they are willing to provide legal services on a pro bono basis, there are other expenses of litigation that will need to be covered.

What we need:

* Legal help

* Donations: http://ihcenter.org/groups/re-mediaetc

* 10,000 more names on the petition. We created a new petition site because so many people had technical difficulties with the old site. Please sign this petition:http://www.petitiononline.com/etcnysls/petition.html

(we'll worry about duplicates so don't worry if you can't recall if you signed the earlier petition) and circulate this petition widely. A third of the counties have passed resolutions and many other counties are in favor of retaining the levers even if they haven't passed a resolution. We should have equal representation amongst our citizens. Go to: http://www.petitiononline.com/etcnysls/petition.html
