Let's avoid another election steal...
Here's some information about a petition I signed recently. If you are a US citizen, I hope you'll sign too:
Dear friend,
I hope you will join me in signing this petition from MoveOn. It's about the new electronic voting terminals that are being installed in many states.
http://www.moveon.org/protectourvotes/
Too many are "black box" voting machines -- computer terminals that don't produce paper ballots. Without paper ballots, there's no way to know if our votes are counted correctly. Also, computers are vulnerable to malfunction -- how often does yours freeze up?
Every voting method should produce a paper ballot, so we can verify that our votes will count. Join me in calling for paper ballots, at:
http://www.moveon.org/protectourvotes/
Thank you.
I added:
"Please ensure that absentee ballots for voters overseas are sent out early enough for them to arrive in the overseas country, be completed, and be posted back to the USA to arrive before election day (i.e., at least 4 weeks before election day)."

Comments:
I signed up to something recently too, it's more global than 'move on' and as far as I can see has a real chance of working in restoring democracy to the people and solving the world's most unsolvable problems. From reading your weblog I think that its certainly something you would be interested in too.
