ACTION ALERT: TELL THE LA TIMES ABOUT DIEBOLD!

Since Californians are about to lose their right to vote (for the candidates of their choice, rather than the Republicans Diebold has selected), I thought I'd find something we could do to get the press to cover it. I found it. It is below.

Inundate the LA Times with messages to cover Diebold & SofS

From: LLOYD DENT
Subject: RE: ACTION ALERT! SoS has certified Diebold

Dear Concerned California Voters:

There is something we can do right now! We have not seen any mention of the certification of Diebold machines in the LA Times (Sat or Sun). We can write letters to the Editor about this. We have been told by another group that you are more likely to get a letter published if the Times get a lot of letters on a subject, thereby showing general interest. I will write a letter, and I recommend that you send a message to your group encouraging as many as possible to also send a letter. The letters should not be a form letter, but rather have different approaches.

More information is available at the Secretary of State's website: http://www.ss.ca.gov/ under Voting Systems Information. Friday's Press Release is there, with the Conditions of the conditional certification at the very end of the document.

Inundate the LA Times with messages to cover Diebold & Secty of State

Take a minute to draft a note to the LA Times.

You can talk to them in three ways:

1. Send email to letters@latimes.com.
2. Submit a comment to the Readers Representative on the LA Times (our alleged advocate) at http://www.latimes.com/services/site/la-comment-readersrep-cf,0,3057606.customform.
   
3. You can post on their message board at http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-tsqaure-board,0,2274345.graffitiboard.

Key points to consider:

• The Times is not giving the latest moves regarding our vote adequate coverage.
  
• Diebold has not passed Federal Qualification criteria, yet our Secretary of State gave Diebold what is essentially a green light for CA.
  
• Our County registrar is not responsive to the expressed wishes of the community she allegedly serves.
