Dear New York Friends,

This is the first in a series of quick and simple actions designed to stop computerized voting from coming to NYS and Help Save Our Lever voting machines by letting our Election Commissioners, elected representatives and the press hear from you: New Yorkers who will not be silent while our secure voting system is replaced with "crap".

Please choose one of the sample letters below and e-mail to the NYS Election Commissioners at [e-mail] - Make sure the subject line says "Share with all election commissioners"

We know everyone is pressed for time but the impact of your letter will be enhanced if you are also able to cc your letters to:

-- your state representatives - www.congress.org for email addresses
-- your local media - www.congress.org - for media click on # 8 "media guide."

We encourage you to personalize your letters if you desire and please include your e-mail address and your town. Scroll to end of letters for important information.

2. Last I heard

The new Governor wants to keep the old machines .....but I will write too

[Wilms]

4. Write On!

I read that during the primary, the Gov chose to vote on a lever instead of using a ballot marker.

That's good. But it'll take a lawsuit to keep the levers...and that's what's coming!

9. Where'd you hear that? Sounds very interesting. nt

10. Maybe it was this story.

Even NY's Blind Governor (like most others) Doesn't Use Accessible Ballot Marker. Votes on Levers.

12. I wasn't ASKIN' you Wilms!

The poster said he wants to keep the old machines -- not that he voted on one.

[Bill Bored]

13. Can you tell us more about Governor Paterson wanting to keep levers?

I realize he voted on one in the primary even though he is visually impaired, but I had NOT heard that he wanted to keep the lever machines.:shrug: If this is true, it's important to know, so where'd you hear it?

Thanks!
