Uncharacteristically, I don¹t see a copy to Davis Dems.  Will you be at the
Tuesday night fundraiser, by the way?  (7 to 8:30, 3222 Shelter Cover Ave, I
assume she¹ll be there; this is the address where the Champagne Brunch
occurs).  I¹ll be there unless I catch my hubby¹s flu.
 
Adrienne

SUPPORT SEN. DEBRA BOWEN'S PETITION DRIVE
Probably the most pressing political issue for Americans in these troubled
times is the sanctity of the ballot, which in the larger picture means the
counting of it. According to Open Voting Consortium:
<http://www.openvotingconsortium.org>   ³The election system in the United
States can no longer be trusted. Voting machines and the computers that add
vote totals are being run with computer programs or software that can change
vote totals. Where historic voter fraud required dozens of people colluding,
now a small circle of corrupt election officials and voting machine
technicians can skew results.²

The voting machine business interests, virtually all of them supporters of
the Bush regime, keep their software secret and peddle hardware with
³backdoor² entry possibilities. And they think nothing of wining and dining
election officials around California.  The Republicans would like nothing
better than to undermine this state, as they have Florida and Ohio.

Standing in their way has been Sen. Debra Bowen (D-28th Dist.), who has been
carrying water for election protection activists and citizen voters by
presenting and pushing through legislation to protect your vote and mine.
Happily, since she is termed out this year, Sen. Bowen is now running for
Secretary of State <http://www.debrabowen.com>  to take that most important
office out of Republican hands bent on permitting expensive untested voting
systems to be marketed and sold to county elections officials.

Sen. Bowen needs our help.  Running for office is expensive, but one cost
that can be eliminated by citizen action is the collecting of signatures on
petitions to qualify her to run for office.  So here¹s what you can do:
* Collect signatures (including your own) on petition(s) (copied front/back,
a single sheet of paper, links immediately below) containing space for 15
signers and the collecting party¹s information:
Petition front (pdf)

Petition back (pdf)
<http://www.grassrootswest.org/downloads/pdfs/petitionback.pdf>
Sen. Bowen¹s flyer(pdf)
<http://www.grassrootswest.org/downloads/pdfs/bowenflyer.pdf>
* Contact your friends to get them to do the same.
* Mail the signed petition(s) (even if you¹re the only signer, and make sure
to complete the "affidavit of circulator" on the back) to Sen. Bowen¹s
campaign headquarters to arrive by February 17:  Debra Bowen for Secretary
of State, 578 Washington Blvd, #409, Marina del Rey, CA 90292.
* If you cannot print out the petition forms but want to collect signatures,
email GrassrootsWest.org <mailto:info at grassrootswest.org>  or call 707
794-9259. 
* Donate <http://www.debrabowen.com>  to Sen. Debra Bowen¹s campaign.
