Just signed up for the Obama Voter Protection Program
I received an email from Bob Bauer, General Counsel for Obama For America campaign asking for assistance from lawyers and law students throughout the country on Election Day to protect the rights of voters.

"Attorneys, law students, and those with legal expertise will be essential in making sure every eligible citizen who wants to vote can vote -- and that their vote is counted."

I urge any lawyers or law student who also get this email to sign up immediately so that we will have an true army of lawyers ready on election day so there will be no more Ohios of 2004 or Floridas of 2000. If you are a lawyer or a law student and have not received the email (which I assume came from previous info I sent the campaign), go to this link to sign up:

2. K & R
I'm glad to see they are going to do something about this and not just let the GOP steal the election yet again.

3. I worked with People for the American Way in 2004
on this same issue. People can register with the precinct judges in Texas to watch the poll on behalf of candidates as well.

I watched at a predominantly black precinct in a good-old-boy county here.

We can all be sure that McNutter will have people out. Everyone needs to be signing up to do something now. It's crunch time.

8. Or contact your state party
State parties are working with the attorneys recruited by the Campaign for Change to have Voter Protection lawyers in place on Election Day.


Thanks for signing up and I urge you to get as many colleagues to do the same.

9. kickin, and- sign up to be a judge or at least a poll watcher. elections belong
to US!! but we have to get up and get out, and do it.
i wish that it was like jury duty, where everyone has to do it once or twice.
