Donate to BlackBoxVoting
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 11:21 PM by never_get_over_it
Just heard on Mike Malloy in case you're not listening we can contribute to Bev Harris and her team by sending checks directly to

Black Box Voting
PO Box 25552
Seattle, WA 98165

It saves them credit card % of the contribution so more money goes directly to the cause.

So please send them 5 or 10 bucks - they need our help

You can also do the credit card thing by going to http://www.blackboxvoting.org

1. You Goofed On The Link
You need to spell it correctly before I can bounce to the site without having to type the address.

By the way, what is my $25 going toward?

5. I fixed the link
probably the same time you were posting. My understanding is that they are trying to raise money to pay for all the FOIA (freedom of infomation act) requests they have made. It apparently is very expensive.

THANKS for sending the $25 - they do need our help

15. Here is what the $ is for...
Bev Harris is filing a FOI (Freedom of Information) action to examine the 92,000 discarded ballots and 155,000 provisional ballots in Ohio and view the Source Code on the Diebold machines used in Florida (among other things I assume).

Randi Rhodes first suggested donating on her show. She challanged every person listening online to donate $5.

BBV needs $50,000 to get this done.

9. Now is a critical time
After you give to BBV don't forget the other groups that have worked hard throughout the past year that also need funding to continue the fight.

http://www.votersunite.org

http://www.openvotingconsortium.org

http://www.verifiedvoting.org

and all the other voting advocacy groups that exist.

10. am I the only one who is nervous about Bev's safety? . . .
if/when she starts getting too close to what really happened . . . or starts raising too big a stink . . . or starts being listened to by the media . . . the powers that be are not going to like it one little bit . . . and that makes me nervous . . .

Godspeed, Bev . . .

11. No
You are not - I have been thinking alot about this possibility for the past few days and I am worried....my only solace is that it would be WAY TOO SUSPICIOUS and they are so arrogant they probably think most people would think Bev is loony
