Legislative Update

Congressman Holt’s ‘Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2007’ (H.R. 811), is named like all the other bad bills (Clean Skies, No Child Left Behind, Patriot Act, etc...), assuming we are all dumb! "Confidence" is something a Con-man gets so he can pull a fast one on you.

A "yes" vote on the Holt bill allows the federal government to erect an impenetrable wall between American voters and their votes. It will lock in secret vote-counting technology owned by corporations. The public will be shut out for good. Centralized control of voting is a form of tyranny, pure and simple. Joseph Stalin is said to have explained why: "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."

Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 800-828-0498, and ask for your Representative. Respectfully tell the aide in your Representative's office that you want your Representative to vote against H.R. 811.

Thanks,
Greg

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
