----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We’d ALL like to think that Rush Holt's bill H.R. 811, the “The Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act” is a good thing. But just like “The Patriot Act,” “No Child Left Behind,” and the “The Healthy Forests Act,” the name doesn't match the reality. then why have some big names “signed on” to support H.R. 811? H.R. 811 is being sold as “Banning Paperless Voting,” The Holt Bill opens the back door to REQUIRING computers in every polling place, HR 811 gives permanent CONTROL over THE NATION'S VOTING EQUIPMENT to the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) -- FOUR WHITE HOUSE APPOINTEES! http://www.electiondefensealliance.org/Halt811 [1] Click Link Above > See Model Letter > Copy > Paste > Personalize > Print > FAX, Phone, and E-mail to Congress Click this Link to Invite Friends to Subscribe [4] for Election Defense Alliance alerts like this one.

ELECTION DEFENSE ALLIANCE ACTION ALERT:
Halt Holt! Warn Congress to Block HR 811!
H.R. 811: A Clear and Present Danger to Democracy!DO YOU WANT:
IF IT’S SO BAD
Well-intentioned groups (such as MoveOn and PFAW)--even a small number of voting activist groups--
have been fooled by the PR spin on the Holt Bill (H.R. 811).
but here’s what's hidden in the fine print:
HR 811 ACTUALLY REQUIRES MORE COMPUTERIZED VOTING!
mandating a new generation of unnecessary, unproven computerized voting technology,
adding more secret software to our elections,
and sending at least another $4 BILLION of our taxpayer money to the electronic voting industry
-and-
H.R. 811 EMPOWERS THE PRESIDENCY TO CONTROL THE NATION’S VOTING SYSTEMS!
