>opportunity to make a real difference.

>As of today, 20 states have passed "paper trail" laws - a tremendous 
>achievement. (Two of these bills await the governor's signature to 
>become law.) However, these laws are not equally effective; while 
>some are terrific, others are weak. Some have a long waiting period 
>before they go into effect.
>
>There is a better way. As you know, Congressman Rush Holt (D-NJ) and 
>Senators John Ensign (R-NV) and Harry Reid (D-NV) have introduced 
>bills in the House and the Senate respectively - 
><http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?ID=M68816246524439714607365>H.R. 550 
>and <http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?ID=M68816256524439714607365>S. 
>330 - that would make voter verified paper ballots mandatory across 
>the country. Unfortunately, both bills are stuck in committee.
>
>So let's get them moving! Come to Washington, DC, on 
><http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?ID=M68817336524439714607365>June 9 
>and 10 to talk directly with members of Congress. With enough 
>co-signers onboard, we can get this legislation to the floor for a 
>vote.
