Dirty Tricks

 

Dear Bob,

We are learning about new tricks being pulled by Republicans every day across the battleground states.  And for months, you've led the fight against them.  Please don't stop now.

 

A few weeks ago, ACT04.org alerted you to the dubious dealings of Ohio's Republican secretary of state, Ken Blackwell, who was trying to bar thousands of newly registered voters from the polls by citing an arcane ruling that requires voter registration cards be printed on 80 pound paper stock.

 

More than 250,000 of you showed your outrage by signing your name to our "Paper Stock" petition.  Your response, and the media storm it fueled, forced Blackwell to back down.  The result? - Next Tuesday, record numbers of new voters across Ohio will be voting for change and electing Democrats to federal, state and local government.

 

Read about the GOP tricks in Ohio and ACT's fight to stop them.

 

 

 

 

But It's Not Just Happening in Ohio...

 

Ohio is not alone.  Dirty tricks and deception are now happening in Florida, West Virginia, Nevada, Wisconsin and elsewhere.  Across the electoral battlegrounds, Republicans are scared and pulling out all the stops.

 

Read Salon's article on what GOP officials have in store for Florida.

 

Salon.com has been breaking these stories (and many others) as part of its Election 2004 "War Room."  They've broken stories on electronic voting problems, ballot access and many other important issues. 

 

Read this recent article on Sproul & Associates, a consulting firm hired by the RNC to register voters.  Former volunteers for Sproul now allege that it asked them to lie, cheat and even destroy the registration forms of Democrats whom they had registered to vote!

 

Now, you can help ACT Fight Back and Win Next Tuesday and get an annual Salon Premium membership, too.

 

For a limited time, when you select a $34.99 annual membership to Salon Premium, Salon will donate the proceeds right back to America Coming Together.  You'll enjoy a great subscription and support ACT's historic voter mobilization effort during these critical last days. 

 

With your support, ACT will lead the fight for Democratic candidates in federal, state and local elections, and you will have a year of great in-depth news and commentary from the leading online publication - Salon.com.
