Activism: Protect the Election?

Working Assets: Will You Take Action to Protect our Right to Vote?

We sincerely hope that the November 7th election comes off without any problems. But if it doesn’t, are you ready and willing to take action?

We may not have enough time to email you, but we can deliver a text message or place a call straight to your phone with a short and easy action that could help save the election. Signing up takes only a moment, and you’ll be a great service in helping protect the election.

We may need to urge the local election offices to keep the polls open to compensate for delayed poll openings, such as what happened in Maryland’s primary this year. We might push for more voting machines to be delivered to precincts with very long lines. We may need to show up in person and witness poll-closing procedures. We might also need to show up in person at our county election offices to protest voter fraud or voter intimidation at the polls. And we may need people to go with video cameras in hand, interview voters who’ve had problems, and then post that video to the web.

If you’re willing to spend a few minutes defending our democracy, then join our Voter Protection Immediate Response Network by filling out the information at left. We’ll text you on election day if there’s an urgent issue where your participation — such as a phone call or carefully-targeted local action — can make a big difference. Don’t worry, we won’t send you too many text messages. In fact, we hope we don’t have to send you text messages at all. But it pays to be prepared, so sign up to protect the election with our immediate response network now!

Don’t worry about the video camera thing. The form asks whether you have one available.
