YESTERDAY'S CITIZEN EXIT POLL WAS A HUGE SUCESS!
March 5, 2008

It was INCREDIBLE. The message that nearly all voters gave to our extraordinary exit poll volunteers yesterday was:

"Yes! I will participate in your exit poll and I will sign the affidavit.

I am concerned that my vote is counted in secret.

And, THANK YOU for all the work VoteRescue and Texans for REAL Elections is doing to get the message out that we must change the way our votes are being counted—or not being counted."

And then, when the people came out in droves after the polls closed to participate in their caucuses, our dream for a return of control of our elections to the people became a giant step closer. There is no doubt left after yesterday. People WILL step up to the plate and count their votes with their neighbors because they know it's the only way to be sure we are choosing the leaders to whom WE want to give our consent for them to protect our rights above all else.

A more detailed accounting of the day's successes will be posted soon, but we just wanted to give everyone a quick overview of how the day unfolded.

Our deep felt thanks to everyone who helped yesterday and during the weeks leading up to it. We look forward to seeing you all again helping with future Citizen Exit Polls and we hope that the many more of you who couldn't come out yesterday will be able to next time.

With great respect,
Karen and Vickie
