VoteRescue Radio
Where Citizens Count...
One Vote at a Time
"VoteRescue Radio," our [Karen Renick and Vickie Karp's] new weekly two-hour radio show begins this Sunday, September 30, from 2-4 pm CST, streaming live on We the People Radio Network (100.1 FM in the Austin area).
Anton Smith, one of our wonderful VoteRescue parallel election volunteers, offered the name "VoteRescue Radio"—and Karen came up with the rest! Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
Our Austin-based election reform group, as most of you know, is dedicated to returning to totally hand-counted paper ballot elections. We plan to have a lot of fun getting out the massive amounts of news that happens every day on the election reform issue, but is never properly covered by mainstream media. We also look forward to having on as guests many of the national election reform activists—AND some of our very own VoteRescue STARS—to discuss the great work being done to advance the cause.
On our first show we plan covering:
- A broad overview of the electronic voting machine fraud problem for those new to the issue
- A little bit about our backgrounds & how we became activists on the issue, met and began working together
- News on the "We the People" 10-state lawsuit
- HR 811 update (disastrous national legislation posing as a solution)
- Highlighting recent critical news such as Bowen's e-voting vendor decertifications in California & updates
- Discussion of the role that ballots pre-stamped for chad problems had on the 2000 election - Dan Rather's discovery, and that of a regular citizen who made that research a personal mission for years
- How other citizens across the country have been making a difference and bringing the issue to "critical mass"
The show is a "call-in" and the number for that is: 1-888-202-1984, or in the Austin area, 512-646-1984. Hope to see/hear you "on the air"!
Vickie and Karen
