Hello again VoteRescuers! Karen and I are very excited about our upcoming
radio show this Sunday! As usual, the show will air from 2-4pm Central
time, can be picked up on the radio in the Austin area at 90.1 FM; is
streaming live on www.wtprn.com (for We the People Radio Network), AND,
can be heard OVER THE PHONE at 512/485-9010! Our special guest this
Sunday will be LYNN LANDES! For those of you who are not familiar with
Lynn's background, she is one of the nation's leading journalists on
voting technology and democracy issues, one of the earliest "pioneer"
activists on the election issue who came out in favor of hand-counted
paper ballot elections, and was Karen Renick's inspiration to get
involved with election integrity (and probably the inspiration for many
others as well!) Readers can find her articles on EcoTalk.org. Lynn is a
former news reporter, and a commentator for the British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC). In 2004, she filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court
in Philadelphia challenging the use of electronic voting machines and
absentee voting as unconstitutional. The U.S. District Court ruled
against her and she appealed up to the Supreme Court which ruled that
Landes "had no standing" to challenge the constitutionality of elections
laws. Lynn is an amazing activist and has been a huge inspiration to
countless people nationwide. She is one of the contributors to the book,
"HACKED! High Tech Election Theft in America" (www.hackedelections.com, as
was Kathleen Wynne, last week's fantastic guest!) This should be a
lively, informative interview! Other topics we'll cover: * More
information on HR 811, "The Holt Bill", and why it's so important that we
all keep up with it so it's not "slipped by us" and voted in,
federalizing secret vote counting as well as other ominous policies*
Detail about the Exit Poll that VoteRescue, and our Coalition, "Texans
for REAL Elections", conducted over Labor Day in Fort Worth at the Texas
Straw Poll, and re-announcing our upcoming Austin VoteRescue meeting to
plan Exit Polling for our Texas November 6th election (Meeting is
Tuesday, October 16th, 7-9:30 pm, at Brave New Books, 1904 Guadalupe.)*
Election news from around the country. Exciting updates! OUR SPECIAL
GUEST NEXT WEEK, October 21st: Our very own Abbe Waldman DeLozier! This
is a CALL-IN show and we will be taking calls from 2:30 til 3:00 pm and
from 3:30 til 3:50 pm with our guest. The call-in numbers are:
1-888-202-1984, and in the Austin area, or if you have unlimited long
distance, the number is 512-646-1984. Hope to "see" and hear you "On the
Air" on Sunday! With thanks for your support, Vickie and Karenkarp at mail.comkaren@voterescue.org
