[Voterescue] Support Blackwell subpoena resolution in US House Subcommittee

[Karen Renick]

VoteRescuers,

I received the note below from one of our mailing list members and I 
apologize for sending out the original message with so little guidance.  
I had to get it out fast at the time.  I appreciate the feedback.  
Here's a little more help.

Once you have reached the Judiciary Committee's website through this 
link http://judiciary.house.gov/ <http://judiciary.house.gov/>, find 
"Contact" in the list on the left side of the page.  When you scroll 
over it, two items will pop up.  Click on "E-mail/Contact Info".  A form 
will come up.  Fill out all of the boxes with an asterisk.  In the "Your 
Comments" box, You can just simply say something such as this:

*/Dear Members of the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, 
and Civil Liberties,

I urge you to pass the resolution authorizing the Chairman of the 
Judiciary Committee// to issue a subpoena to J. Kenneth Blackwell for 
his  testimony and related documents at a hearing before your 
subcommittee regarding voter suppression.  The entire country deserves 
answers to all the questions regarding the 2004 Election in Ohio - the 
state whose outcome decided the winner of the presidential race.  We 
need these answers _now_ so that similar misdeeds can be stopped before 
the 2008 Election is underway.

Sincerely,/*

I hope this helps.

/I am going to attempt to comply with your request but many of us find 
such a web page confusing and a little tricky.  Please remember many of 
us you contact are not "hot dogs" on the use of the computer.  Please 
give some consideration to giving us dummies the option of adding our 
names and email addresses to a prepared text that states exactly what it 
is we want to say in support of your request and an exact address to 
send it to.  For those more proficient, they can do their own thing with 
their own tailored request but I feel it would let a whole lot more 
people quickly respond who feel intimidated by writing their own 
message.  I know it is not as good with a pre-composed message but they 
get results by shear numbers anyway - ask the NRA and GOA!  Thank you 
for sending this to me.
