We need your help to protect Maryland's path to trustworthy elections. Two
years ago, the Legislature passed a law to phase out unreliable touch
screen voting systems by 2010.
That victory is now in jeopardy. With the current budget climate, there is
talk of delaying implementation of the law. But paper ballot/optical scan
systems are cheaper to maintain and operate than touch screen voting
machines. This fact is not as widely known in Annapolis as it needs to be.
You can help to educate lawmakers. Send a letter to your legislators urging
them to continue Maryland's path toward more cost-effective and verifiable
voting systems. Go to this Web page to send a letter:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/199/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26736
[Please use your own words--legislators receiving exactly the same message
tend to discount the effort. Show some originality, mention your delegate(s)
and state senator by name if you can.]
The state's current touch screen voting systems cannot prove their
accuracy, and do not allow meaningful recount. Please take action today to
make sure that the 2010 elections in Maryland are verifiable.
Thank you for all you do.
Best regards,
The Team at Verified Voting

Dear DC Metro Election Reform meetup members:
Here are the long-awaited minutes below.
Please forward comments. Mike has suggested Eleanor Norton Holmes as a
potential speaker for the Meetup, and I plan to take up contact with her
and someone from Verified Voting and Vote Trust, as those were names
brought up by Carol last meeting.

Minutes/Notes from the December 4th Building the Election Reform Meetup
Attendees: chair Jennifer Karius, Mike Hersh, Dan Barnett, George Ripley,
Guest speaker: Carol Waser
A round of introductions is made by participants to explain reasons for
interest in the meetup and potential skills they may bring to the meetup.
Some of the priorities for election reform from the Dec. 4th group:
• The importance of raising public attention to electoral reform, as one
key system relevant to a successful democracy
• Election security concerns including:
• The need to ban DRE voting machinery (with MD as an example)
• The need for election oversight/ audits standards/ systems and laws
for (also being developed by Shelly Fudge of SaveOurVotesMaryland)
• The need for DC representation: symbolic for problems nationwide (see
speaker synopsis below)
• The role of the Democratic Party in advocating election reform;
creating a platform for the issue
• Seeking broader bipartisan grounds for election reform
• Creating a broader collaboration between election reform groups toward
affecting legislation and the mainstreaming of public attention toward
the cause
Some of the skill sets possessed by the Dec. 4th group:
• Concrete successes in community organizing
• Lobbying background (local, state, federal)
• Writing, also, esp. on election reform issues
• Contacts with election reform advocates/ groups/ legislative staff
Carol Waser is a DC election integrity activist, who is very up-to-date
on the recent difficulties in the DC primaries regarding voting
machinery. Carol attended DC Board of Election meetings, and after
following the issue, is an advocate for ending the use of DRE machines.
Instead, she advocates manual procedures in conjunction with opti-scan
machinery. A special investigation committee discovered a glitch in the
central tabulator is believed to be the problem with the vote count
during the DC primaries.
The general discussion around Carol's presentation of the DC election
situation is that election officials are too little informed on the
issue, or the need for greater attention on election reform. There is
not enough unified effort toward addressing the shortcomings of
machinery. Also, election administration processes, featuring the
election officials charged with the responsibility of maintaining,
improving, and troubleshooting election administration, appear to be a
large part of the problem. Lacking continuity on the part of DC
officials in following up with problems during the primaries appears to
have obstructed the resolution of the problems.
Meetup action points:
• Meetup members will attend the Public Meeting at the U.S. Election
Assistance Commission on December 8th
• Minutes will be distributed for the next meeting in order to aid
priority setting for the Meetup

Maryland Campaign to Keep the Guard at Home

Bill to Keep the Maryland Guard at Home Introduced in State Assembly
Grassroots Coalition Urges Quick Approval
Olney--A coalition of 24 organizations across the state of Maryland is urging the Maryland General Assembly to pass legislation requiring that the Maryland National Guard be used for legal purposes, and no other. The legislation, introduced by Senator Richard Madaleno (D-18) in the Senate and Delegate Jill Carter (D-41) in the House of Delegates, states that the governor shall refuse to release the Maryland National Guard into federal control without either a legal justification or a declaration of war. If the Guard is called into federal service for a legal reason, and that reason expires, then the governor shall request return of the Guard to his control. Cosponsors in the Senate include Jamie Raskin (D-20), Paul Pinsky (D-22), David Harrington (D-47), Catherine Pugh (D-40), and Michael Lenett (D-19).
The legal basis for calling the National Guard to serve in Iraq is the 2002 Congressional Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), which was limited to the purposes of defending the national security from Iraqi threats and enforcing UN Security Council Resolutions left over from the 1991 Gulf War. The purposes set forth in the AUMF have been achieved: Clearly, Iraq does not pose a threat to our national security, and no UN Resolutions remain to be enforced. Neither the AUMF nor any other law authorizes an indefinite assignment of State Guard members to the National Guard of the United States. Thus, there is no legal basis for sending any National Guard members to Iraq.
From Casa of Maryland and Delegate Ana Sol Gutierrez : please help us stop anti-immigrant actions by Montgomery County local government. Please call or email County Executive Ike Leggett:
ALERT!
Montgomery County could take a major step down a slippery slope to creating a discriminatory and hostile environment for all immigrants. County Executive Isiah Leggett has indicated that as soon as next week he may announce changes to Montgomery County’s long standing policy against local police enforcing federal immigration laws. For years, the County’s policies have considered this the job of the U.S.federal government. Though no written proposals have been presented for review and consideration by the County Council, the MD Judiciary, legal and immigration law experts, public safety officials, community advocates, and the general public, Mr. Leggett is considering granting new unrestricted powers to Mo. Co. police to notify U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when individuals who are foreign born are arrested (not yet convicted) as suspects of committing both misdemeanors and felonies.
Please CALL or EMAIL Mr. Leggett to let him know you oppose this highly flawed change in policy that targets all foreign-born residents in our County. Montgomery County is not Prince William County and we do not want the County police to take any steps towards enforcing federal immigration laws, while further alienating the immigrant communities and destroying the public’s trust in law enforcement.
You can call Mr. Leggett at: (240) 777-2500.
Or e-mail his office at: voicemail@montgomerycountymd.gov or ike.leggett@montgomerycounty md.gov
Please cc or bcc Justiceinmontgomerycounty@gmail. com
Suggested Talking Points:
--I oppose changing current County law enforcement policies to authorize police detentions based on an individual’s place of birth
--I oppose Mo. CO. police collaboration with ICE in enforcing federal immigration laws.
--I support Montgomery County’s long standing tradition which values the contributions of our productive, diverse, and hard working immigrant communities.
--I support policies that strengthen the public’s trust and protect individual civil liberties and human rights. I do not want Montgomery County to become the next Prince William County.
Below is a brief draft LETTER you can cut and paste or modify to communicate your personal opposition to this proposal.
Dear County Executive Leggett:
I am a concerned Montgomery County resident and voter. Although there is no question that I believe that hardened criminals, especially those who engage in violent behavior, should be tried and incarcerated when found guilty, I believe that using place of birth and/or immigration status as a means to combat violent crime in Montgomery County is wrong for a number of reasons:
- Experiences in this County (or in the country) DO NOT support the existence of a connection between violent crimes and immigration status. On the contrary, a number of reputable studies show that immigrants, both documented and undocumented, commit fewer crimes than U.S-born residents.
- Recently in Montgomery County, the alleged need for targeting undocumented immigrants has been goaded by extremist, anti-immigrant groups, such as Help Save Maryland. Other jurisdictions such as Frederick County and Prince William County, Va, have adopted anti-immigrant measures that have achieved little more than vilifying members of those communities. Recently committed murders in Montgomery County are being used by such such groups to demand similar measures in Montgomery County and to seek to validate their unfounded claim that “immigrants are violent criminals”.
- Changing Montgomery County law enforcement policies regarding detention of foreign-born suspects and notification of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials will affect public safety and undermine the immigrant community's trust of the police. Many crimes, including recent murders, were solved through cooperation from the immigrant community, including undocumented immigrants.
- Law enforcement officials, the State’s attorney, and the MD Judicial system have many effective legal tools at their disposal for dealing with violent criminals to ensure they are detained and not freed to commit other crimes.
In short, I oppose any change to Montgomery County’s long standing policies regarding its treatment of foreign born residents. Montgomery County should not become the new Prince William County in Virginia. This change in police enforcement policies is a step in the wrong direction, and I strongly oppose it.
Sincerely,
(Please put your name and city or area where you live in the County.)

DanceObama: The Pulse for Peace
Over the next few days, change is a gonna come. The change is overt: a new President, a new administration, and it is as-yet-undefined. Some startling clues exist, however: pictures of dead children in Gaza horrify us, creating the clear loud message that brutality and carnage, no matter under what guise, are not to be tolerated. A pilot saves 155 people with calm and skill that reassures us that not all disasters end in total loss and that paying attention and thinking clearly actually works sometimes. A gay bishop and a rightwing preacher both celebrate a new government that is not catering to any one constituency but appears to want to cut a swath across all, and maybe even elevate the country to a higher moral ground, without privileging one belief system or lifestyle over another.
The train rolled into town yesterday, bringing a newly-forceful but always thoughtful guy to lead the changes. He did not bring the change with him on the trip, nor will he deliver it to us with his inaugural address. But over the next few days, through music , art, dancing, sharing food and warmth, change will come to us.
We will create it.
DanceObama: The Pulse for Peace is one of many events planned for Washington DC. It has also inspired people in Boston, Chicago and California to join in, at their own times, in their own celebrations of manifesting hope and change through music and dance. The event in DC is open to all, for a donation of $15.00, and it will happen at the Peace Mural Gallery at 3336 M. St in Georgetown from 4-6 pm Monday, in the midst of stunning paintings by the artist Huong. Hot drinks and small food will be served, and we will have drummers, dancers, and music to move to.
Over 100 years ago, a man named Rudolf Laban began to devise ways of bringing people together through specifically created participatory dance events called movement choirs, in which each person contributed to a communal celebration of harmony. By finding the universal pulse for change, individual voices and collective joy can be heard across the world, calling each of us to thoughtful, aware, and considered action.
Some of the music that we will be using for this event:
Sweet Honey in the Rock: "We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For"
Kanye West: "Love Train"
Sly and the Family Stone: "Everyday People"
Cat Stevens: "Peace Train"
John Lennon: "Imagine"
Johnny Clegg: "Life is a Magic Thing"
Seal: "A Change is Gonna Come" (or any version)
The Pointer Sisters: "Yes We Can, Can"
U2: "Beautiful Day"
If you can, come down to Georgetown on Monday afternoon and be a part of starting the pulse with us. If you can't, put on the music, be inspired, and begin to move with us. Together we cross the threshold into a new way of being in the world: as agents of our own lives and stewards for peace and hope everywhere.
