WHO: Common Cause, Electronic Frontier Foundation, VerifiedVoting.org, VoteTrustUSA, VotersUnite.org, Rock the Vote, Working Assets and election reform advocates from across the country.
WHAT: More than 200 citizen activists concerned with election reform have signed up for a two-day lobbying blitz on Capitol Hill in support of H.R. 550, the Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act, which would require voting systems used in federal elections to generate a voter verifiable paper trail that could be inspected by voters prior to their votes being cast. The activists are coming from at least 25 states and represent 80 congressional districts. They have at least 80 meetings scheduled on Capitol Hill.
La coalición llevará a cabo una sesión de capacitación para activistas antes de que se dispersen por el Capitolio para presionar a la Cámara de Representantes y al Senado a favor de la legislación patrocinada por el representante Rush Holt (demócrata por Nueva Jersey). El segundo día de la visita contará con una conferencia de prensa, blogs y entrevistas radiales por parte de activistas y reuniones adicionales con miembros del Congreso.
