Leaflet for Transparent Elections
Lynda Waddington of Marion, Iowa has created the leaflet we need for advocating transparent elections in Iowa. She says over 5,000 people have downloaded it from the web since she produced it last fall.
It advocates for paper ballot trails in electronic voting and it was designed just for Iowa. It tells the story of the Iowa legislation known as SF 351. It puts the burden for its passage squarely on the Republicans who control the state government committee of the Iowa House of Representatives. They have refused to act on the bill, despite its unanimous passage in the Iowa Senate. The leaflet names the members of the subcommittee with jurisdiction: Libby Jacobs, Carmine Boal, Mary Gaskill, Sandy Greiner, Todd Taylor, Linda Upmeyer, and Roger Wendt.
Take this to your next city council meeting, political caucus, county convention, candidate forum or county supervisors meeting. Send a copy to your legislators or your auditor or your newspaper editor. Put one on the library bulletin board or give one to the social studies teacher at school and another to the people who run your polling place. I plan to take it to a candidate forum in Spencer next week.
A link to it will appear in the column on the right. Thanks, Lynda!
