(5:30 pm EST 4/21) We were just able to create quick time links - let me know if this works. Thanks again guys.
Hi everyone. Want to share with you a very short 2 minute documentary, "Don't Forget November 2nd." we launched yesterday on our CommonBlog. Click on one of the links under the image at right (depending on the speed of your broadband) and check it out.
Two of our supporters, who also happened to be award winning documentary film-makers from Los Angeles, were incredibly kind enough to donate their time and talent in coming up with this video clip, which we are going to use the spread the message for the need for election reform. We first met Erin and Conrad through an election reform house party in December. Erin's enthusiasm and energy was truly inspirational.
We hope that, when people see Erin's work, they will be moved to match her dedication. Interestingly enough, as she was making the movie and requesting permission to use footage from many sources, a lot of the people Erin talked to wanted to get involved in the cause, too. So, let's put all this energy to work in a meaningful way. Let's fight for change now.
We hope the powerful images depicting the problems with our elections will inspire you to join Erin and Conrad and thousands of other Common Cause members and supporters to work for election reform or renew your commitment to fix the problems with our election systems today. Join us in letting the Congress know that it's time to fix our broken system:
