If fraud tips the November elections, everything you have been working so hard for is splat.
Congress goes into recess on Friday and they won't be back until after the November elections. Only emergency legislation enacted THIS WEEK can prevent the kind of massive fraud that will prevent Democrats from taking power. If we don't get emergency legislation passed this week, don't be surprised to wake up on November 8 to find that your dreams of a better world are smashed.
I just talked to staffers in the DC offices of my three elected representatives: Senator Boxer, Senator Feinstein, and Representative Eshoo. There is no fire under their feet. They are doing nothing as far as I can tell. They are giving up for this round. Are you going to give up, too?
My diary from yesterday includes links to the Princeton video and the Rolling Stone article just in case you have not seen/read these yet:

There is a glimmer of hope in legislation written by netroots activists, titled:
Emergency Paper Ballot Mandate of 2006

Please take three days to save the November elections, then go back to work on the issues you care most about. Paper ballots is not a single issue -- it is EVERY issue.
Republicans are not too concerned about fair elections in November so it will be extremely difficult to pass this emergency legislation. We need to make this the only issue on DailyKos and the only issue on every other progressive blog and hopefully even some moderate blogs for the next three days.
Please take these actions:
1. Recommend this diary.
2. Write a diary that links to this diary.
3. Call the DC office of your representatives -- all three, and talk to a staffer about this.
4. Post about this on other blogs.
5. Email all of your friends.
The next three days are critical to making your dreams come true on November 7.
