Friends, here is another invaluable guide to the many horrid flaws in S 1487.
Please use it when composing your emails, and/or preparing your phone
calls, to your elected (?) representatives, as well as Hillary Clinton, Obama,
Dodd, Kennedy and Sanders.

From Teresa Hommel:

The US Senate Rules Committee will apparently conduct a hearing on July 25 on S1487.

Here is an analysis of problems with S1487. There are 25 areas of function, and many of them have severe problems.

I hope that all activists can agree that this bill is the wrong way to election reform.

I hope we can have a strong showing at the hearing next week, to demand a better bill and to make sure that our Senators understand why each of these flaws is wrong, and how to improve it.

S1487
What does it do? Why is it wrong? Suggested solutions!

Message from Mark: "I am a one-man operation, although assisted greatly by some volunteers, and, now and then, by people paid by others for one-time projects. There is no shortage of skilled, dedicated folks out there who want to help me. There is, however, nothing I can pay them with, unless you decide you can contribute something."
