Did you know that there is a critical shortage of election poll workers? The shortage is nationwide, but it's obviously of the most critical importance in the so-called battleground states. These are the areas where abuses are most likely to occur. As we saw in the 2000 election, these abuses can affect the entire outcome nationwide. You can help prevent this by volunteering to take part in election protection at http://www.electionprotectionvolunteer.org/friend We did! We requested absentee ballots for our home state, and chose a city in a state identified as "high risk" for voting rights violations. Between now and election day, we will join many other concerned Americans in a training program for election protection volunteers, where we'll be trained to offer immediate voter assistance on election day, report evidence of problems at the polls to a same-day assistance hotline, and provide voting rights information. The day before the election, we will travel to our selected city to begin monitoring, and stay until the polling place closes. This is the most important election of our lifetime. If you feel you are able to volunteer in this critical effort, please sign up at http://www.electionprotectionvolunteer.org/friend ******************************************* 2) Kennedys' October touring schedule: Friday, October 1 - Cafe Lena, 47 Phila Street, Saratoga Springs, NY.
