Support Debra Bowen on Election Inegrity

[I'm passing this along from DFA's National Community Organizer - Miles]

California is leading the nation again. Last Friday, Secretary of State Debra Bowen took a major step forward in restoring election integrity by decertifying electronic voting machines with the "potential for serious security breaches."¹ Our DFA-List endorsed candidate followed through on her campaign promise to require a top-to-bottom review of election procedures and take action on the results.

Now Sacramento lobbyists and media pundits are trying to stop reform and influence the county officials charged with implementing the changes. That's why your county official in charge of elections needs to hear from you today:

Janice Atkinson
County Clerk
Sonoma County
(707) 565-6800

We can make hundreds of calls today and have an effective impact, but only if we stay on message and stick to one issue. Please tell them:

"I support Secretary of State Debra Bowen's decision to restore election integrity and ban unsafe voting machines. I'm counting on you to support the ban and protect our votes."

After you make the call, please report how it went here:

Debra Bowen has come through for California. Now it is up to you to stand by her and make sure every vote counts. Thank you for calling today!

P.S. Here are a few tips for your call:
-It is okay to only speak with the receptionist
-Identify yourself as a constituent and a voter
-Be friendly and polite, but firm
-Thank them for their time
