The GPUS is getting more involved in = some form of=20 IRV voting. We are introducing a form of choice voting (instead of = straight IRV)=20 which we hope will be accepted and become a Green standard; it isn't TOO = complex=20 but gives minority opinions/choices a much better representation.

People's Fair, June 5th and 6th, Civic Center Park, Downtown Denver Here are the volunteer commitments so far for the Green Party booth. We need a lot more help as you can see. We need to have this schedule filled by noon this Friday, Tomorrow! Two or more people at the booth at all times is our goal. The booth is on the North side of 14th Ave. between Lincoln and Broadway, backing to the park. We should have good entry/exit traffic on both sides of our booth. Friday June 4, Evening set-up: 7 - 7:30pm Tanya Ishikawa Dave Chandler Allen Butcher Saturday, June 5, 2004: Fair hours 10 - 8pm 1:00pm to 3:00pm Ken and Mag Seaman Sunday, June 6, 2004: Fair hours 10 - 7pm 10am to Noon Judy and Larry Trompeter Noon to 2pm Sunny Maynard 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm Tanya Ishikawa Please e-mail Dave Chandler the times you can staff the booth: DenverGreenDave@msn.com Dave will be available on Saturday, if some more of the schedule gets filled, I'll make up the gap. Dave Chandler 303-424-9897 ===================================================== *IMPORTANT* People's Fair The Denver Greens in conjunction with the Jefferson Greens have reserved a booth at the annual People's Fair this coming Saturday and Sunday, June 5 and 6. Last year's booth presence was a great success and enjoyable for those Greens staffing the event. Volunteers are needed NOW to sign up for times this weekend. Friday: Set-Up We plan to gather at the Christian Science Church parking lot at 7: 00 pm, Friday evening, June 4, to prepare and set-up our booth. The booth space is not far from there on 14th Avenue between the park and the law library. Saturday: 10 am to 8 pm Two or four hour blocks of time ... Or whatever you can offer. It is by far preferable that at least two people be at the booth at any given time (think spouses or boyfriends or girlfriends or un-Green friends as booth companions). Sunday: 10 am to 7 pm Same as above. A couple of extra folks needed for taking down the canopy, tables, chairs at the end of the day. This is a wonderful opportunity for Greens to publicize our ideals and principles. It is a good place for our candidates to have a public presence. It is a non-monetary way for Greens to contribute. It provides a great chance to talk to OTHER people about the issues. If you haven't attended a meeting lately or made a financial donation recently ... Here is your chance to do something important to help build the Green Party.

The event will support Tanya Ishikawa in her bid for election as Jefferson County Commissioner. The $5 event fee will pay for the fantastic double billing. �Music brings people together � the same way I want my campaign to bring us together,� Commissioner candidate Tanya Ishikawa said. �Just likewe join in the enjoyment of inspiring words and tunes, I hope we can join in creating solutions to the issues in our government. We all want to live happy and healthy lives � free of excessive complication and trouble. Since government gathers tax money to build infrastructure and maintain important services, it has a pivotal role in making sure we can achieve that simple, trouble-free lifestyle. That would be my goal as county commissioner.� PHOTO OPPS: Photos of the performers are available for news coverage before the event by e-mailing: info@danyariver.com or info@dnote.us. Photo journalists are invited to the event where they can take colorful, lively photos for their media outlets of the following: * Beautiful Danya River playing her soulful style on the great D-Note stage (7:30-9:30 p.m.) * The seven members of The Magnificent 7 jamming away (9:30- 11:30 p.m.) * Tanya Ishikawa giving short presentations about her campaign (8:30 and 9:30) *A young crowd of politically-minded people supporting an early election event STORY OPPS: Tanya Ishikawa can be reached for a phone interview at 303-819-7784 between June 25 and July 8. Some newsworthy points about the event include: * The D-Note, a family-owned Arvada business, is getting politically active. In addition to opening their space for candidate events, the year-old music venue is participating in voter registration drives. * Tanya Ishikawa is a 37-year-old Green Party candidate for the Jeffco Commissioner office, a position usually held by Republicans. Young and hopeful, she believes the county is ready for more progressive leadership who realizes conservative decision-making and fiscal management should blend with innovative planning. * Danya supports Tanya. The talented Danya River is an up- and-coming vocal talent from Boulder where Tanya went to the University of Colorado. Does having similar names and sharing a love for live, original music lead them to the same political beliefs? * Many more interesting points about Tanya�s background and her upcoming campaign events available upon request.

Unable to rouse even one Senator to join their challenge to Florida's illegitimate electors, one by one the fourteen CBC House members rose to lodge their protest as proscribed by the Constitution. Had just one U.S. Sena- tor joined the CBC protest, Congress would have been compelled to debate the stolen election of 2000. Where was Al Gore? Presiding over the surrender of democracy to the extr- emist cabal of BushCo. Where was John Kerry? Hiding. Why? Because American democracy was on the verge of being exposed as an operation rivalling a cheap bordello in sleaziness? Why did most of us have to hear about this abrogation of responsibility from Michael Moore? Where was our `free press'? We're going to have to take our country back ourselves. The corporate whores in Congress are not going to help. And we're going to have to go out into the streets to do it, because they're handing over the process by which our ballots are cast and counted to unaccountable electronic voting machine manufacturers. Please come to the Colorado "The Computer Ate My Vote" Day of Action Rally to be held Tuesday, July 13th at noon, at the Capitol Building in Denver (Colfax at Lincoln).

Ten states were represented and discussion revealed that rural areas not surprisingly share the same issues. We determined that it is essential to the party that a Rural Caucus form to address these issues and represent these easy to neglect but hard to ignore areas. Formation of a national caucus requires the participation of at least 15 states and 100 members. One of the benefits is a seat on the national delegation. Interested parties - and you don't need to live in a rural area - please contact ruralgreen@yahoogroups.com. Illinois is not yet represented, so please take this opportunity to grow the party from the very grassroots that makes this country tick.

I hope people will step up and help make these successes for the Green Party and progressives. 1) Second Annual Climb America's Mountain for Peace. This hike up Pike's Peak on September 11 is a fundraiser for the Green Party of Colorado and the Pikes Peak Justice and Peace Center. Last year, 10 of us from Colorado Springs, Denver, and Boulder participated. It was inspirational and was a great time to boot. PPJPC sponsored a spaghetti dinner the night before and participants were housed by Colorado Springs activists. 2) Adopt-a-Silo Action, October 2. Here is part of an email describing it: "Time to start planning for the Second Annual Adopt-A-Silo! Mark your calendars for October 2nd, 2004. We are starting early this year so that we can get as many Coloradoans (and others) involved as possible. It is Time to reinvigorate the national discussion of nuclear weapons, their destructiveness, their cost, and their effect on US foreign policy. I have sent this email out to all those who participated in last year's Adopt-A-Silo [BK Note - We had Silo O-3]. If you or you organization are willing to Adopt-A-Silo ... We are asking that each group bring as many people with them as possible - 40 to 50 people at each silo would be great. We have a Big Goal this year for the number of adopters and other participants. ...we will send you an organizing packet, so that you can get people in your area or organization interested and excited to participate." This event is co-sponsored by the Greeley Green Party. For either of these, please email me at bklafehn@mindspring.com, and I will give you further contact information.

Kris Abrams took leave from her position as senior producer of Democracy Now! in NYC to move to Boulder and spearhead a drive to acquire a Denver community radio signal. And she did it! She herded all the cats who were constantly losing their keys and mittens, and pulled it off! SUNDAY. 1390AM. Community Radio -- Progressive media a-borning in the teeth of corporate media consolidation and squelching of dissent. Ecoutez. http://www.kgnu.org Bruce ============= ----------- Original Message ----------- From: "Kris Abrams" Sent To: Subject: [Denvercommunityradio] KGNU debuts in Denver THIS SUNDAY! come celebrate with us! Date Sent: 25 Aug 2004 09:57 AM All, After over a year of discussion, research, negotiations and fundraising, the moment is here. KGNU will debut on 1390 AM in Denver this Sunday at 9 a.m., bringing live coverage from the streets of New York City, where hundreds of thousands are expected to protest against the Republican National Convention. Please help spread the word (details below)! Come celebrate with us! Event: Hear the sounds of NYC�s streets at a party at the Merc! Venue: Mercury Cafe, 2199 California Street, Denver Date: Sunday, Aug. 29 Time: Drop in anytime between 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. We reached a deal with KJME just 6 weeks ago, and signed the final documents last week. Purchase price: $4.1 million. Down payment: $1 million, coming due at closing. Closing is triggered by the FCC approval, which we expect as early as October. Operating Agreement: today, KGNU pays an additional $100,000 for the Operating Agreement, a separate contract which allows us to begin broadcasting in Denver starting Sunday - weeks and possibly months before closing. KGNU spearheaded the Operating Agreement because we felt it is important to begin broadcasting to an additional two million people in time to cover this critical election. Starting Sunday, KGNU will reach half the population of Colorado. Fundraising: We have raised over $1,220,000! But there is still work to do, and quickly. In order to maximize matching gifts of up to $200,000, we must raise an additional $40,000 by tomorrow. In addition, some of our donors have pledged money over time, so of the $1.22 million, we will have only $925,000 in hand in time for closing. Subtracting $100,000 for the Operating Agreement from that, this means we must raise an additional $175,000 by October. Here's how you can help: Please help spread the word! Tell all your friends, colleagues, family, neighbors, and organizations in Denver (and list-serves) to tune into KGNU-1390 AM. To make it easier, we have written a sample email - go to http://kgnudenver.org and click on Spread the Word, or copy and paste the text at the bottom of this email into a new email. (Of course, feel free to edit what we've written, or write your own!) This grassroots publicity campaign will be instrumental in KGNU-Denver's success. Donate! Please go to http://kgnudenver.org. We've raised over $1.2 million so far, but still need to raise another $40,000 by tomorrow and another $175,000 by October. Today, we launch the 1,390 x $1,390 campaign. If 1,390 people become Founding Supporters of KGNU-Denver 1390 AM and donate $1,390, we will raise nearly $2 million. The entire board and staff of KGNU have made "stretch" gifts - meaning we have given much more than we ever would normally, but not so much that it changes our quality of life - and now we are asking everyone else to do the same. Your gift can be spread out over 1,2 or 3 years if necessary. Go to kgnudenver.org to make your donation all at once, or call (303) 449-4885 to arrange a monthly or yearly pledge. Please donate whatever you can - whether it is more or less than $1,390. If you are able to give at the 5-figure level, please contact me directly at the station or at kris@kgnu.org. Now, we will be able to incorporate volunteers into this campaign! If you are interested in volunteering or have ideas about how to get the word out, please email our Outreach Coordinator at vaishalee@kgnu.org. We hope to hold trainings in Denver soon for those interested in learning how to report and file stories. More info on that to come. This email list will be used - sparingly! - to update you on the Denver Community Radio Campaign. To unsubscribe, send an email to denvercommunityradio-unsubscribe@kgnu.org Your support is what made this possible. Thank you! We hope you enjoy KGNU 1390 AM! Kris ----- KGNU Denver Campaign Coordinator kris@kgnu.org Help spread the word! subject line: this Sunday! independent radio in Denver! body of email: Friends, This Sunday, August 29th at 9 a.m., tune into 1390 AM and hear the birth of grassroots, independent radio in Denver! KGNU, Boulder County�s independent community radio station, broadcasts independent, hard-hitting news and public affairs as well as an eclectic mix of music including world, hip-hop, folk, reggae, and bluegrass. KGNU gives listeners the opportunity to take the media into their own hands, providing training, equipment and access to the airwaves. Now, in response to an increasing number of requests from Denver residents, KGNU is expanding to Denver. If you�re frustrated by infotainment masquerading as news, or if you�re tired of pre-programmed, profit-generating play-lists piped in from corporate HQ, tune in on Sunday and be part of this unprecedented campaign to reclaim the airwaves and return them to the public. You can sign up for updates on the Denver Community Radio Campaign by sending an email to denvercommunityradio-subscribe@kgnu.org (or by signing up at http://kgnudenver.org) KGNU-Denver 1390 AM. Unembedded news. Eclectic music. Community access. Accountable to you.

Come delve into this touchstone issue with the Bill of Rights Defense Com- mittee of Denver, as we look at "CORPORATE POWER UNLEASHED" this coming Tuesday evening. WHAT: Video -- "OUTFOXED: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism". Speaker -- ANN KROHN RICK, citizen organizer and activist with http://www.ReclaimDemocracy.org Questions and discussion period afterwards, time permitting. WHEN: This coming Tuesday evening, 12 October `04, at 6:30 pm. WHERE: The Montview Presbyterian Church, (McCollum Room, downstairs), located at the southeast corner of Montview Blvd. and Dahlia St. in the Park Hill neighborhood of Denver (just east of City Park). WHY: Because we CAN take our democracy and our planet back from the robber-barons, put a halt to racism and militarism, and stop the devastation of our planet, if we understand the core issues and unite to withdraw our coopera- tion from corporate/military imperialism. Come get informed, clearheaded, and active with us this Tuesday evening. ### From announce-gpco-owner@greens.org Wed Oct 20 05:55:35 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mailman-announce-gpco@pk.greens.org Received: (qmail 6129 invoked by alias); 20 Oct 2004 05:55:35 -0000 Delivered-To: announce-gpco@greens.org Received: (qmail 6126 invoked by uid 0); 20 Oct 2004 05:55:35 -0000 Received: from rwcrmhc11.comcast.net (204.127.198.35) by cesarchavez.cagreens.org with SMTP; 20 Oct 2004 05:55:35 -0000 Received: from lanny (unknown[67.176.84.176](misconfigured sender)) by comcast.net (rwcrmhc11) with SMTP id <200410200555070130000ci8e>; Wed, 20 Oct 2004 05:55:07 +0000 From: "Lanny Kness" To: "Denver Announce List" , "GPCO Announce List" Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 23:55:28 -0600 Message-ID: <005f01c4b669$66d9fd40$6a01a8c0@attbi.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.6626 Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1441 Subject: [announce-gpco] YES on Amendment 36 Sender: announce-gpco-admin@greens.org Errors-To: announce-gpco-admin@greens.org X-BeenThere: announce-gpco@greens.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Announce List, Green Party of Colorado List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Dear Friends, The Green Party of Colorado endorses Amendment 36, an initiative that = will change Colorado=92s 9 electoral votes from winner-take-all to = proportional representation based on the popular vote.

The = Green Party of Colorado believes in electoral laws that support one person, = one vote and not our current winner-take-all system for selecting the Presidential candidate. The US Constitution lays out the Electoral College, but deeds to each = State legislature the right to determine for itself how their electors are selected.

Therefore, this ballot initiative is legal. We believe = Colorado should follow the lead of Maine and Nebraska, which divides electoral = votes and rejects the winner-take-all system. This is more consistent with = Green values,=94 explained Lanny Kness, Colorado Green Party Co-Chair. The Green Party works for several important electoral reforms, including Instant Runoff Voting. =93We want policies and laws in place that = motivate citizens to vote, because they realize that every vote actually does = count. Amendment 36 also improves the chance of minor political parties to gain recognition by earning electors,=94 said Bruce Meyer, Denver Green = running for CO State House District 4.

Below is my report to Colorad- oans for Voting Integrity (CFVI) on observing the Denver County Election Commission's central tabulation process on Election Day night. I also participated in a `precinct survey' in the two days following Election Day, driving around Lakewood precincts collecting data from the voting machine `results tapes' that are required to be posted at each polling place for forty-eight hours after the polls close. Data from Denver, Jefferson, Adams and Arapahoe Counties are now being analyzed by CFVI for evidence of machine malfunction, tampering, fraud, etc. (see http://www.cfvi.org or call 303-444-6981 x5 Carolyn with electronic voting and counting machine stories, or to volunteer.) BlackBoxVoting.org, a national group based in Seattle WA, is also working on the very suspect results of Election Day 2004. Using core documents obtained through public information requests, insider information, and other sources, BBV is engaged in a major electronic voting machine sleuthing operation. (see http://www.blackboxvoting.org for regular updates and volunteer opportunities.) FairVoteColorado.org had hundreds of poll-monitor volunteers at precincts on Election Day helping voters with voting rights issues, misinformation, voter intimidation, the Secretary of State's last minute rules changes, etc. They have offices at the Bighorn Public Policy Center, 1700 Lincoln St., Denver CO 80203 (see http://www.fairvotecolorado.org ) Let's get corporations out of our elections. BMcN --- Denver County Colorado-- central tabulation process -- 2 Nov 04 I spent most of Election Day 2004 in the polling place at Denver precinct #534, St John's Cathedral, 1350 Washington St. The three Sequoia AVC Advantage DRE voting machines were already set up and tested when I entered the room at 6:45 a.m. to be sworn in as a poll-watcher. The four election judges present were friendly and competent. There were long lines of voters all day. There was about an hour wait to vote. There were no machine problems while I was in the room. I left the room at 4 p.m. to serve as a poll-monitor for FairVote.org, at the entrance of precinct #534, and across the street at precinct #532, Morey Middle School. The Denver Election Commission Judge's Handbook tells workers to call 303-698-4912 if there are troubles with voting machines. At 7 p.m. I arrived at the Denver Election Commission offices at 14th & Bannock. The lobby was packed with people still waiting to vote, media, volunteers and election workers. I was issued a badge and told to wait for the tabulation room to open. At about eight o'clock I was ushered into the tabulation room and told to stand only in the "bullpen" -- a cordoned area about four feet by ten feet at the back (west) of the room. Seated at the keyboard directly in front of me, his monitor screen facing me and about nine feet from me, was Rocky, the DEC's main techie. Rocky's machine collected the information from the four other computers in the tabulating room. Seated at a terminal to Rocky's left was Lisa, DEC's support rep from Sequoia Pacific, Inc., the voting machine outfit. Her screen also faced me, and collected data from another part of the building where absentee and early- voting ballots were being processed, to be fed to Rocky's machine. Further to the front of the room (east) were two computers with peripheral ports into which data from the "results cartridges" being delivered from the individual voting booths in precincts all over the county were being downloaded by two women. As soon as a cartridge was plugged into the port of one of the machines its screen would show the cartridge number in the left hand column and a vote total in the right hand column. A porter was kept busy supplying trays of cart- ridges (and the accompanying paper "results report" from each machine to the tally machine workers. To the left of Lisa in the forground, with its screen at ninety degrees to Lisa and Rocky's machines, was another computer sitting against the north wall. I surmised its function to be for troublshooting, as it was used intermittently by Rocky, Lisa and some techie manager type who popped in and out of the room giving orders and decisions. All in all the process appeared to go smoothly enough, with the tally workers pop- ping cartridges in and out of the far two machines as fast as they could physically handle the VHS-tape-sized storage devices. There were regular "Summary Re- ports" printed from the compiled data on Rocky's machine, and distributed to everyone with a green "official Pass" badge: media, observers, etc. The process bogged down three times due, apparently to the tally machines being unable to read a cartridge -- at which point, Rocky, Lisa and the manager type would huddle around the what-I-call `troubleshooting' computer. At one point, Rocky went over to a tally machine at the far wall, came back with four cartridges and their paper `results reports' and entered the tally information manually into his computer. Because I couldn't read even the screens closest to me (Rocky's and Lisa's), I broke out a pair of binoculars from my bag (thank you, Bev Harris), and was imm- ediately landed on by two election officials who told me no binoculars or recording devices were allowed in the tabulation room. I was in there, I was told, to observe the process, not to read the numbers, [and error codes, etc.] All the information was posted to the Denver Elections Commission website, they said, and would be available in the morning in paper hardcopy at the main desk, a CD in a few days. http:www.denvergov.org/electioncommission Sunny Maynard joined me in the tabulating room at about nine p.m. We watched the process for a while, looked at the "Summary Reports" handed out by DEC media-relations guy Allen evry fifteen minutes or so, and got chewed-out by Allen and elections official Karen Hatchett for asking questions of Rocky and Lisa. All in all, I'd have to characterize the central tabulation-observing process as fairly adversarial and minimally informative. Sunny and I left the DEC building at about ten-thirty p.m., in the dark.

Democracy needs your help. When the United States was founded, Democracy was limited to property owning, white men. But through two centuries of organizing and struggle, Democracy was expanded to include those originally left out -- including women, Indian peoples, African-Americans, and non-property owners. It's time to continue expanding Democracy. Reform of the electoral process is part of the platform of the Green Party of the United States. Over the past few months, the Election Reform Committee of the Green Party of Colorado has been discussing the possibility of implementing Instant Runoff Voting in Colorado. IRV is a ranked system of voting. It allows voters to rank the candidates on a ballot in order of preference. As the candidates are eliminated, the voters next choice is counted. This continues until one candidate receives over 50% of the votes cast. For details, go to the website of the Center for Voting and Democracy, www.fairvote.org. This is advantageous in several ways: 1) It greatly diminishes the possibility of a "third party spoiler". 2) It expands Democracy by increasing the opportunity for "third" parties to get into office. 3) It adds integrity to the voting system by encouraging voters to vote for a candidate as opposed to against one. We have recently received encouraging news that one State Senator is willing to introduce legislation regarding IRV. There is a possibility that at least one other Senator and one House Member would be willing to promote legislation as well. Furthermore, Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. has introduced IRV legislation in the United State Congress. However, in order to get legislation on the floors of the Colorado House of Representatives an the Colorado Senate, we need to build a broad-based coalition of groups and individuals to promote the implementation of IRV. Therefore, we are calling on all registered Greens in the State of Colorado to assist with this effort. In the next week, I will be attempting to contact all GPCO locals via telephone about this effort. However, you don't have to wait to hear from your local chapter to start work on this important issue. The following are things that Green Party members and locals will need to do in order to begin mobilizing people of all political stripes across Colorado: FIRST: Go to www.fairvote.org to learn about the basics of IRV -- be sure to check out some of the links. Print some literature that you can use and reference. SECOND: Contact YOUR State Representative and State Senator. Tell them that there is interest in changing the way Colorado votes. Discuss IRV and refer them to www.fairvote.org. THIRD: START MOBILIZING! Contact your Green Party local and tell them that you want to get started on Instant Runoff Voting. If you are an elected official, begin mobilizing your constituents who favor IRV. If you are not an elected official, but are a member of social justice groups, faith-based organizations, nongovernmental organizations, or any other group of like minded individuals that may support IRV, then begin discussing election reform and the introduction of IRV legislation. Ask these groups what they can do to support IRV in Colorado. (Suggestion: have the groups have a meeting about IRV; have membership of groups contact their State legislators individually). Reach out to other "third" parties and let them know that we are mobilizing. At the same time, find out about the interest in implementing IRV in your city or county. Can the introduction of IRV in your community save resources and money? This is an important part, as successful implementation of IRV in our communities may contribute to state wide implementation. FOURTH: Contact me at stacey.rick@juno.com and let me know who is supporting you. Is it your State Rep. or Senator? Is a major activist, faith based or other group ready to be active around this issue? Within the next two weeks, we will have draft skeletal legislation that can be used as a point of reference when talking with individuals, other groups and political parties, as well as your State Representative and State Senator. This will be posted on a website that will contain other useful information. I hope that you can help us in the effort to continue expanding Democracy.

It hasn't had a chance to meet. The rally was called by a meeting of concerned citizens against election fraud -- one of a series of four meetings which had over a hundred people Monday night, and many others Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday. Our meetings included members from the several groups men- tioned in the previous email , but none of these groups has had a chance to discuss the rally. We need to act now, quickly, while we can still make a diff- erence in how people regard the November 2nd election. We intend to make the demonstration Saturday a big one. Please join us Monday night to plan the demonstration at the Mercury Cafe (22nd & California) at 7 pm. And bring everyone you know to the rally on Saturday.

Do come if you can. It's happening civic arousal, pilgrims. Below are a few bits of history on the corporate takeover of our elections. BruceMcN ========= "Voting Systems `Can't be Trusted'" http://www.truthout.org/docs_03/073103F.shtml A Denver Post front page article by Susan Greene, 30 July 2003, during the International Clerks, Recorders, Election Officials and Treasurers conference held at the Adam's Mark Hotel. ..."In Colorado, for example, the executive director of the Denver Election Commission resigned in 1998 to go to work for Sequoia Pacific Voting Equipment, Inc., a company that had received $6.6 million in contracts from his own department." ... --- After Florida elections in 2002, Dr. Rebecca Mercuri, an internationally known computer software voting security expert, was asked to look into anomalies brought before Palm Beach County's 15th Circuit District Court. In court, Palm Beach supervisor of elections Theresa LaPore [yes, `Butterfly Ballot' LaPore of November 2000] "revealed that the county's purchase contract [with Sequoia Voting Systems, Inc.] included trade-secret clauses that would make it a third-degree felony to disclose details of the specifications or int- ernal functioning of the machines. LaPore also testified that she couldn't understand why anyone would want to take apart the machines since, in her words, `there isn't much inside there.'" "Further she noted that the vendor would void the warranty on the machines if they were opened for inspection. Effectively, any independent verification of proper operation was limited to an examination of the outside of the box." http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY/publicfeature/oct02/evot.html At the Denver Election Commission meeting of 17 Feb. 2004, the issue of "Voting Machine Security" was on the agenda. During the meeting, I relayed to the Commissioners and others present the "Danciu case" described in Dr. Mercuri's words above. I then asked if the Denver Election Commission had such trade-secret and warranty-protection clauses in their (our) contract with Sequoia Voting Systems [yes, the very same vendor -- imagine my anticipation of an answer] the Commissioners (Vaden, Rogers, Adams and exec. dir. Hackett looked like a squad of cheerleaders being asked to explain Quantum Mechanics. Interestingly, all their faces turned not to the represen- tative of the City Attorney's office, Vicky Ortega, seated at the Commission table, but to the representative of Sequoia Voting Systems, Inc., Vice Presi- dent of Sales Howard Kramer, sitting among us spectators. Kramer, a large, not terribly friendly-looking person, slowly turned to me and spoke. "I'd be willing to entertain some brain-storming on this issue", quoth he, and no more. While I struggled to stifle a growing need to shriek "What the fuck does that mean, you suet-brained ham-faced usurper of democracy!?", a bevy of octogenarian election judges cooed indignantly all around me that they'd been watching the polls since God was a corporal and they never found the least reason to suspect anything untoward in Denver balloting. At this point Exec. Dir. Karon Hackett brought the meeting to a close. -BMcN --- "An investigation into the surprisingly-sordid history of America's `election services industry' has revealled that executives and owners of ES&S and Sequoia Pacific, the two largest companies, have been repeatedly convicted of bribery and suborning public officials in more than a dozen states," http://www.madcowprod.com/mc6912004.html --- "I thought HAVA already required a voter-verifiable paper ballot." http://verifiedvoting.org/article.php?id=5019 HAVA section 301 (a)(2)(B) ... "On first reading this requirement seems to ensure that every voter can verify his or her vote... Unfortunately, this audit requirement is widely interpreted to mean the permanent record produced at the end-of-day, unverified by voters." -Prof. David Dill --- ""I need some answers! Our department is being audited by the county. I have been waiting for somone to give me an explanation as to why Precinct 216 gave Al Gore a minus 16,022 when it was uploaded. Will someone please explain this so that I have the information to give the auditor instead of stand- ing here `looking dumb'." -Internal Diebold memo, election 2000 --------- End Original Message --------- From announce-gpco-owner@greens.org Wed Dec 01 20:27:33 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mailman-announce-gpco@pk.greens.org Received: (qmail 14340 invoked by alias); 1 Dec 2004 20:27:33 -0000 Delivered-To: announce-gpco@greens.org Received: (qmail 14334 invoked by uid 0); 1 Dec 2004 20:27:33 -0000 Received: from sire.mail.pas.earthlink.net (207.217.120.182) by cesarchavez.cagreens.org with SMTP; 1 Dec 2004 20:27:33 -0000 Received: from dialup-4.225.209.26.dial1.denver1.level3.net ([4.225.209.26]) by sire.mail.pas.earthlink.net with smtp (Exim 3.33 #1) id 1CZb4V-00050e-00; Wed, 01 Dec 2004 12:27:31 -0800 To: discuss-DenverGreens@yahoogroups.com, grns-gpoc@greens.org, announce-gpco@greens.org Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2004 13:12:00 -0700 From: Bruce McNaughton Message-ID: Subject: [announce-gpco] Rally to Demand Media Scrutiny of Vote Fraud Sender: announce-gpco-admin@greens.org Errors-To: announce-gpco-admin@greens.org X-BeenThere: announce-gpco@greens.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Announce List, Green Party of Colorado List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Please join us -- RALLY to PROTEST the MEDIA BLACKOUT of ELECTRONIC VOTE FRAUD Saturday, December 11, 2004, at 12 noon Colorado State Capitol building, west steps (Colfax Ave and Lincoln St. in Denver) Bring kids, friends, drums and spirit.

To find out their contact information, you can call the Legislative Information Line at *303-866-3055, or find this information online at:* *http://www.leg.state.co.us/Clics2005a/csl.nsf/Directory?openFrameset. Below is a sample letter that can be cut and paste into your own message with your name and sent out. To the Honorable (Your Legislator or Committee Members): I am writing to urge you to support passage of Colorado House Bill 1079, an act concerning measures to inform future visitors to the proposed Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge of its environmental history. I strongly support this bill and would like you, as my government representative, to approve it. This bill recognizes the government�s responsibility for and the wisdom behind cleaning up our environment to ensure our health and the health of future generations. It puts the power to decide whether we consider something a risk and whether we want to risk our health into our own hands, locally and personally. (Please add your own comments here to personalize the message.*) This bill, which is endorsed by the Colorado Green Party, supports the following Green Values: Ecological Wisdom, Social Justice, Grassroots Democracy, Decentralization, Personal and Global Responsibility, and Future Focus. Thank you for your attention to my request. I would appreciate it if you would let me know what you decide on this bill. Respectfully, (Your Name) * Additional comments that could be added to your message (suggested by Green Party member Tanya Ishikawa): To me, this bill is important because it gives visitors the information to make a knowledgable decision on whether they want to visit the refuge. I believe most people, especially those from out of state and especially those coming after a decade has passed, won't know the history of Rocky Flats. They would be surprised to know about the former contamination and current underground contamination, and I am sure they would want to know about it. The Legislature needs to act on this bill because the state and federal government agencies in charge of the cleanup are hesitant to provide this information. They are opposed to it because it harms their self-esteem. They've complained that this bill presupposes failure in the cleanup, offending the agencies involved, but that is not the purpose. Whether the cleanup is perfect and the Flats becomes a perfectly safe place to visit or not, I believe that visitors should be informed of its history of contamination. * From announce-gpco-owner@greens.org Sat Oct 15 18:33:23 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mailman-announce-gpco@pk.greens.org Received: (qmail 5739 invoked by alias); 15 Oct 2005 18:33:23 -0000 Delivered-To: announce-gpco@greens.org Received: (qmail 5736 invoked from network); 15 Oct 2005 18:33:22 -0000 Received: from mx.amigo.net (209.94.64.31) by cesarchavez.cagreens.org with SMTP; 15 Oct 2005 18:33:22 -0000 Received: from mail.amigo.net ([127.0.0.1]) by mail-beta.amigo.net with esmtp; Sat, 15 Oct 2005 12:33:20 -0600 id 004D48F1.43514B70.00009D3D Received: from 69.55.193.137 (SquirrelMail authenticated user oldbogus@ris.net) by mail-beta.amigo.net with HTTP; Sat, 15 Oct 2005 12:33:20 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <1226.69.55.193.137.1129401200.squirrel@mail-beta.amigo.net> Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2005 12:33:20 -0600 (MDT) From: oldbogus@ris.net To: announce-gpco@greens.org User-Agent: SquirrelMail/1.4.5 [CVS] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=_mail-beta.amigo.net-40253-1129401200-0001-2" X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Importance: Normal Subject: [announce-gpco] [Fwd: [GPOC] GREEN PARTY OF COLORADO NEEDS YOU!] Sender: announce-gpco-admin@greens.org Errors-To: announce-gpco-admin@greens.org X-BeenThere: announce-gpco@greens.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Announce List, Green Party of Colorado List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: This is a MIME-formatted message.

I am contacting you today as a function of my other political role, that of treasurer of the Coalition for Better Education, http://www.thecbe.org/, the anti-CSAP group formed by Don Perl out of Greeley. Don was one of the very few teachers in the state courageous enough to "Just Say No to CSAP." He refused to administer it, was suspended for his principles, retired from the Greeley Public Schools, and is now a professor at UNC. I am not going to make a long statement about the evils of high stakes standardized testing here. If anyone wants details, I urge you to contact me. I can supply a reading list, as well as anecdotal evidence from my seventeen years in the classroom and the equal amount of time my wife has spent teaching, that should answer any or all of your questions about why and how CSAP is a monster that is in the process of destroying Colorado's schools and demoralizing its kids and teachers. Rather, I am going to ask for your help in getting our message out. The Denver/Jeffco chapter of the party, thank you Dave Chandler and Rick Van Wie, has already been very supportive, hosting a forum on the subject of standardized testing and generating a number of letters to the editor opposing CSAP as well. That is the kind of help I am looking for. Enclosed find a press release that went out last Friday, one that inspired an article in Saturday's "RM News" and a very vitriolic editorial in today's edition of the same paper. (See also our front page article in the 3/30/05 "Denver Post".) Please share it with friends, family, supporters of the Green Party, your local newspapers, your local school board, and local teachers, students, and parent groups. Please also let me know if you would be willing to host a forum on the subject of high stakes standardized testing or if you know of any groups in your area, e.g. Elks, Lions, Rotary, Kiwanis, etc. who might be willing to entertain a guest speaker. We have a corps of volunteers all over the state who would be willing to assist you in this task. I am ready and willing to go anywhere there is an audience although, if you are out of the I-25 corridor, I might ask for a bed for the night as the price of my services. This is an issue that is tailor made for the Green Party, one on which both wings of the "Republocratic" Party are equally bad, although Rep. Judy Solano (D) is going to introduce legislation in this session attempting to moderate the worst excesses of the testing program. I intend to make testing one of the central issues of my campaign, intend to illustrate how it is a front for voucher adovocates as well as being a potentially huge cash cow for corporate America, e.g. McGraw Hill, a major producer of tests and testing programs, has seen its profits increase seven fold in the period 1993-2003. I have found the general public to be very receptive to the idea of killing this monster once they are fully informed of its colossal biases, especially those of a socioeconomic nature. If the Green Party can make opposition to testing its own, it could serve the party very well in terms of expanding our base, especially among minority and working class communities where we have been traditionally weak. Vote Green! We aren't just tree huggers anymore! Thanks for your consideration.

Beginning on January 16th, the CBE will be unveiling bus bench ads around the metro area and Greeley. The ads will be highlighted by our increasingly recognizable logo of a slash through CSAP and will say, "Parents: We CAN do something about this injustice. Opt out letters available at www.thecbe.org." The January 16th rollout of our ads, and their location on bus benches, is particularly appropriate given that that is the date for this year's celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. Opposition to high stakes standardized testing, with its well documented biases in the areas of ethnicity, gender, and especially socioeconomic status, is a civil rights issue. High stakes standardized testing is one of the primary factors in the ongoing resegregation of America's schools, with some studies showing that our schools are now more segregated, i.e. have more nonwhite children attending majority nonwhite schools, than in the era before Brown vs. Board of Education. Parallels to the civil rights struggle also exist in terms of the responses of authority to those who are challenging their policies. Just as governments all across the nation instituted the most draconian punishments against students who protested segregation in the nineteen fifities and sixties, so are they now punishing those who would now stand up in opposition to the resegregation of our schools. The Bennett School District has threatened to fail those students who exercise their legal right to opt out of the test, while the Wiggins School District has threatened to exclude them from extracurricular activities and field trips. Despite these abuses of power, more than three thousand students, including my daughter, "Just Said No to CSAP" last year ("Denver Post", 3/30/05). They honor the memories of Dr. King and Rosa Parks with their courage and set a shining example that we urge all of the people of Colorado, students, teachers, parents, and the citizenry in general to follow. -------------------------------1137606571 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

CSAP AND CIVIL RIGHTS

On behalf of the Coalition for Better Education, http://www.thecbe.org/,, its= founder Don Perl, its hundreds of members from around the state, and the te= ns of thousands of students, teachers, parents, and average citizens all ove= r the country who are rising up in spontaneous and democratic opposition to=20= high stakes standardized testing, I would like to bring to your attention th= e CBE's latest educational effort.

On February 16th, an interview that I recently recorded on the subject of Colorado's standardized testing program, CSAP, will be broadcast on KGNU, 88.5 FM in Boulder and 1390 AM in Denver, as part of their morning magazine, broadcast time approximately 800-815. That interview was scheduled in conjunction with my appearance at Left Hand Books, 1200 Pearl Street in Boulder, on 2/21 at 7:00 PM. I will speak on the CSAP and the opposition to it being organized by the Coalition for Better Education, http://www.thecbe.org/. I urge you to listen and attend if at all possible for two reasons. First, this is an issue that the Denver/Jeffco Green Party has already generously supported. Dave Chandler organized a forum on the subject last year and will be organizing another one next month. Check his website, dave@davechandler.us, for details. Second, this is an issue which allows us to clearly delineate the difference between ourselves and either the Democrat or Republican wings of the "Republocratic" Party. As on so many other issues, they are marching in lockstep in terms of their support for high stakes standardized testing. In the mean time, there is an ever growing grassroots opposition to such testing, both in Colorado and nationwide. This is potentially an enormously powerful issue through which the Green Party could gain new activists and voters. In support of opposition to CSAP, I will also have an article later this week in the "Rocky Mountain News" and on 2/16 in the "North Denver Tribune". On the issue of testing, as with many other issues like health care and illegal immigration, the citizens of Colorado are looking for new perspectives. I recently attended a community forum hosted by my state representative, Michael Garcia, against whom I hope to run in the fall, and my state senator, Bob Hagedorn. Everyone in the audience wished to discuss the immigration issue. They were very unsatisfied with the tap dancing around it provided by the the two Democrats. Neither wing of the "Republocratic" Party can honestly discuss the root cause of the problem, NAFTA, a treaty supported by their members in the Congress and lobbied for and signed by Bill Clinton. There is a great opening on this issue, as with high stakes standardized testing, for both the state and national Green parties. I hope to see you all in Denver on May 13th for the state convention. It is being hosted this year by the Arapahoe County Green Party of which I am the secretary. In the spirit of that hospitality, let me offer to personally host some of you, i.e. we can probably sleep three or four people at my house.

The conference is an annual event hosted by the Colorado Renewable Energy Society and cosponsored this year by Environment Colorado. The theme of this year's conference is "Colorado Renewable Energy: Leading by Example." More than forty speakers will address a variety of renewable energy and energy efficiency topics, many of which have special significance in Colorado's "New Energy Economy." WHAT: 2007 Colorado Renewable Energy Conference WHEN: June 8th thru June 10th WHERE: Steamboat Grand Hotel, 2300 Mount Werner Cir, Steamboat Springs, CO 80487 To register for the conference, or for more information, click on the link below or copy and paste it into your web browser: http://www.environmentcolorado.org/events MORE INFORMATION The conference will begin on Friday, June 8, with numerous workshops showing how you can take advantage of renewable energy and energy efficiency in your own life. The Saturday morning keynote address will be given by Dr. Charles Kutscher, Principal Engineer and Manager of the Thermal Systems Group at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, past Chairman of the American Solar Energy Society, and editor of the recently released American Solar Energy Society report, Tackling Climate Change in the U.S.: Potential Carbon Emissions Reductions from Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy by 2030. Dr. Kutscher will present the findings. Other Saturday sessions will include a roundtable discussion of rural electric cooperatives regarding challenges and opportunities in Colorado's "New Energy Economy." Representatives of Colorado's ski industry will explain why it's not so easy to be green. A husband-and-wife team will share their personal experiences in going off the electricity grid. And there will be presentations on a number of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies, as well as discussions of legislation, marketing, and institutional issues. Saturday evening's dinner session will feature a keynote address by Dr. Patricia Nelson Limerick, Chair of the Center of the American West at CU-Boulder. She is also a co-author of the Center's latest publication, entitled What Every Westerner Should Know About Energy Efficiency and Conservation. Dr. Limerick's talk is whimsically titled "Colorful, Practical and Counter-Intuitive Lessons from the Western Past: Historically-Based How-To Guides for Orchestrating Gigantic Social Transitions in Energy Use." The Colorado Renewable Energy Society will also present awards for energy efficient building design from around the state. A number of seminars will be offered on Sunday, June 10, covering subjects like running a successful solar energy business, deciding on specific renewable energy technologies, greening your own home or business, and more. There will also be self-guided tours of homes and businesses in the Steamboat Springs area that take advantage of the latest and greatest energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. The Colorado Renewable Energy Society Sponsors and related organizations will fill the Exhibit Hall during the Conference, displaying their goods and services throughout the weekend.
