GAB Meeting, Your Vote Does Count

I received this by E Mail. It's important to protect your vote. If you can be there or know someone who can, let them know.
We're Watching Wisconsin Elections Campaign



On Nov. 9th the Government Accountability Board is having a meeting that everyone who is concerned about our elections should attend. They will be discussing and voting on a number of issues including:
1)  Student IDs
2)  Single signature recall petitions that can be sent over the internet
3)  Allowing citizens to vote a second time
It is at 9 AM and will be at their offices at 212 E. Washington or in the Capitol. We need friendly faces!!!!!!.
Go to:  gab.wi.gov for more information 


On Thursday, Oct. 20th, there will be a discussion regarding the Voter ID bill.  This will be conducted by the 4th Street Forum, a live cable TV show featuring Rep. Jeff Stone, Kevin Kennedy of the GAB and a lawyer from the ACLU.  It is, as I understand, an audience participation program.  This will take place at Turner Hall, Milwaukee and start at 11:30.  For directions google in 4th Street Forum or Turner Hall.  If you can, pass the word and encourage  attendance, that would be helpful.  Plan to attend and possibly ask a question. 

FYI - This is an article from the Milwaukee Journal in regards to legislation two Assembly Democrats have proposed that would keep the GAB independent, non-partisan, ethical watchdogs.  PLEASE!!!!   We need to know how they think.

PLEASE CONSIDER BECOMING A POLL WORKER IN YOUR COMMUNITY.
THE DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 15TH!
