Video camera users, photographers, and just Plain nosey folks!

Posted By: Marta Fernandez on October 29, 2008 Your skills are needed on November 4!Fox News doesn't want you to remember that during the 2000 and 2004 elections, voters faced many problems at the polls: long lines, list purges, voter intimidation, not enough machines and broken equipment. As time passed, a bigger picture of intentional voter disenfranchisement emerged, but it was too late. The elections were over and the media had moved on. Early voting has started and Fox News doesn't want you to know that the same scenarios are already happening. Election machines shifting votes from Obama to McCain, extraordinarily long lines and more... How can you help? Fox News uses video to get out their message... so can you. Video cameras have become very inexpensive and practically every new cell phone has a video camera built in. Each of us, as ordinary citizens can become on-call election monitors. People like you and me who contribute their time [www.VideoTheVote.org] to make sure that the greatest democracy in the world has the greatest election system in the world. If you are not going to be an actual poll worker or a poll watcher, please sign up to Video the Vote [www.VideoTheVote.org] and join a growing network of Americans working together to monitor and improve our election systems. We are concerned citizens, amateur videographers, voting rights activists, and filmmakers united by a commitment to strengthening democracy through citizen oversight. And we need your help: Videographers - Get dispatched to cover problems in your area or go out and document on your own. Dispatchers - Monitor the national voter hotlines and then send out videographers to get the stories. Drivers - Help videographers get to where they're going. Uploaders/tech support - Make sure volunteer videos get online and to the media as fast as possible. Bloggers - Review volunteer footage and spread the word about the best clips. Sign up [www.VideoTheVote.org] and help ensure that the full story of Election Day gets told. And once you do, please spread the word. Video the Vote would not exist without the support and collaboration of a wide range of partners, including: Advancement Project [ www.AdvancementProject.org ] Brennan Center for Justice { www.BrennanCenter.org ] Bus Project [ www.BusProject.org ] Color of Change [ www.ColorOfChange.org ] If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |

This post was sent to me. I am so humbled to see that every single American can put the government, Election Officials, etc and the political parties in check. This is a "people's movement without declaring it so."
