Fwd: [wnyselfadvocates] 20 Million Americans Didn't Vote!

[Guest guest]

Over 20 million Americans with disabilities were unable to cast their

ballot in 2000. As we get closer to the elections this November, I am

really concerned that these voters will still not be able to have their

voices heard this year. And the problem is, President Bush isn't doing

what he can to help them. Thank you for reading this Senior Digest alert

I thought we solved the problem when Congress passed, and President Bush

signed into law, the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) back in 2002. HAVA was

supposed to help avoid a repeat of the 2000 election's controversial

mistakes and make the polls accessible to all Americans. But just

signing HAVA into law wasn't enough - President Bush needs to back it up

with funding and today, he has failed.

Please send a message to President Bush today, asking him to take

responsibility for ensuring that all Americans have access to the polls

this November:

All the pundits are saying that it's going to be a close election again

this year. Over 40 million Americans with disabilities are eligible to

vote in America and we need to make sure that their voices are heard!
