Despite your calls and emails, our grassroots effort to get Congress to let voters cast emergency paper ballots in the 2006 election has failed. We simply cannot depend on our representatives in Washington to guarantee free, fair and transparent elections in the U.S.
It's up to us. And we have a unique opportunity -- if we take action now -- to keep Republican operatives from stealing the election in Ohio and other key presidential states in 2008. And for the next 72 hours, you can double your impact, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor.*

If Katherine Harris had not been the secretary of state in Florida, Al Gore would have been elected president. If Ken Blackwell had not been secretary of state in Ohio, John Kerry might be president today.
In most states, secretaries of state run elections: they set the rules for voter registration, election administration, and counting the votes. Why do we allow Republican partisans to control the casting and counting of our ballots?
We've sent emails. Now's the time to put our money where our mouth is. If we all contribute $25, $50, or $100, we can decide who counts the votes in key swing states -- states like Ohio, New Mexico, Minnesota, Nevada, Michigan, Colorado and Iowa.
Help today with your contribution:

In Ohio, Republicans are trying to install a Bush administration crony and Texas transplant in the office that counts the vote. The Democratic candidate -- Jennifer Brunner -- is a trusted judge running on a platform of election integrity. Shockingly, a recent poll reports that 61 percent of Ohioans have yet to make up their minds in this race.
We have work to do. We can give Brunner and other Secretary of State Project candidates the support they need -- or we can face the consequences in 2008. If we contribute now, every dollar we raise will be matched one for one by a generous donor.
Seize this opportunity and give today:

We have 19 days left until the election. And we can use that time to put people in office who want an honest, clean vote in 2008 -- or spend two years regretting our mistake.
Every contribution we make today counts for double. That means twice the muscle behind our effort to hold clean elections -- and to stop shenanigans like Blackwell's once and for all. So give today -- every dollar you contribute will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Make that $25 contribution count as $50. Give $50 and a candidate receives $100. Give $500 and make a $1,000 impact.

The time to give is now -- while candidates still have time to plan their final push, and to convince voters that we can have fair, transparent elections. Don't wait too late. Give today. Thanks to the matching grant, your contribution will be doubled:
