Protect your vote: Moveon’s election protection card

Just got this email and thought others might find this useful.
Dear MoveOn member,
They’re doing it again. In Nevada, a Republican contractor has allegedly ripped up thousands of Democratic registration forms.(1) In Florida, Jeb Bush has purged tens of thousands of legitimate voters — mostly black, mostly Democratic — from the rolls because their names are similar to a felon’s.(2) In Ohio, the Republican Secretary of State has been so uncooperative that a federal judge said that he “apparently seeks to accomplish the same result in Ohio in 2004 that occurred in Florida in 2000.”(3)
But there’s one big difference between the election of 2000 and the election of 2004: this time, a number of powerful, well-staffed groups will be aggressively responding to each and every instance of voter intimidation, suppression, and fraud. Messing with our right to vote is a felony, and with your help we’ll make sure that anyone who does is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
We’ve put together a wallet-sized card that has all the numbers and information you need if someone tries to stop you from exercising your right to vote. You can download it now at:
Frankly, I am impressed!
