V3
- Video Vote Vigil
Texans
for Truth, working
with DriveDemocracy.org,
has
launched a nationwide project to document election abuses: V3 - The
Video
Vote Vigil. We're looking for volunteers to film voter intimidation
efforts
wherever they take place: highway road blocks, polling places, work
sites,
or neighborhoods.
We'll need your help -- if you can be present at a
polling place location
with your video equipment please document what you see. If you get
video
of voter intimidation or suppression efforts please upload them to this
site so the world can see. On November 2nd please join the army of
volunteers
who will keep an eye on our democracy. Volunteer here to submit video
of
disturbances outside polling locations. Enter your contact info and we
will send you an email with more information. Register
now!
Bullies like to work in the dark. They like to hide.
But with the help
of tens of thousands of volunteers, we can shine a light on them. Join
us in this historic effort.
The thugs cannot escape a million righteous eyes...
