''Work/Learn/Party For Democracy''

"We need your help on this voting lawsuit, but we'd like to make volunteering more of a two way street if we can. So.... on Sunday, we'd love to have you come by and help make verifiable democracy a learning and helping experience for all of us.

On Sunday at 2 p.m., after an hour or so of *informational* Q&A about the case and its possibilities, Paul will present:

(1) a needs list for the case of specific duties, tasks, etc. for which volunteers are needed and

(2) will also thereafter present a half hour *learning* tutorial on how to file a Public Disclosure ACT (PDA) request, what citizen rights are under the PDA, and what resources you can use to file your own PDA requests. We have a nice classroom-style space for this.

As "tuition", each person will be asked to volunteer to "apply* what they've learned to one of the items on the needs list (above at (1)) or else to draft and file a Public Disclosure request in the general area of electronic voting (with Paul's drafting help if desired) as your contribution toward honest verifiable open voting systems in Washington state.

WHEN: 2 p.m. Sunday, April 10

WHERE: Law offices of LEHTO & PENFIELD 2829 Rucker Avenue, 3rd Floor, corner of Rucker and Hewitt Avenue in downtown Everett.

PARKING: Free street parking available.

REFRESHMENTS: Bring something if you can, but Pizza will be provided for the hard core that make it to 5:30 p.m. (fine to leave earlier)

CONTACT: Paul's cell at 425-422-1387
RSVP nice but not required."-from WashBlog.
