As a co-drafter of the Request By Voters letter to Congress ( wethepatriots.org ), I have been working with Nancy Tobi to find workable reform solutions that support citizen oversight of our elections and election integrity. Nancy has been an influential and leading national activist, who understands the importance of the partnership between citizens and election officials in creating meaningful election reform. Your contribution to this fundraising appeal will allow Ms. Tobi to meet with top state and local election officials from across the nation and promote our efforts in working with them to ensure election integrity for our nation. Ms. Tobi has a proven record of success in her home state of New Hampshire in drafting and getting passed positive election legislation. We need this now for the nation, and your contribution will help bring us closer to that goal. -Bev Harris, Black Box Voting

Grassroots Leaders,

We need to raise $2300 in a targeted appeal to support our Chair so she can represent Democracy for New Hampshire (DFNH) and Election Defense Alliance (EDA) at two election events in February 2007, where she will meet and network with top state and local election officials from across the nation.

To raise the needed amount, we are asking each of you to contribute at least $50 to this targeted campaign. You can pay online at http://www.democracyfornewhampshire.com/conference-travel-fundraiser or send a check to DFNH, PO Box 717, Concord, NH 03301. If you are sending a check please notify Elizabeth, our Treasurer, by email at elizsan@comcast.net.

Nancy Tobi, DFNH co-founder and current Chair and EDA Legislative Coordinator, has been working with the DFNH Fair Elections Committee in getting passed pro-active election integrity legislation in the State of New Hampshire. She has been active in the pursuit of national legislative solutions that are fiscally responsible and meet the standards of democracy. Her writings and work in this field are well-known and have been influential nationally among top election activists.

The February meetings with top election officials from around the nation will enable her to develop strategies for positive election integrity legislation in New Hampshire and other states. She will be able to build a coalition with these election experts in finding sorely needed practical election integrity solutions on the federal level as well.

As DFNH and EDA emissary to these two national events, Ms. Tobi will accomplish three important goals:

1. Learn from others what is working and what needs improvement in the nation's election systems
2. Communicate lessons learned from NH successes and challenges
3. Establish a broader network of interested citizens and officials from around the nation who will support a national agenda of election integrity that embraces common sense, practical, and fiscally responsible legislative solutions.

Please send your check or pay online today.

Thank you for your support!
