"Myth Breakers Progress"
VotersUnite! Alert #1. April 24, 2004. Hi United Voters! Well, we're already making a difference. April 20 was Project Myth Breakers' kick-off, and as you probably know, 41 small groups in 22 different states participated. While we didn't get a lot of press, the West Virginia group was mentioned in two news articles, one in the West Virginia Gazette and the other in the Charleston Daily News. - At the recommendation of the President of the Connecticut Registrars Association, every one of the 169 town Registrars downloaded a copy of "Myth Breakers." - So far, 115 other counties are covered – or already delivered! - Sherrie Swensen, Salt Lake County Clerk and a member of the Utah Election Commission, received two copies on kick-off day. Later in the week a news article in the Utah Desert News quotes her as saying "I think it's a tragic mistake. Why are we rushing into this?" - IOWA is making its Myth Breaking into a state event! So pass the Project information to all the people you know in Iowa. Tell them to contact Alta Price at aprice@democracyforiowa.com. WILL YOUR STATE BE NEXT? Read about some personal experiences of the kick-off here: http://www.votersunite.org/takeaction/kickoff.htm We are making great headway, but we still have MANY to go. Every election official needs one! Please sign up for as many additional counties as you can manage (http://www.votersunite.org/takeaction/myth-signup1.asp) and watch the STARS come out on your state's list of counties (http://www.votersunite.org/takeaction/mythbreaker-counties.asp). Here are some ideas: - Encourage your friends in other states and counties to participate in Project Myth Breaker. - Take a day trip to several neighboring counties and deliver Myth Breakers. - Contact grassroots organizations in your state and get them involved in the hand-deliveries. - Post the following message in all your blogs and discussion groups. (http://www.votersunite.org/takeaction/mythbreaker_alert1.htm) HERE'S A TERRIFIC FIND! An interactive map. Click on your state, click on your county, and see the election official's name and address in the "Additional Information."
