Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    Progressive Democrat Issue 87: NATIONAL ACTION WITH MAINSTREET MOMS

    This is from Mainstreet Moms: Pollworkers for Democracy

    Pollworkers for Democracy urges anyone who's not nailed down to pledge, right now, to work the polls with us this November. (And get paid.)

    Because you – the informed, the concerned, the online – are needed in the front row seats on Election Day. You'll be helping voters, assisting elections officials, taking firsthand notes, and leaving with a new understanding of American elections.

    You'll receive information on how to look up your local election official and apply for a pollworker position, when you Pledge to Pollwork.
    TIP: We suggest applying for a pollworker position as an individual citizen, rather than as a member of any organization.

    Having a flood of informed citizens like yourself take part in running elections locally is key to recovering a more transparent and accountable democracy, in alliance with the elections officials who want to see votes counted accurately, and voter confidence restored.. The observations you make on Election Day will be collected through an online survey, and will be part of a national Election Incident Reporting Database supporting informed reform, media outreach, and other efforts where needed.

    So can you give a day to democracy?

    Find out how you can help make sure our elections are fair right in your own neighborhood while getting paid.
