KEY BLOCK----- ::: ProgressNow - Building the online progressive movement state by state ::: Friends, It's a busy time for all our affiliate organizations, but we want to take a step back and let you know about just some of the great work we are witnessing in our states. Since everyone has election fever these days, this snapshot focuses on election protection, voter education and our many efforts to fight voter suppression. In some states we've mounted legal fights (Wisconsin & Virginia), in most of our states we are creating and widely publishing Progressive Voter Guides, in too many of our states we are having to counter the ultra-Conservative "True the Vote" astroturfing, and in all our states we are working closely with partners and striving to ensure that elected officials uphold and enforce the law and the spirit of election protection.  Below is a snapshot, moving west to east, of the kind of work we are doing across all of our states. Please enjoy this update and please let me know how you think ProgressNow and ProgressNowEducation are doing and what we should be doing. Forward - together! Aniello Alioto  National Political Director ProgressNow ProgressNow Education New Mexico ProgressNow New Mexico made national news when they released undercover video of a Republican Party poll worker (and leading Tea Party activist) training NM poll challengers to blatantly violate election law. This video shows a GOP party official instructed participants to illegally demand identification, deny translation assistance and to force some legal voters to use provisional ballots. The video went viral having reached more than 49,300 views in six days.  The video was played in the lead segment on the 10/4 edition of "Politics Nation with Al Sharpton" on MSNBC, earned a front-page Op-Ed in the HuffingtonPost from Ambassador Joe Wilson, front page stories on Salon.com (here and here), ThinkProgress (here and here) and The Nation where Congressman Steve Pearce (R-NM) was quoted as saying he was aware of and sanctioned the illegal tactics as the way Republicans would win back the state. ProgressNowNM later returned to the training and found the state True The Vote director teaching the Republican-party training (a violation of IRS rules).  On day 5 of the story, New Mexico's Attorney General announced an official investigation into voter suppression, calling it a "concerted effort to discourage some voters."  Though the story continues to develop, to date more than 80 news stories about ProgressNowNM's voter suppression expose have been tracked.  Not bad for a new state, a determined team and a used video camera.  http://progressnow.pnstate.org/site/R?i=nv-nvPcit3A1R74sghtyWA http://progressnow.pnstate.org/site/R?i=-5Y-QQeGBKop5BGtWL9muQ http://progressnow.pnstate.org/site/R?i=nLu4bUO7j4saqoZ0ztAbzQ http://progressnow.pnstate.org/site/R?i=_wstx7BUh6sW6i5gFD35cA http://progressnow.pnstate.org/site/R?i=mnNi6Z2qQfITYaEvsIKoVA http://progressnow.pnstate.org/site/R?i=75-HkdrC3hht5ZaeZW1QbQ http://progressnow.pnstate.org/site/R?i=7WunOMQ-FtC0z4lTk6mDfw http://progressnow.pnstate.org/site/R?i=gHBXF1tvUgWgtaZ7HtSz1A http://progressnow.pnstate.org/site/R?i=8muEkeU4sGI91_vN-Q4ADA Colorado  Colorado's current Secretary of State (SOS), Scott Gessler, is the most partisan person to hold that office. As an Elections Attorney who built his career on helping conservative special interests get around election law, we knew we had to take him seriously as soon as he took office. ProgressNow Colorado, along with several partners, built a long-term plan to brand Gessler and consistently hold him accountable for his actions. This 18 month plan which includes legal, earned and social media, public education, and surrogate development, has held Gessler back from his weekly attempts to put unnecessary obstacles in front of voters. This long-term plan has directly resulted in consistent, negative, and truthful coverage of Gessler's activities.  As we approach the election, ProgressNow Colorado has plans to counter Gessler's friends at True the Vote with "voting heroes" who will have the back of anyone whose ballot is challenged. ProgressNow Colorado is also currently working with local and national press to ensure they are aware of potential last-minute games that Gessler could play between now and certification of the election. Our team will be live-blogging any instances of voter intimidation to ensure the issue brought into the public sphere. All of this will be done with a keen eye toward empowering voters - not making them afraid of turning out. Michigan Progress Michigan is working hand-in-hand with the Michigan Election Coalition on a number of different voter protection angles. They are aggressively pushing back on the Secretary of State's citizenship checkbox, which requires every voter to affirm citizenship before they are giving a ballot. The bill was vetoed by Gov. Snyder, but the SOS is still putting the checkbox on ballots anyway (although she won't deny ballots to people who refuse to sign). Progress Michigan helped place op-eds, push out statements, etc. They are also heavily promoting the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline with earned and paid media and the recently past voter registration deadline with local media events. Ohio ProgressOhio will utilize a multi-faceted strategy to engage, educate and empower voters across Ohio to participate in the November 6th general election. ProgressOhio will employee every method and tool at their disposal (numerous email reminders, aggressively publishing the election protection Hotline number, a one-stop-shop website resource development for partners, media training on messaging and rapid response mechanisms to ensure maximum media exposure, production and dissemination of a "How to Vote" video,  Secretary of State outreach and relationship maintenance (will also allow us to have direct access to the Ohio Secretary of State office on Election Day should problems arise in Ohio), Poll Monitor recruitment - heavily relying in pastors and ministerial alliances, continuous and aggressive outreach to traditional media and social media.  Virginia ProgressVA continues to staff the communications needs for Virginia's election protection coalition. Over the past month, ProgressVA has worked to increase coverage of grassroots voter registration and education efforts, with a particular emphasis on story placement in college campus media. Additionally, they've also been reviewing public records requests seeking information on True the Vote, and their Virginia affiliate, Virginia Voter's Alliance, communications with the State Board of Elections and local registrars. All this voter protection work has been done with an eye towards January, when we expect to face several bills seeking to restrict voter registration and participation. They're laying the groundwork now to be able to point to valuable, legal, and effective grassroots civic engagement work when the time comes to help combat the false voter fraud narrative. Basically, they are winning the future - now.  New Hampshire Over the past two years Granite State Progress & Granite State Progress Education Fund has participated in an Election Law Coalition convened by America Votes to help fight voter suppression legislation in New Hampshire. This has included public education, legislative testimony and hard-hitting media communications. With the election just around the corner, Granite State Progress have teamed up with America Votes and the New Hampshire Citizens Alliance (NHCA) to create and publicize an election protection and voter education website to empower citizens with the ability to have their vote counted. This year a new state law in New Hampshire requires voters to present photo identification or sign an affidavit before casting a ballot. The September 11th State Primary was supposed to be a test run of the system, but it was a complete failure as voters were turned away from the polls. This heightens concerns for the November election. We are currently in the process of adding materials so that the website can go live the week of October 8. The website will contain: * Information on how to contact a voter protection hotline maintained by NHCA Voter education materials (recent court decisions, handouts, fact sheets, posters, and brochures) by the ACLU, LWV, NHCA and America Votes Information on where to vote, voting absentee, and registering to vote PSA videos covering different demographics in English and Spanish, possibly French, produced by Granite State Progress & Education Fund; * a media center where all clips regarding the election will be made easily available for voters and journalists alike; and, * a Twitter feed with hash tags of interest. ::: Copyright 2012 ProgressNow Change your e-mail preferences or unsubscribe: http://www.pnstate.org/site/CO?i=QmTDxyPrxGmtGXeULcFon-S6pYtFZWwu&cid=0
