An Important Message from Rick Jacobs:
Debra Bowen was elected Secretary of State in November as a netroots/grassroots candidate, the only statewide elected woman and a true Courage Campaign progressive hero.Now, Secretary Bowen is responsible for assuring that California's votes count and are counted. She is already off to an incredible start and wants to tell you all about it.
Secretary Bowen has garnered headlines across the country for her "Top to Bottom Review" of California's electronic voting machines. The results, exposing gaping security holes, were so shocking that she moved immediately to decertify thousands of machines. Since then, she has started an investigation into the illegal sale of non-certified voting machines to numerous California counties.
Debra Bowen has been working hard to ensure we have fair, safe and secure elections. This is a rare chance for you to hear directly from Secretary Bowen about her work protecting our votes and her plans for the THREE, count them THREE, elections next year.

This is a great opportunity for a follow-up to the call we did with Secretary Bowen back in March.

Chair
P.S. In March, Courage Campaign launched a special "Election Protection California" group on our web site. The purpose of this forum is to stay in touch with Secretary Bowen as well as empower you to work with each other on election protection issues in California.

Debra Bowen's victory was a victory for every grass roots activist in California. Her election came about not because of mainstream media and not because the talking heads on TV gave her any positive acknowledgement but because of phone banks and email lists.
You go Debra. I will be listening on Monday.
