[Voterescue] This Week on VoteRescue Radio, Sunday, Dec. 2, 2-4 pm CT

[Karen Renick]

*This Sunday,  December 2,  2-4pm Central time, on "VoteRescue Radio - 
Where Citizens Count, One Vote at a Time", our special guest is _Ellen 
Theisen_,* founder, co-director and managing editor of VotersUnite!, a 
non-partisan national grassroots online resource for fair and accurate 
elections. "We believe in the power of facts" reads the website.*

*In her 22-year career as a software technical writer, she has written 
hundreds of user manuals, functional and design specifications, online 
help systems, and programmer guides. Ellen created and maintains the 
VotersUnite! website, developing most of the informational resources 
available on the site.

Early in 2004, Ellen wrote "Myth Breakers for Election Officials" to 
dispel myths about HAVA and inform federal, state and county level 
officials of important, under-publicized facts about electronic voting 
issues. The document has been distributed to thousands of 
decision-makers, and volunteers are now distributing the second edition. 
The document has also been included as testimony in three court cases 
regarding electronic voting issues.

Ellen's work in the voting integrity movement led directly to the 
development of the Vote-PAD <http://www.vote-pad.us/>(www.Vote-PAD.us) 
as an accessible alternative to computerized voting devices. During much 
of 2006, she focused her attention on providing that alternative, and 
has now resumed her involvement at VotersUnite!
_                                                                                                                                                                     
            _

Here in Texas and across the country, as more and more voters finally 
realize the insanity of using machines that secretly count their votes, 
and as counties watch their budgets go belly-up because of the enormous 
costs of purchasing and storing this electronic  equipment, voter-assist 
devices such as the Vote-PAD that allow the disabled voter to mark a 
paper ballot privately and independently are gaining in acceptance and 
demand. During our interview with Ellen in the show's second hour, we 
will have her tell us all about her amazing journey from activist to 
inventor!

Please tune in this Sunday, December 2, 2-4 pm to VoteRescue Radio. The 
show can be heard on the radio in the Austin area at 90.1 FM; is 
streaming live on www.wtprn.com <http://www.wtprn.com/> (for "We the 
People Radio Network"), AND, can be heard OVER THE PHONE at 512/485-9010!
