Election Protection Training Starts Monday

This November, thousands of Election Protection volunteers will be on hand at polling places in Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Santa Fe and three dozen other cities nationwide where voters' rights are most at risk in the 2004 election.

Well-trained and well-equipped, Election Protection poll monitors will be the eyes and ears of the single largest voter protection effort ever. But, more importantly, they'll be a voice -- for voters and for democracy -- providing same-day solutions to voters' problems and protecting the election from before the first vote is cast until the last vote is counted.

On September 20th and 21st, volunteers in New Mexico are going to begin their Election Protection training in Albuquerque, and we invite you to come see and hear how you can help protect the 2004 election.

These trainings are free and no volunteer commitment is required. Get your friends and family together to work toward a stronger democracy. We'll rally, train and meet up with volunteers who will protect voters' rights in precincts where problems are most likely to occur on election day.

Please join us in this historic effort. With your help and support, we will succeed in ensuring a free, fair and honest election in New Mexico.

Thank you,
