THIS is the opportunity we need to get EVERY congressman and Senator, Republican OR Democrat, concerned enough about vote fraud, real OR imagined -- to get them on board to push for uniform voting requirements for FEDERAL offices nationwide, including photo ID and a signature affirming citizenship and voting only once -- with penalties for PERJURY AS WELL AS VOTING LAW VIOLATIONS.

And, uh, speaking of affirming citizenship... how 'bout THIS idea?

I called MY Congressman and Senator's offices this past week. How about YOU?

Wait a minute. How 'bout signatures affirming citizenship, voting only once, being properly registered, still living at the address of registration and NOT BEING DEAD -- with penalties for perjury as well as voting law violations?

Only one problem--how would you deal with military voters? Many military people don't have addresses within their district of registration. I've been thinking, maybe absentee voters should have to send in a signed copy of their ID along with their ballot. Also, everyone showing up to vote should have to show ID to verify that they are the person listed on the poll roster. And there needs to be a national clearinghouse, to cross-reference names and make sure that when a person registers in a new district, their registration is cancelled in the old district.

As for writing or calling our representatives--my representatives are Feinstein and Boxer (despite my actual location). Feinstein might pay attention to a plea for reform--but Boxer? Is it worth contacting her, knowing she'll ignore my concern (as she has done in the past)?
