Free Speech For People

John,

*We're writing to you with exciting news:*

Free Speech For People has joined forces with our partners at the National Election Defense Coalition and actress and activist Alyssa Milano ("Charmed, Who's the Boss?") to launch the Creative Arts Council, a network of creative artists with a shared interest in ensuring our elections are free, fair, and protected from cyber interference.

In addition to Alyssa Milano, members of the council currently include: Robert De Niro, Alec Baldwin, Glenn Close, Alan Cumming, Henry Winkler, Melissa Etheridge, Sterling K. Brown, Ron Perlman, Debra Messing, Patricia Arquette, Katey Sagal, Ken Olin, Yvette Nicole Brown, Frances Fisher, Rosie O'Donnell, and Danny Zuker.

Many states still use touchscreen voting systems that provide no paper ballots and cannot be audited. They are vulnerable to hacking even without an internet connection, and the states that do use paper ballots often do not audit the computerized ballot scanners that count the votes. Though the U.S. intelligence community has warned that our election systems are actively being targeted by hackers and our adversaries, some election officials continue to resist common-sense reforms.

The Creative Arts Council will be spreading the message, through social media and other means, that the only way to protect the elections from interference and increase voter confidence is with secure, hand-marked paper ballots, assistive paper ballot marking devices for voters that choose them, robust post-election audits capable of detecting and correcting manipulation, and guarantees that no voting systems are connected to the internet.

*But we'll need your help to make our message heard. **Can you chip in to help us call for secure and reliable voting systems?* [ [link removed] ]

Our collaboration with the National Election Defense Coalition is paving the way to secure elections in every state. We've teamed up to sue [ [link removed] ] Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson for access to public records on the security and reliability of voting machines. We are partnering with the NEDC and Citizens for Better Elections in Pennsylvania to challenge [ [link removed] ] in court the Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth for sanctioning the use of new voting machines with serious defects, in violation of Pennsylvania election law. And, we are exposing false claims made by voting machine manufacturers about their voting systems.

We are thrilled to have the support of Alyssa Milano and the members of the Creative Arts Council joining us in this fight for election security. With their public profiles, these artists will help us spotlight the significant vulnerabilities that still remain with computerized voting systems and press for reforms and contingency plans before the 2020 election.

As Alyssa told "Variety Magazine" [ [link removed] ] in an article covering the launch of this council: "If we don't have secure elections, we're done. Because the country is so divided, it is essential that voters can trust the results of the election."

*Chip in today to help us ensure that our votes are properly recorded and that our elections are properly verified.* [ [link removed] ]
