Deepa and Scott - 

	As I believe Deepa was told about a month ago this listserv is not for political purposes.  I am sending this to register my disagreement with the posting of this type of e-mail on this listserv.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you mean correction on this politically obvious posting which you know violates list management policy. I'm sure you'll be hearing a cease and desist message from Mr. Babarre.

Hello,

I am helping to recruit people with disabilities for the Obama Victory Counsel, Obama for America's volunteer voter protection legal team, which helps ensure that every eligible voter's voice will be heard in 2012. We are looking for people who have legal experience or are legal professionals who have a passion for disability issues.  Since the 2010 midterm elections, many states, including many battleground states that will likely decide the election, have adopted restrictive voter eligibility requirements.  These new requirements create confusion for voters and election workers alike, and the Obama for America Voter Protection team is at the forefront of the fight to make voting easy for all eligible Americans.

I write today to ask you to join in that worthy fight.  Obama for America needs attorneys, paralegals, and law students to share critical information with voters through the hotline and find solutions to voting problems that arise between now and the time the polls close on election day.  We also need poll observers to ensure people have access to their right to vote on Election Day.  The campaign is building a sophisticated research and telecommunications infrastructure to facilitate the response to voters'
questions.  We are still in the process of building our team, so the best time to join is now.

.         On Election Day, you will monitor polling sites and serve as our
eyes and ears on the ground to report problems and ensure that all eligible voters are able to cast their vote. The state you're assigned to will conduct training sessions and will announce exact times/locations by e-mail as we get closer to the Election. We will provide you with a training manual covering state election law basics. Additionally, encourage others to join our efforts to protect our voters by forwarding our Victory Counsel sign-up link at:
http://ofa.bo/Victory.

If you or anyone you know would like to sign up, please respond to deepa.goraya at gmail.com with your name, cell phone, email, address, and times you are available to volunteer. We also need to know if you live in a battleground state or are willing to relocate to a battleground state for Election Day.

We know that restrictive laws have been passed in certain states. We know that there are people with disabilities who want to vote. Your volunteering may help make the difference for their vote and that in itself is very rewarding.  The stakes could not be higher.  And you have the opportunity to help make the difference in reelecting one of the most thoughtful, inspiring, and accomplished Presidents in a generation.

If you're in, please respond at your earliest convenience with the information requested above.  I look forward to hearing from you.

As a side note, I am not sure if candidate Romni is conducting a similar effort, but if anyone knows, feel free to post that as well. This is a bipartisan listserv.

Deepa
