This is your chance to suggest improvements. The Citizen's Tool Kit contains 20 modules, listed below. The concept is to begin actively managing your government by choosing JUST ONE THING -- and doing it. Choose one action – any action. This is YOUR tool kit to help you and your group take action and monitor upcoming elections, so contribute input as desired. You own your government, it's not the other way around. When you own something, it's up to you to manage it. The Citizen's Tool Kit was created through combined expertise with many of our nation's most effective and experienced citizens, to help you learn the management skills that work. When you take any action in this Citizen's Tool Kit, you will master skills to enact truly meaningful oversight over your government. Your children and grandchildren will inherit the government you give to them. If you don't manage your own government, who will?

GREAT JOB! This is very exciting and it is very well organized. A few ideas/questions come to mind. Are additional modules needed having to do with gathering relevant local information? These are some of the most frequent questions here, and answers are needed before the other steps can be taken. For example, --What voting machines are used in my local area? --How are absentee ballots processed/counted in my local area? --Who programs the election information and/or prints the ballots used in my local area? --What are the local laws/regulations/procedures for xxxxxxxxxx in my local area? Or, is the point to start with the general information already provided in the BBV materials, and then move from there (via mobilization module) to gathering this information? (If so, mention this list of free resource material upfront, and that it provides everything they need to get started, and that they don't need to know all the answers before they start.) I think one of the most frequent obstacles to people taking action is that they feel they don't have enough facts to qualify them to start. A person might not feel they "know enough" to host a house party about a topic if they don't feel they have "answers" for questions that might arise. People need to know they don't have to be an expert in order to take most of these actions. This potential obstacle needs to be dealt with by how this info is presented. If they don't need this info in order to give a house party (or any of the other actions), then indicate this up-front. Maybe any appropriate "prerequisites" (e.g. info required) should be indicted in parentheses below each module title. And/or will there be some kind of support network for someone to get information that they don't have, so that they can take their preferred step (e.g. give a house party or adopt a public official)? If so, these also needs to be made clear up-front. |

Thanks, Catherine. Very good input. Many of those points fit into the Hard Core Evidence modules -- I'll look through them to see how much is covered, and where we might add that information. As for the support network, we've recently received a grant to beef up the One-on-One with a little more staffing, but we needed to get the Tool Kit put together as a reference guide first.

Why is 9 'Check the chain of custody'? Why isn't it 'Watch the actual chain of custody'? What we're told happened often isn't what did happen. |

Folks, We are so gratified by your positive responses about the Tool Kit. This project has been a labor of love for us at BBV. A vision to create a tool that empowers and guides citizens through action to take back our elections. It's up to you, though, to bring that vision to life. One sure fire way to make certain that happens is that no matter what Module you choose to take action on (and we hope you'll gain confidence over time to try them all!), please remember to come back and share your experiences with us. The real value in this Tool Kit lies in our keeping it alive through ongoing interaction, support and sharing because everyone's experiences are different and invaluable in our journey to learn how to be better citizens and for ensuring and maintaining our rightful place as the managers of our own elections. The value of learning from each other and passing it on cannot be measured nor hindered, once it gets started. It's creates a life of its own that can live on indefinitely, if we work together. And together, we can make this a gift that keeps on giving. (Of course, after everyone reads the "Watch the Chain of Custody" Module, you will think we've gone insane for accepting such a process in our elections. There's just no way you can watch every instance of chain of custody and we've learned that elections have no place for trust. You'll be asking yourself, how did it get like this? Is there a better, simpler way? Yes, hand counted paper ballots at the precinct, would be a piece of cake in comparison!)

EVIDENCE = videotape, audiotape and photos. Come prepared. This time, focus on the COUNTING not just the voting.

As a longtime pollworker in RI who worked to get out the vote in Ohio in 2004, I urged disenfranshised Ohio voters to use provisional ballots. It later turned out that these weren't counted. I'll be working at the polls again in November - as well as in September for a crucial Senatoral seat primary. While I can bring up the issue of provisional-ballot counting at worker education meetings in Providence, what would you suggest pollworkers in all states do on election day? Get contested voters to use provisional ballots or -? |

Michelle, The Tool Kit will be in PDF format and each Module will stand alone, so you can download any one or all (I suggest the whole kit). At this time, the Tool Kit Modules are being finalized and as they are finished, posted one at a time, allowing for citizen review and input. There will be 20 Modules in all and we are now up to Module 12 with 13 on its way. Glad you like the Kit. Kathleen * * * * * "We're counting ALL the votes. Get over it."
