        Hello,   Many of you have heard me tell the story of how I used my
home equity to pay for the re-count of my write-in campaign against Richard
Pombo in 2004. That recount resulted in me winning the Democratic nomination
by ONE vote. Well, it has been nearly four weeks since the midterm elections
and we all have had a chance to rest, but there is still a race yet to be
decided that reminds me of the importance of one vote. And it's also an
unfortunate example of the importance of election integrity.  Democrat
Christine Jennings is locked in a tough battle to determine the next
representative of Florida's 13th Congressional district and she needs our
help making sure every vote counts. CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE NOW TO MAKE SURE
EVERY VOTE COUNTS?

p%3A%2F%2Fwww.actblue.com%2Fpage%2Frecount>  In Christine's home of Sarasota
County, election officials have maintained that an astounding 18,000 voters
simply did not vote in her Congressional race - - a 14% "undervote" that is
six times higher than the undervote rate in the rest of the district. You
don't need a Ph.D. in Math to know this is a statistical aberration, and
combined with numerous reports of voters who said they voted for Jennings
but didn't see this choice registered on their voting summary, makes it
clear that a new election or re- vote is the only solution. PLEASE HELP
CHRISTINE BY DONATING NOW!

p%3A%2F%2Fwww.actblue.com%2Fpage%2Frecount>  Jennings needs to pay for a
legal team, voting machine experts, and maintain a full staff while they
work to ensure that every vote is counted. They also must prepare to mount a
strong campaign if a judge orders a re-vote. These efforts will cost money,
an estimated $1,000,000. No winner has been declared yet, and at this point,
anything can happen. PLEASE HELP CHRISTINE MAKE SURE THAT EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
