>
>Friends,
> There is a bill in the U.S. House that needs the help of third
> party supporters. The Voter Freedom Act of 2001, H.R.2268 , introduced by
> Rep. Ron Paul, would guarantee an individual's right to be placed on the
> ballot with party identification in Congressional elections. Currently,
> many states bar third party candidates from using any party label, unless
> their party has statewide ballot status. The bill would also establish a
> standard maximum petition requirement of 1000 signatures for a
> Congressional election.
> This bill is currently languishing in committee. That's why we,
> as a part of the Coalition for Free and Open Elections, are asking you to
> contact your Congressional representative and ask that she or he
> co-sponsor H.R.2268, the Voter Freedom Act of 2001. Thank you.
