Friday, August 23, 2013 This is a note from a grassroots rally organizer. We hope you will pass it along with your own note! Dear Friends, Did you ever think that right here in Massachusetts we’d have to wage a voting rights battle? Cape and Islands voters have put Dan Wolf in the State Senate not once, but twice. After almost 3 years of his unblemished service, the Massachusetts Ethics Commission has suddenly found Dan out of compliance. And the Commission “solution” is not only nonsensical, it is draconian. It is highly likely that next Thursday, August 29th Dan will be forced to resign from the Senate. That means the Ethics Commission will have successfully taken OUR ballots and thrown them out. Come rally to support reform of this flawed system and to seek justice for Dan. BUSLOADS OF FOLKS WILL BE HEADING FROM THE CAPE TO BEACON HILL ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 29TH at 9:30AM. WE’LL RALLY ON THE STATE HOUSE STEPS AT NOON. THEN WE’LL HEAD OVER TO THE ETHICS COMMISSION. IT IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! 1. You can join the bus group by reservation. First come, first served. Donations for bus fare will be appreciated but are certainly not required. 2. If you want to drive, please try to carpool. 3. Bring your own signs—this is really just us plain folks working it out! 4. Bring some water and a snack. Make no bones about it….we need numbers. Let us know you’re coming. If you need a ride, let us know in time to help you get one. At this writing the best way to reserve a bus slot or ask a question is to email sutruitt@msn or phone 774-327-7277. For a Martha’s Vineyard contact you can email Ewell Hopkins ewellhopkins@mac or phone 508.560.2683 We’ll have more contact folks in the next few days and pass them along. This is not how I planned to spend the last days of summer---but if we do it together we can make a difference! Susan Truitt Volunteer, Rally Organizer
