(Bridge tolls are going up to $3 for everyone else on 7/1.)

I'm going to volunteer at the SF Food Bank tonight. Want to join me?

Some states are planning to use machines that will not allow voters to verify their choices. This means that any flaws in the machine or software will never be caught -- and no recount will be possible.

And the head of the largest e-voting machine company -- who is a major contributor to George Bush and has promised to deliver Ohio to him -- asks that we just trust him. Today we call on Congress and the states to require any electronic voting machine used in this election to produce a paper trail -- one that allows voters to verify their choices and officials to conduct recounts.

Please join me by signing this call for accountability

You know it's going to be one of those days when you put on your shoes and your toes feel trapped. Go back to bed.
