Dear JoAnne and Melissa,

I had a brainstorm tonight to send you the documentary film "Hacking Democracy", but it is too late to send you a hard copy so I am sending you nine links, below on youtube, so you can watch it.

As I write that, I will order and send you the DVD after the holiday.

I think it is one of the most important films ever made; it was nominated for the academy award and aired on HBO many times.

It shows the famous Harri Hursti hacks that Black Box Voting organized and produced of electronic voting machines

If you go to the Hacking Democracy site, http://www.hackingdemocracy.com/ you can read more about the film.

From the front of the DVD: "Disturbing stuff...it's not shocked-shocked you feel watching this: its' genuine shock." The New York Times

From the back of the DVD: HACKING DEMOCRACY takes a nonpartisan, clear-eyed look at the secrecy, cronyism, and incompetence of elections in present-day America as it captures a citizen's movement intent on taking back elections - and democracy itself. "It is hard to imagine...a documentary this season that is more important to the civic life of the nation - let along one that is so compelling and ultimately moving" (Baltimore Sun).

And again from the front of the DVD: "Raises enough questions about the security of the ballot box to perturb partisans of any stripe...unravels like a '24' episode." Boston Herald

The film is about 81 minutes long and although released March 27, 2007, it is even more true today.

Happy Watching. I wish I could send you some popcorn - organic and not GMO, of course.
