Interesting movie coming up in Peterborough:
(especially: interviews with non-voters ... they express their anger
and lack of faith in a corrupt and unresponsive system.

============================

Sunday, November 2, 4:30 pm, WILTON:
"Holler Back: (Not) Voting in An American Town"

If you have been concerned by the recent reports of
election chicanery and voter disenfranchisement, the area based
women's group, Women Making a Difference (WMD) will present an
opportunity to put your outrage and energy to work on election day to
help. With the aid of area Wilton Theater owner, Dennis Markaveritch,
the group will present a one-time showing of the winner of the 2008
Sunscreen Documentary at the Wilton Town Hall Theater.

The film explores why more people, especially young people, don't vote.
Revealing interviews with non-voters draw one in, as one after
another they express their anger and lack of faith in a corrupt and
unresponsive system.


"Holler Back" takes place during the
contentious 2004 presidential election and focuses on the entrenched
problems of our elections from twisted complexities of the electoral
college to easily hackable voting equipment. Filmmaker, Lulu
Fres'dat traveled from NYC to interview several area residents in NH,
and clips are included in the film.

Footage from the National Election Integrity Project and Democracy
for New Hampshire filming of the Wilton, NH 2004 hand count
for that election is also highlighted.

After the film, a representative from Election Defense Alliance,
Sally Castleman, will be on hand for a discussion, recruitment and
brief training of volunteers to participate on election day, Tuesday
November 4 in the project for Election Verification Exit Poll (EVEP)
with the Warren Poll.

One may also go to the websites:
www.electiondefensealliance.org
www.blackboxvoting.org,  and
www.democracyfornewhampshire.com
to learn how citizens can 'protect the count' with filming
procedures even after exit polling is finished on election night.
