www.NoVoterLeftBehind.net Launched With Help of RFK, Jr. to Oppose Republican Attempts to Steal 2008 Election

NoVoterLeftBehind.net is a project of Democrats for America's Future (DAF) http://www.americasdemocrats.org. DAF is mobilizing the NoVoterLeftBehind.net project to monitor voter registration and the actual vote on Election Day in 2008. The campaign will shine a public spotlight on every last irregularity. Democrats for America's Future is urging every Democratic candidate to pledge not to concede a single race until every last vote is counted.

In his appeal to Democrats, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. writes: "No more 2000s and 2004s! ... The Republican Party mounted a coordinated, criminal campaign to steal the 2004 Presidential election -- and it worked. Now, as another election approaches, you and I need to stand together to make absolutely certain it doesn't happen again ... We need your support to raise the funds now to make sure that 'no voter is left behind' on Election Day!"

FormerOregon Governor and Secretary of State Barbara Roberts said: "Today, Democrats for America's Future is launching its nationwide NoVoterLeftBehind.net project that will monitor voting on Election Day in 2008. The squad will shine a public spotlight on every last irregularity. Democrats for America's Future will urge every Democratic candidate not to concede a single race until every last vote is counted. And from beginning to end -- from the voter registration process to Election Day challenges and beyond -- DAF will fight every last fight to the very end, insisting that every American is guaranteed a democracy's most sacred right: their vote."

DAF Executive Director Jennifer Petty said: "Here's the challenge: We have every reason to believe the Republicans are, at this moment, preparing a 2008 vote-suppression effort that will rival, or even exceed, the dirty tricks they pulled in 2004."

The NoVoterLeftBehind.net Web site shows interested Democrats how to donate to support the effort, where to learn more about how Republicans steal elections and also ways to volunteer before and on Election Day 2008.

Elected officials are encouraged to go to http://www.NoVoterLeftBehind.net to sign the following: "... I pledge that I will make sure that every vote is counted and that I will contest any evidence of theft or other voter suppression ..." Those candidates signing the pledge will be listed on the new Web site.
