Full citizen's tool kit is now available in a single document -
http://www.blackboxvoting.org/toolkit.pdf

Citizens are concerned. They want to know what they can do. Here's your chance
to get started on meaningful elections reform action that will make a real
difference in November.

The above link contains all 20 stand-alone modules in one consolidated document
(make sure you have Adobe Acrobat installed to read the pdf files. You can
download it for free at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html )

SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONS TO TAKE BACK YOUR ELECTIONS:
1. Pick any module.
2. Choose any action within the module.
3. Then just follow through on it.
4. Every action in the Tool Kit starts another pebble rolling down the hill.

NEW MODULE IS UP: Pertains to fundraising for local elections reform people:
ACTIONS FOR HIGH NET WORTH INDIVIDUALS

Candidates in three states have already notified us that they are already making
use of the module to help CANDIDATES protect their own elections (The toolkit
just went up a few days ago!):

THIS TOOL KIT IS A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE FOR CITIZENS

It's time for you to recognize your own power.
You don't need us.
You don't have to find someone to follow.
When you use these tools things will happen.

Pick any module. Pick a single action in it. See it to its completion. You've
just opened the door to an unexpected evolution of citizenship, the likes of
which have not been seen for a long, long time.

"Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the
