"Invisible Ballots" is generally considered the best video available on
touch screen machines and the controversy surrounding their use and
accuracy. Executive producer Edward G. Griffin is pursuing a plan to get
"Invisible Ballots" into Netflix's inventory.
Netflix has some 3 million members and its management and members are more
progressive than its chief rival, Blockbuster. Netflix is rated 72% blue by
buyblue.org, a website that rates companies based on their political
contributions. They have a good and comprehensive political documentary
section and this video is right up their alley.
Since the mainstream media will continue to ignore this issue, getting
"Invisible Ballots" onto Netflix will help a lot in getting the word out.
Over time, it could play a substantial part in creating another wave of
touch screen activists.

SAMPLE LETTER
Dear Netflix:
Title request: Invisible Ballots
I want to strongly encourage Netflix to add "Invisible Ballots" to your
inventory. This video IS listed in the Internet Movie Database.
Invisible Ballots is a 90-minute documentary (with a shorter, 50-minute version included) on touch screen voting
machines and the controversy that surrounds their use and accuracy. It
features interviews with top computer scientists and touch screen activists.
"Invisible Ballots" is universally considered the best video available on the
subject at present.
This is exactly the kind of unique subject video that Netflix is very good
at carrying. And it would help you maintain and increase your upper hand
over Blockbuster in my opinion.
Sincerely, Name, Address, Phone, Email
