Subj:�� Press Release
To whom it may concern,
�
Our firm has been retained by military personnel stationed overseas who
requested voter ballots and did not receive them for the recent national

elections, for the purpose of protecting their "fundamental right" to
vote.
�
It is our position that denial of the right to vote constitutes not only
a
violation of one's fundamental constitutional rights, but taxation
without
representation.� Our clients can be made whole by flying their ballots
to
them immediately (injunctive relief) so that their voices may be heard,
or
pecuniary relief in the form of their not having to pay taxes for their
period of disenfranchisement from the voting process (four years).
�
Since this is going to be filed in Federal Court on Monday, 11-20-00, we
need
any other military members experiencing the same problem to contact us
immediately.��
�
We are doing this suit pro bono, unless we win, in which case we will
ask the
court for reasonable attorney fees.� However, the costs of litigating
this
case could be extremely high since it will likely go all the way to the
Supreme Court (copying costs, filing fees, research fees etc.,) so we
are
asking for donations to be sent to the firm made out to: Right to Vote
Class
Action.
�
We need all parties to this suit to fax us a notarized statement stating
they
applied for their ballot through the appropriate channel and did not
receive
the ballot in time to vote, or did not receive it at all.� If any
parties
saved a certified receipt showing when they requested their ballot it
will be
very helpful.� Also, if there are any military orderly room records
annotating service members requests for ballots we could use copies of
those,
or sworn affidavits from the appropriate supervisor.
�
For further information please contact Philip E. Jones at the above
location.

�
�
Sincerely,
�
