Welcome to Dear Diebold

As it is painfully aware now that Diebold makes voting machines, you may or may not know that they also make ATM machines. Interestingly enough, many of Diebold's ATM machines give you the option to print a paper recipt.

Kinda makes you go hmmmm...right?

This blog is dedicated to show how you can show your displeasure with this disparity. You will need a pen, a digital camera, an ATM card, some tape and a Diebold ATM machine.

Go to your local Diebold ATM machine, make a transaction and get your paper recipt from the machine. Write a note to Diebold on the back of the recipt telling them about your concern that their voting machines do not have a paper trail. Tape this note to the ATM machine (preferably next to the Diebold logo on the machine), and take a picture. Once you have taken the picture, remove the note. After all, we're protestors, not vandals.

Send your pictures along with the name of the town or city in which the picture was taken to deardiebold@yahoo.com, and I'll post them to this blog.

Thanks for a great idea! I'll look around for a Diebold ATM in my area.

I just heard about this site during the Mike Malloy show on Air America Radio. Much luck to this effort!
