An important documentary film, Stealing America: Vote By Vote is making its Philadelphia area premiere this Friday at the Ritz Bourse in Center City . Plan to see it.

STEALING AMERICA : Vote by Vote brings together behind-the-scenes perspectives from the U.S. presidential election of 2004 – plus startling stories from key races in 1996, 2000, 2002 and 2006. Unbiased and nonpartisan, the film sheds light on a decade of vote counts that don't match votes cast – uncounted ballots, vote switching, under-votes and many other examples of election totals that warrant serious investigation.

See this powerful nonpartisan film (look for a review in The Inquirer and other papers) and participate in a forum afterward with experts and activists. This is an opportunity to not only learn more about the problems of American elections but join with others in the greater Philadelphia area to discuss actions that citizens can take to protect the vote on November 4.

Show times start Friday, Aug. 22 and go through Thursday, August 28 at 2:40 pm and 7:30 pm.

Experts interviewed in the film include:

:• Bob Hagan – Ohio State Senator and first-hand witness to on-screen vote switching.

• Paul Craig Roberts -- Economist and former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Reagan and sometimes called the

“Father of Reaganomics.” He is a former editor and columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Business Week and Scripps

Howard News Service, and is at present a nationally syndicated columnist for Creators Syndicate.

• Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. – Activist, author, environmental lawyer and co-host of Ring of Fire on the Air America Radio

network.

• Charles Lewis – Investigative journalist and former 60 Minutes producer. Founder, Center for Public Integrity.

• Bruce O' Dell and Chuck Herrin – Fortune 100 company computer security analysts.

• Greg Palast – BBC investigative journalist whose reportage on the issue made the front page in U.K. and Europe , but was

• Dr. Avi Rubin – Director of the Information Security Institute at Johns Hopkins University .

• Ion Sancho – Leon County Supervisor of Elections. Appointed by the Florida Supreme Court to count the votes

in the disputed 2000 presidential election, Sancho blazed a trail in proving that it is possible to "hack" into voting

machines and change the totals.

• John Zogby – International polling authority.
