Election Integrity Project® California (EIPCa) 是一个由美国公民志愿者组成的无党派团体，旨在通过保护我们的自由和方式的投票过程的完整性来履行我们积极参与我们州/国家治理的责任。 EIPCa 志愿者通过在政府部门中保持积极作用来保护我们的共和国，一个民有政府，民有政府，民享政府，赋予公民我们最基本的权利——通过公平和诚实的选举选择我们的代表的权利。

最近（2022年11月21日）加州第九巡回法院裁定：选举诚信项目®加利福尼亚州有资格挑战加利福尼亚州的选举法律、法规和程序。法庭认为：选举诚信项目®加利福尼亚州 (EIPCa) 以及最近和未来的国会候选人有权挑战加州选举法律、法规、政策和程序的合宪性，因为它们涉嫌 削弱或消除选举过程中的诚信。尽管宪法赋予州立法者通过法律来管理选举和处理选票的权力，但 EIPCa 声称他们没有全权通过降低合法选票价值的法律的权力。

该决定将诉讼发回下级法院取证，这是诉讼的下一阶段。

在过去十年中，加利福尼亚州通过的法律、行政命令和法规导致了大量违规行为，在 2020 年大选中达到顶峰，当时纽森州长授权向选民名册上的所有“活跃”登记人邮寄选票，前国务卿亚历克斯帕迪拉废除了签名验证要求。 EIPCa 收到了 700 多份受过 EIPCa 培训的观察员签署的宣誓书，如果作伪证将受到处罚，这些观察员一直报告说选举工作人员没有充分核实签名，在某些情况下，还对没有签名的选票进行清点。

由于州立法机关和亚历克斯帕迪拉都不规定统一和安全的投票和计票程序，因此各县采用的投票程序参差不齐。 EIPCa 及其共同原告对纽森州长、司法部长、国务卿和 13 个县登记官提起了诉讼。

“这起诉讼具有里程碑意义，因为它是第一次挑战加州选举法和程序的合宪性，而我们是第一个取得诉讼资格的人，”为信仰与自由倡导者工作的首席律师玛丽亚·贡代罗 (Mariah Gondeiro) 说。 “如果我们赢了，加州将被要求执行安全和统一的投票和计票程序。”

“十多年来，选举诚信项目®California EIPCa 主席琳达·潘恩 (Linda Paine) 说：“我们研究并记录了加州选举过程的各个方面，并确定了这些法律如何将选举日变成了充满易于操纵程序的 60 天选举季。” “我们现在看到全国各州的加州风格法律造成了同样的问题，这些问题多年来在加州由接受过 EIPCa 培训的观察员已经目睹和记录过。”

Election Integrity Project®California, Inc. (“EIPCa”) 是一家加州501C3非营利性公益公司，致力于通过教育捍卫自己的利益、研究和倡导美国公民根据联邦和州法律充分参与选举过程的公民权利。

The Election Integrity Project® California (EIPCa) is a nonpartisan group of U.S. citizen volunteers seeking to fulfill our duty to actively participate in the governing of our state/country by helping to ensure the integrity of the voting process that protects our freedoms and way of life. EIPCa volunteers seek to protect our Republic, a government of, by, and for the people by maintaining an active role in that part of government which empowers citizens with our most fundamental right ~ the right to choose our representatives by fair and honest elections.

11/21/2022, Santa Clarita, California – The Ninth Circuit has ruled that Election Integrity Project®California (EIPCa) and recent and future congressional candidates have standing to challenge the Constitutionality of California’s election laws, regulations, policies and procedures that have weakened or removed integrity from the election process. Though the Constitution gives authority to state legislators to pass laws to manage elections and process ballots, EIPCa asserts they do not have carte blanche authority to pass laws that diminish the value of the lawfully cast ballots.

The decision remanded the lawsuit to the lower court for discovery, which is the next phase of the litigation.

Over the last decade California has passed laws, orders and regulations that have led to massive irregularities, culminating in the 2020 election, when Governor Newsom authorized mailing a ballot to all “active” registrants on the voter rolls and former Secretary of State Alex Padilla gutted signature verification requirements. EIPCa received over 700 affidavits signed under penalty of perjury from EIPCa-trained observers who consistently reported election workers not adequately verifying signatures and, in some cases, counting ballots without signatures.

Because neither the state legislature nor Alex Padilla required uniform and secure vote casting and counting procedures, uneven procedures were applied across counties. EIPCa and its co-plaintiffs filed this lawsuit against Governor Newsom, the Attorney General, the Secretary of State, and thirteen country registrars.

“This lawsuit is monumental because it is the first to challenge the constitutionality of California’s election laws and procedures, and we are the first to get past standing,” says Mariah Gondeiro, the lead attorney who works for Advocates for Faith and Freedom. “If we win, California will be required to enforce secure and uniform vote casting and vote counting procedures.”

“For over a decade, Election Integrity Project®California has researched and documented every aspect of California’s election process and identified how these laws transformed an Election Day into a 60-day election season fraught with easy to manipulate procedures,” says Linda Paine, President of EIPCa. “We are now seeing California Style laws in states across the country creating the same problems that have been witnessed and documented by EIPCa-trained observers in California for years.”

活动细节：所有从现在开始给 SFFA的捐款，SVCAF都提供1:1配捐 (上限 2万美元）。 配捐请求请于 三月一日以前 发到 info@svcaf.org ，请附上 SFFA捐款收据。

备注：SVCA 基金会和哈佛官司的历史渊源:

1. 2014年，反对加州立法院的SCA5（肤色法案）的积极义工创办成立SVCA基金会。 该法案试图推翻加州宪法中的不得按肤色搞特殊照顾的平权条款 （prop. 209），在教育中引入肤色特权。

2. 2015 和2018年SVCA基金会分别两次在湾区请SFFA负责人 Blum 先生代表原告做论坛主题发言，并组织讨论。同时也招收受害学生，吸引SFFA正式会员。听众反映强烈。

3. 2018年底，SVCA基金会派代表团(一行7人)去波士顿参与声援 SFFA状告哈佛的庭审活动，基金会主席在发起大会上发表演讲。

4. 2021年初，应 SFFA要求，SVCA基金会联合一家犹太组织向最高法院提请了正式“法庭之友”文件，支持哈佛官司上诉到最高法院。这份法律文件从哈佛在上世纪20年代歧视犹太人证据出发，发现目前哈佛歧视亚裔的手法和说辞和100年以前如出一辙。这份文件在最高法院决定接受本案件起到积极作用。

我们提交给最高法院的文件的全文链接： /files/archive-20210331104529484_amicus-brief.pdf

6. 历年来，SVCA 基金会直接支持SFFA状告哈佛的官司，捐款+支付律师费总计已经超过7万美元（不包含这次配捐2万的预算）。Blum先生盛赞SVCA基金会为支持SFFA状告哈佛歧视官司的主要组织之一。

4/10/2020

After a few days of preparation, we are finally ready to distribute the free disposable masks for the senior members of the community, at three Safeway stores.

Important: We really do not want any of our senior members to go shopping just because of the masks. If you are above age of 65, and you need a mask, you can sign this form and send it to me with your home address, we will try to drop off. The liability form can be downloaded here。

Time: Tuesday 4/7 8:00am-9:00am (the senior shopping hours)

Locations: Site1: 20620 W Homestead Rd, Cupertino, CA 95014 Site2: 639 S Bernardo Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94087 Site3: 85 E El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA 94087

Each needing senior family can pick up one bag (20pcs) of masks, and we have 1000 disposable masks for each sites.

Steps for picking up:

1. Sign the liability release sheet with the wipe wrapped pen, and after signing, wipe your hand again, and then throw the wipes to the garbage bin provided.
2. Pick up one bag (20pcs) for your family (one bag per family only).

Please keep the social distance of 6-feet with others.

We picked these sites because they are geographically distributed the most, and this hour because we want to give masks to our seniors who HAVE to go out shopping (meaning if you can shop online, do not come. Please do not go shopping at these sites just because of these masks)

Please make sure to only pick up these masks if you really need them, so we can help as many people as possible.

Please also make sure to sign the liability sheet on the table so our volunteers can focus on their good work.

We will avoid conversations at all, please ignore our booth if you don’t think you need the masks.

Let’s work together to flat the curve!

This activity is sponsored by Project #StrongerTogether, and all the masks were purchased new and unopened by volunteers’ money.

**2. Verifiable Title and Contacts **

3.Receipt 4.Pictures with donated PPE

In order to qualify for donations from SVCAF, we require a legal disclaimer to be provided before hand, otherwise, we are afraid that we can’t help.

Please download the template here.

Please Sign and send the disclaimer via your **hospital or clinic’s office email **with your title and contacts (If it’s before the donation and you are not sure about the quantity of donated PPE, please fill in the space of Type x Quantity as ‘See receipt’), so that we can verify your identity.

Due to limited resources and the fluid China/US custom situation, things are changing very fast and many medical personnel are rushing in with requests. We advise you to get the disclaimer to us ASAP or else your organization might miss out.

We also give priority to those who may have direct contact with CoVid 19 patients or suspects.

Emails should be sent to volunteers at SVCAF: projectstronger2020@gmail.com

Upon receiving the donated gifts, we will also need you to send the three of us an receipt indicating how many and what kind of PPEs are received on what date. Signed by recipient.

In addition, please take a picture of the donated PPEs with yourself and if possible your coworkers, so that we can report and document our contributions to be accountable to our donors.

The pictures you provide us will also be used by us for publicity.

A tweet or FB post with the hashtag #StrongerTogether will be greatly appreciated, as we want to more people to get involved in this effort!

To make donation to support our continuous effort, please refer to: **/pages/strongertogether/ **

And we **do not **re-sell any of our PPEs, please do not ask.

Thanks!

Note: Due to the limit of our resources (funding, man power, supply, logistics etc.) , we can only try to help part of the hospitals and essential businesses in (mainly north) California state. If you are care giver out side of California, please try to contact local groups for help. Thank you for your understanding.

One can be nervous about the numbers of confirmed patient all day long, or one can step up and do something to help.

What can a group of people out of Sunnyvale do about this COVID-19 madness?

They can form a social media group worrying about the situation all day long, or they can come up with some plan and see it through to help.

And that’s what we do: step up to help the community!

The Map Reduce Way to Tackle Uncertainty

Originally, we had 18 volunteers, trying to source face masks to donate to local hospitals, city governments, public service agencies and community. All of us were the first timers regarding this import/export workflow, there are a lot of uncertainties we were faced with:

CDC recommendations are changing everyday, which masks are accepted by the hospitals and city?

How do we guarantee the quality of the masks purchased?

How do we pay the vendors?

How do we make sure the shipments can make through two customs and arrive at Sunnyvale?

How are we going to distribute them to the places that are in urgent needs of these masks?

How do we verify that the donees are really who they claim to be?

All of these questions were tangled together so much that we could hardly make any decision. After two days hectic discussion, we finally found a engineering solution:

Let’s do it a map-reduce way! (now you know that I am a software engineer)

Under the same mission, each of us go talk to different vendors, and pay them if enough confidence has been built up; monitor the shipment, and then check the quality and make the donation as soon as it’s available.

By doing this, we can still share information with each other, but we delegate the responsibility to each volunteer, and diluted the risk: If one purchase fails in any way, all we lose is that payment, not all. And if it’s small amount of shipment, it’s more likely to be allowed in two customs, even in this era of tension-love-flip-around.

And it worked!

Within five days, we made the first donation of 800 surgical masks to Sunnyvale DPS! And our dear officers didn’t keep them for themselves, they then donated to the local senior centers in the city! Respect!

Bigger Purchased Donation

When Sunnyvale Mayor Larry Klein told me that in some local hospitals, “they will soon be tying scarves around peoples faces instead of having masks”, my heart was broken. and immediately made an order of 8000 masks, among them are some expensive N95 respirators.

This time the decision was quick, I asked myself, what is your choice:

The money put into risk, or the lives are already in the risk?

I chose the lives, clearly.

After the order, I have been refreshing the UPS shipment update pages everyday, praying that everything goes through. At some point, when people told me that the USA custom may forfeit the masks because it’s in great need in New York state. My first reaction was, that would still be great because I know it’s going to be put into use to protect more people!

Yesterday, it finally arrived at my door in 5 packages!

Immediately, I checked the quality with water, fire and static, to make sure that it’s water proof, the middle layer is high quality cloth material, and enough sticky power to prevent droplets spreading out.

And they all passed the tests!

Within 30 minutes, the first donation was made to our Sunnyvale Post Office via pickup!

The same afternoon, we made another one to Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center.

Looking at the picture above, don’t you think that our doctors and staff at the front of the battlefield against the COVID-19 virus should be wearing masks? But they simply could not because there is no masks to wear! I cannot tell you how saddened I was, specially when I saw their smiling face, it made me more sad…

Kudos to our doctors and nurses, you are the true heroes!

When you are there fighting for us, we will make sure to cover your back!!!

Later, after a full day’s work, Dr. Enoch Choi picked up another 900 masks on behalf of his hospital. He is the new Medical Director of at Valley Health Center Urgent Care (San Jose), and I spent 3 days trying to verify his identity, to make sure he was the one who are leading the doctors at “the county clinic who is the only outpatient (non-admitted to hospital) place to screen for Covid-19”. Dr. Choi later told me that I was the first donor who checked so rigorously before the donation. Sorry Dr. Choi, I just had to make sure these masks be used by people who really need them, and there won’t be a second time of such scrutiny!

Another reason for the identity check was to make sure that these masks, after going through all these days of waiting and praying, should not be handed to the hoarders who want to make money out of it. So I had to be really careful when make the first donation to the hospitals.

What is Next?

More donations will be made to Sunnyvale City and DPS, and a good part of these masks will also be made available for seniors who really need these masks.

After the first donation, medias found me via Sunnyvale DPS, and I did some interviews with two of them (KTVU interview, KTSF Channel 26 interview). It’s a small thing, but if more people could be inspired to do the same thing for the community, why not?

Per the request of a lot of friends who want to be part of this effort, I reached out to Silicon Valley Chinese Association Foundation (SVCAF) for the help to set up a donation channel so we can do more!

Another big order will be made today or tomorrow, thanks to the surport of SVCAF. They not only helped to setup a donation channel so more people can be part of this effort, but also offered $5,000 for sooner purchases!

Thank you SVCAF!

Project #StrongerTogether

Today, after everything was proven to be working, I proudly kick off the Project #StrongerTogether, it’s community helping community, and it’s coming together, covering each other’s back so we can win this battle.

It was started from Sunnyvale, but there is no reason that it should stay in just Sunnyvale. We can definitely do more!

For people who want to take part of this efforts, you can either reach out to me for volunteer opportunities or chip in some amount of monetary donations via SVCAF (/pages/strongertogether/). When you do donate, please make sure that the amount should have a change of $0.19, so that it can be accounted to Project #StrongerTogether; and if you have corporation matching, please donate directly at SVCAF link, then ask for matching from your company.

Because everyday counts, and the sooner we can make the next donation purchase, the safer our community will be.

We may be keeping our social distances nowadays, but we are more united together than ever!

And we will win this battle together and strong!

最近几周，我们亲眼目睹了新型冠状病毒转移攻击目标，从中国转向全世界。从各种媒体报道我们得知一些医疗防卫物资PPE （Personal Protective Equipment）的短缺让在病毒面前裸奔的医疗工作者受到生命的威胁。短缺的物资包括医用口罩，防护衣等，短缺现象在全国大范围内出现。大难当头人性尽显，隔离身体隔离不了大爱。积极响应很多医疗机构发出对社会的呼吁，各个组织/私人发起的口罩募捐活动进行得如火如荼，也得到了受捐医疗机构的正面反馈。为我们的新家园尽自己的一份绵薄之力， 这时不回馈社区，更待何时？

我们以下几个组织讨论了一下，决定立即携手发起口罩募捐活动：

• Herbert Chiu, DDS, Health Chair, Citizens for Better Community (CBC)
• Chunchi Ma, President, Huaren Rotary Club
• Jenny Zhao, President, Bay Area Homeowners Network(BAHN)
• Crystal Lu, President, Silicon Valley Chinese Association Foundation (SVCAF)

目标是未来10天-两周内，募集2万美元的善款，用来购买5-10万只医用口罩。货源是广州的一家厂商，有FDA认证，是援美公益活动提供最低的价格（1.5人民币/只左右)。目 前 运 输通 关 等 准 备工 作 都 在平行进行中， 速度是关键。如果Local医院派送不完，还有大量的机构可以赠送，包括老人中心，警察局，需要口罩的服务性行业人员，及各市府工作人员等。我们现在可以安全的在大后方家里工作，应该感恩那些没得选择而勇敢战斗在第一线的医护人员。

祈福加州，天佑美国！谢谢大家的不懈支持！
