Sally Castleman, Co-Founder, National Chairperson
Sally Castleman has had close to 50 years working on political campaigns, both for candidates and for issues. Her work on the 2004 election, recruiting and training attorneys for election protection roles, led her to conclude immediately that the reported results were fraudulent. Her participation in the 2004 Ohio recount solidly confirmed this belief as she witnessed how Ohio's recount laws were flagrantly violated to falsify the recount.
Since then she has worked with a Boston-area group, Coalition against Election Fraud (CAEF), focusing her efforts on educating the general public, election officials, and decision-makers around the country about the prevailing conditions in our election system. Ms. Castleman played a vital role in the Election Assessment Hearing (EAH) (http://electionassessment.org [1]), held in Houston in June 005.
With two other colleague, Ms. Castleman organized two days of strategy meetings with election-reform leaders at the September, 2005 Portland Summit to Save Our Democracy. Some of the strategies ElectionDefenseAlliance.org will be implementing came out of those meetings.
In her professional life Ms. Castleman has several times conceptualized, designed, implemented and managed programs. She has also been a professional fundraiser. In her work on local political issues, she has often played the roles of publicist and strategist.
