On the environment:

In the period from 1999-2002, Lynn was an environmental news reporter for Drexel University TV (DUTV) in Philadelphia, hosted her own radio talk show on WDVR in New Jersey, and was a weekly commentator for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) radio program Five Alive.  Lynn was also the founder of Zero Waste America, an Internet-based environmental research organization. Her eco-articles have been featured in print, online publications, and the books, Pollution: Opposing Viewpoints and Softly On This Earth.  Lynn was in a series of interviews on environment and health issues on WebMD.  Her 1998 report, State of the Nation’s Waste, was reported throughout the U.S. and internationally. Lynn was the Solid Waste Chair for the Sierra Club in Pa and appointed to the PA State Solid Waste Advisory Committee.

On voting:

For complete transparency in voting, Lynn supports one standard for both political representatives and voters, that means "open voting", no secret ballots. As that is unlikely to gain public support any time soon, Lynn supports paper ballots and public hand counts at the polls on election day (see: Protocol For Honest Elections - America’s Nontransparent Voting System Is ‘De Facto’ Fraud) In a 2005 article, Plan B: Organize Parallel Elections & Signed Ballots, Lynn called on citizens to organize parallel elections in response to the total lack of transparency in U.S. elections. In several states, activists did just that.  Lynn's numerous articles on the right to vote can be found at http://www.thelandesreport.com/VotingSecurity.htm. Her work has been featured in the books, Hacked and BlackBoxVoting.  Lynn was a guest speaker at events across the country, and also appears in several documentaries including: Got DemocracyThe Right To CountStealing America, and her own, Voting 101 and The Fix Is In
