VOTE FOR CHANGE an unprecedented 50-state voter registration and mobilization drive

OPEN TO ALL!

On May 10th, Barack Obama is launching Vote for Change, an unprecedented 50-state voter registration and mobilization drive. More than 100 events will be held across the country that day. Obama volunteers will register new voters as the start of a six-month voter registration drive.

We can change Washington if more Americans get involved, get registered and show up to vote on November 4th. If millions of new voters get involved, a powerful message will be sent to the special interests that dominate the old politics. This is an important time to find more people in your community to register to vote. To attend a May 10th Vote for Change launch event in your area, click on your state above.

Recent voter registration drives have registered more than 200,000 new Democrats in Pennsylvania, more than 165,000 new Democrats in North Carolina, and more than 150,000 new Democrats in Indiana. Those numbers just scratch the surface of what's possible.

PLEASE HELP GROW THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! Here's the event I will be working:


Columbus Vote for Change Rally
Saturday, May 10 @ 10 am
Obama for America Ohio Headquarters
193 East Rich Street, Columbus
614/224-8600

This is an unprecedented 50-state voter registration drive with over 100 events across the country and in all 50 states, and will serve as a kickoff to a 6 month voter registration drive. Come to a Rally at Obama for America Ohio Headquarters (Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman will speak), enjoy donut/bagels/grab-n-go food and then head out to assigned locations.

By registering voters we can help Democrats prevail at all levels of the ticket in November and make sure we can achieve the change we want to see in Washington. Showing up and registering voters will show America that Ohio is going to VOTE FOR CHANGE overwhelmingly in November and that Ohioans won't stand for a politics of cynicism any longer.


We are also looking for volunteers to phone bank to other volunteers to inform them of this event:

Weds May 7, Thursday May 8 or Friday May 9
10 am until 9 pm


Cross posted in GD-P but it sank like a rock-seems folks there are more interested in talk than action. :( I believe we must have huge margins in Nov to make sure the election can not be stolen!

2. mod mom: has this project thought about giving new registrations

some kind of instructional sheet on how to avoid being kicked off of rolls by HAVA database purges and 2)how to respond if challenged at the polls? Seems like it would be a good opportunity to do a little voter ed. :hi:
