Voter Education
1.
Educate
yourself.
The only way to find your own truth is to seek it. Look past
the TV news and "embedded" reporters to find opposing views.
Then decide for yourself.
2.
Talk to
your friends and family about the real issues in this election.
These
last seven years have been good to a few people and REALLY bad for A
LOT of people. The great strides made in education, healthcare,
civil rights, the environment and equal rights have turned back 20-30
years. Call a friend, catch-up on your lives, encourage them to
register. Then call them again and make sure they plan on
voting.
3.
Register
and Vote -- Early.
Please vote. No really, just vote.
The 2000 election was decided based on 537 votes! There were more
people in my high school class. Do I want to leave my future in
the hands of my high school? No way. So, please vote; it
counts. Host a pre-election show: Cook a big pot of spaghetti, invite your
friends and family,
make voter
registration cards their admission tickets. If you think it might be hard to get to the polls,
vote by
absentee ballot
--
convenient, not messy, private, everything done through the mail.
