VOTE 2012

Across the country there are efforts being made to bring new supporters into the campaign. It has been reported that volunteers in all 50 states are knocking on doors and registering new voters. The overarching goal for this campaign is to register voters in order to ensure: the reelection of President Barack Obama and that Democrats take back the United States House of Representatives.

This summer, important action is being taken to bring more people into the political process- thus making certain that every voter who wants to exercise their right is registered. There are three stages in the voter empowerment process: registration, education, and mobilization.

Take action that can and will change the future. Seize the opportunity to cast your vote. As was aptly stated by President Johnson when discussing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, “The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.”

Each election day, countless eligible voters deprive themselves of their voting right through complacency or apathy.  Don’t be among them—exercise your right to vote.

Get involved. Your vote can be decisive, stand up, speak out, be heard— vote!
