Are You SURE You’re Registered to Vote???

From Barack Obama:

You’d be surprised by how many people you know who aren’t registered to vote.

Registration deadlines are coming up soon, and we need every single vote we can get to win this election.

Tell your friends, family, and neighbors to check out our new one-stop voter registration website.

VoteforChange.com makes it easier than ever to register. Instead of tracking down the right forms, all you need to do is answer a few basic questions and you’ll be ready to vote. You can also
confirm your existing registration, apply to vote absentee, and find your polling place.

If you don’t know your own registration status or you’d like to learn more, take a minute to visit the site right now. And if you have registered, visit the site to make sure that your registration is in order. You don’t want to wait until Election Day and find yourself turned away when you visit the polling place and learn that you won’t be allowed to cast a ballot. Make sure everything is in order now!

This race is too close and too important to stay home on Election Day or to give unsavory forces an opportunity to steal your vote.

If you take the time to register and vote — and make sure everyone you know is registered as well — we’ll be able to turn the tide of the past eight years.

It’s people just like you who will transform this nation. Register. Make sure that your registration is solid. And VOTE!
