I'm hoping that this post registers...

October 6 is the last day to register to vote in the 2008 Presidential Election. This critical date is just 1 week away, so now is the time to make sure that you and everyone that you know is registered to vote. In many states early voting is available, and in every state you can vote absentee. If you have any questions about how to register or where to vote I am absolutely willing to help you figure it out, so please don't hesitate to ask.


To me, this is a matter of encouraging everyone to exercise this meaningful right that we have as American citizens. It is not a matter of trying to get only those who are going to vote for my candidate of choice out to the polls. One of my favorite parts about this past primary season was that voter turnout records were being broken across the nation. No matter what happens on November 4, we are going to have a historical election. Wouldn't it be great if we also accomplished the highest ever voter turnout in our nations' history?

To help you get ready for November 4th here are a few extremely helpful resources:
