Rock the Vote and Working Assets Wireless Begin Voter Reg. Campaign

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Notice the new link at the top of my sidebar? “Register to Vote”

Working Assets Wireless, from whom I get my cell phone service, is one of a long list of partners with RockTheVote.com. There must be hundreds of online partners, a goodly number of non-profit partners, corporate partners, and creative partners.

I’m glad there is a RockTheVote campaign. Unfortunately, this country’s citizenry has had a poor record on getting out the vote. The 2004 Presidential election had a 55.3% voter turnout. The 1960 election, 63.1% - the highest turnout in the last 47 years.

In an effort to increase the voter turnout, to support people of all ages to exercise their right to vote, I’ve included this very cool and righteous online voter registration applet on my blog. It doesn’t matter what state you are from, although it DOES matter what country you are from. U.S. Citizens only please.

So, be cool and vote in your state’s primary election and the national election. State primaries begin Jan 14, 2008 with Iowa.
