OHIO DUers... Put Your TIME Where Your Mouth is!! HUGE Voter Reg Event!

[VolcanoJen]

From MoveOn.org. For my money, this is the most important thing we can do as Ohio voters. We live in the battleground, and it's time to help our fellow citizens understand what they can do to help facilitate change.

Please sign up for this huge Ohio Voter Registration Drive. Just a few hours of your time this Sunday, May 2, and a few more hours on the big day, next Saturday, May 8. It'll be a blast, and you'll have the pleasure of meeting like-minded Buckeyes.

What will you do to help ensure that our voices are heard? Please sign up... link at the bottom of this text.

Thanks, Buckeyes!

On May 8th, hundreds of grassroots groups and tens of thousands of us will join forces in the biggest one-day voter mobilization effort in American history. Together, we will contact over 1 million voters, and register over 250,000 folks to vote. We’ll also prove to Republicans and the media that while President Bush may have more money, we have the people-power to win.

This effort builds on the more than 7 million hours MoveOn members pledged and our "50 for the Future" fundraising campaign. But to pull this off, we'll need your help.

In your area we'll kick off our effort this Sunday, May 2, at 7 pm, with a community meeting to talk about ideas for spreading our message this year. If you’ve been looking for something you can do to help with the election, we hope you'll come then. Sign up now:

You'll meet other MoveOn members, hear about our plans for the day of action and for this year, and share your own ideas about how to turn people out to vote. Then, on Saturday, May 8, we'll spend the day reaching out to voters. We'll have a brief kickoff event where you'll hear from progressive champions, and then we'll head out to do voter registration for a couple hours.

For too long, campaigns and political parties have simply sent voters a few brochures in the weeks before the election.

This year is different. An unprecedented coalition of like-minded groups, including Sierra Club, Emily's List, and the AFL-CIO, has started months ahead of time. Rather than relying on direct mail, we’ll be conducting a genuine dialogue with voters about issues like better jobs, affordable health care, a clean environment, and safeguarding our civil liberties.

But the success of that effort will depend on how many of us can pitch in. Can you help? Sign up now at:

We look forward to seeing you there.
