Voter Registration Lives 365/24/7

Posted by Mary Mancini on November 13, 2006 under Uncategorized |

Why wait until 2 months before an election to begin registering voters? Why not start now? That’s the question some local activists are asking as they spearhead a voter registration drive that will continue even though the 2006 election has passed. Building the movement begins with copying this paragraph and leaving it on certain cars you may see in a parking lot:

We noticed your Harold Ford Jr bumper sticker and we wanted to invite you to join us in a new endeavor. The way we see it, voters came within 3 points (50,256 votes to be exact) from making Tennessee a BLUE state. So, we are initiating a new grassroots movement to register and empower voters for the 2008 election. If you would like to join us in this adventure, please email us at TNbluein08@gmail.com and we will send you more information on what YOU can do to help. If we work together and mobilize our base – we WILL win in 2008 and beyond!

I’m not sure that electing Harold Ford, Jr. would have made Tennessee a “blue state” (more like a more vivid purple) but I certainly like where this is going. All voter registration, all the time!
