Take Action on Voter Registration

#####

October 14, 2004

TAKE ACTION!

Seacoast NOW makes it easy for you to take action, to help voters register, and to vote for change on November 2, 2004!

1. Visit the NH Seacoast NOW web site, www.SeacoastNOW.org
2. Download the 2004 Election Brochure.
3. Print it, copy it, fold it, distribute it!

All you need to do is take this brochure that contains information on registration and voting in New Hampshire, and distribute them in areas where you believe unregistered NH citizens or under-motivated NH voters might pick them up and realize how critical their vote is in November.

We even provide a short list of possible locations, to get your thought process flowing.

YOUR VOTE - WHY IT MATTERS

In the last three presidential elections, little more than half of the voting-age population made it to the polls.

In the last three presidential elections, little more than half of the voting-age population made it to the polls.

Each time, almost 100 million people who were eligible to vote stayed home!

How can we say we have a representative government when half of us do not even vote?

How can we ensure that our needs and concerns are on the minds of our elected leaders if we don't tell them with our voices and our votes?

We must speak out and register ourselves, our friends, our family, our neighbors and our community to vote. It's a simple task with big results, so speak up and act NOW.

10 Reasons to VOTE

The Bush Administration & right-wing, anti-women political leaders have:

  • Escalated gender discrimination & pay equity
  • Rolled back women's educational opportunity gains
  • Severely restricted health care programs
  • Promised to undermine Social Security, sending retired workers into poverty
  • Placed women & children at risk by widening gap between rich & poor
  • Cut funds for the Violence Against Women Act & mishandled incidents of sexual violence against military women
  • Nominated & appointed numerous regressive, anti-women federal judges
  • Closed offices & agencies that focused on women's issues
  • Pushed a discriminatory constitutional amendment banning marriage equality
  • Restricted reproductive rights & access to contraception & health care for women.
