Morning News Meet Vote for Change Volunteer Natasha
May 10

Today is the official kickoff of Vote for Change, an unprecedented 50-state voter registration and mobilization drive. In over 100 cities across America, from Anchorage, Alaska to Miami, Florida, grassroots supporters will hit the streets to register voters. With events planned in every single state, no matter where you live, you can find an event near you.

As Democratic Governor Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas explained,"This could change the face of American politics for decades to come."

Our efforts across the country have already yielded incredible results. According to a recent Associated Press survey, over 3.5 million people registered to vote in the first three months of 2008. Now we’re expanding our approach to every single state, as part of a sustained, six-month effort that could reshape the electoral map.

Most events will begin in the late morning or early afternoon, and will run approximately four hours. No prior experience is necessary, and materials and training will be provided at each location.

There is no better way to start your weekend, and no more important work to be done right now than bringing more voters, and more voices, into the political process. Click on a state below to find an event near you:

    Why can’t veterans have voter registration drives?

    VA’s voter registration ban raises questions
    By William R. Levesque, St. Petersburg (FL) Times Staff Writer

    Just this week, the VA imposed a policy prohibiting all voter registration drives on its property by anyone, partisan or not, a rule that critics say may violate the constitutional rights of veterans.
