An NPR article: Why New Swing State Of Virginia May Determine Presidency is a prime example of a state that NEEDS people to get involved.

20 million women DID NOT vote in 2008. This is baaaaaaaad! This MUST change in 2012.

If you have never volunteered before, it’s actually a fun and rewarding experience.

Often, a person hosts an event at their home. You sign up, RSVP and sometimes, bring party favors such as refreshments or a yummy snack. It is usually 3-4 hours on a Saturday or Sunday. The group of like-minded people, armed with cell phones are given a list of democrats to call and a simple speech is provided. As you call, you make notes by each person’s name and voila! You’ve done MORE THAN MOST! It’s very easy and fun.

I volunteered a few times in ’08. It was just as I explained. I had the opportunity to meet new people and as a result, made lasting friendships. I wish to reiterate that this is very easy and the feeling you have after it’s over is a feeling of accomplishment and pride.

So as mentioned, I will post about how and where you can volunteer but I also ask for your help. I plan to focus on swing states but if you email us or comment that you would like to get involved in your area, I will find the information to make it as easy as possible for you and post it. If you guys send  pictures of the events you host or attend, I’ll also post them along with the where and when and how many calls were made. So don’t forget to take pictures!! (Just make sure everyone is aware the pictures will be posted to the Facebook page in case someone feels a little shy.)

We are all busy and we all have so much on our plates. I ask that you donate at least three hours of your time between now and November 6.  If every single Democrat did this, think of how much we could accomplish.

Make a day of it. Get a group of friends together or venture out on your own and please help make a difference.

You Can FIRE Government by VOTING!

I write articles covering what is going on in politics and focus a lot on womens’ issues. I am a feminist and I believe know women are under attack by the Republican party. In my line of work I have to keep up with the issues. I also need to keep up with issues because I vote.

Since I became the Spokeswoman for Rock The Slut Vote, I have asked many women if they are aware of The War On Women. Too many times, I get a blank look. They have no clue. When I explain to them that every Senate Republican BLOCKED the Fair Pay Act, they are shocked—as they should be. I wonder after we go our own ways, if they will take it upon themselves to find out more about what is really going on. I can only hope they do and share the information with their friends.

Watch this video. Share it. Please. Our rights are at stake. We are the ones who hold the power. If WE DON'T VOTE, we choose to give that power away to people who don’t care if we are subjected to back-alley abortions or get less pay for the same work!

 

Remember this: The people in government are YOUR employees. You pay their salaries. You enable them to collect additional money from corporations who pay politicians to create laws benefiting them. YOU CAN FIRE THESE PEOPLE IF YOU DON’T LIKE THEIR JOB PERFORMANCE. This is your right as an American. That is your duty as a citizen. VOTE!
