From NationalVoterRegistrationDay.com:

In 2008, 6 million Americans didn’t vote because they missed a registration deadline or didn’t know how to register. In 2012, we want to make sure no one is left out.

On September 25, 2012, volunteers, celebrities, and organizations from all over the country will “hit the streets” for National Voter Registration Day. This single day of coordinated ?eld, technology and media efforts will create pervasive awareness of voter registration opportunities–allowing us to reach tens of thousands of voters or more who we could not reach otherwise.

Over 1,000 organizations, including Facebook, Google, and Rolling Stone, are coming together to set up what will be an unprecedented online and offline effort to make sure voters are registered. News Corpse is participating in this nationwide exercise in patriotism by providing an opportunity for readers to register and get information specific to each state’s laws and procedures.

The GOP is working overtime to suppress the vote. They are passing laws that disenfranchise seniors, minorities, students, and other legitimate voters who just happen to lean Democratic. But if we counter those efforts in the courts and the public arena, we can defeat them and ensure that all eligible citizens get to express themselves in this election.

Use this form register or get more information. And pass it along to your friends and family.
