Are you registered to vote? Are you sure? Are all your friends and family registered voters?
I hope so, because Mitt Romney and the rest of the Republicans are doing everything they can to STOP people from voting.
In some states they're using discriminatory voter suppression laws, in some they're flooding airwaves with deceptive negative
ads—but the goal is the same. They know that a low turnout election is their surest path to victory.
Most Americans share our values—they want to protect Medicare and Social Security, they want the rich to pay their
fair share in taxes, they want to invest in education and jobs. If everyone voted, Republicans wouldn't stand a chance.
But the fact is, too many of them aren't voters—and millions of progressives aren't even registered. Let's change that
right now.
Voting registration deadlines are coming up fast, so we just set up moveon.org/vote
to help people nationwide register before it's too late.
You might think everyone you know is already registered, but now is the time to double-check and pass this email along. Asking
a friend or family member is one of the most effective ways to get someone to register to vote. It's our responsibility to
reach out and make sure all progressives are registered voters who get to the polls on Election Day.
If you know anyone who is not a registered voter, who has moved recently, or if you're not sure whether someone is a registered
voter, forward this email and ask your friends and family to register here:
In 2008, 6 million people didn't vote because they missed a deadline or didn't know how to register.1 This election
is going to come down to how many progressives turn out, and it all starts with registering in time.
Thanks for all you do.

P.S. Americans living abroad now must re-register every year in order to vote. Americans overseas can register online here:
