>Dear MoveOn member,
>
>Election Day -- Tuesday, November 5th -- is just two days away. Here
>are some resources to help make sure your vote counts.
>
>First, you need to know where to vote on Tuesday. In most cases, your
>town office or county clerk can tell you where to go. We've compiled
>information on where and how to vote in several key states (Arkansas,
>California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, New
>Hampshire, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Texas) at the
>end of this message. Many newspapers also publish a list of local
>polling places. If you don't know where to vote, please take a minute
>to check, or make a note to call your town or county office on Monday.
>
>Second, it's important to be prepared in case anything goes wrong on
>Election Day. Here's a national hotline set up by the Voting Rights
>Institute for you to use if you have trouble at the polls, or if you
>believe your voting rights are being violated:
>
> 1-866-VOTE-411
> (1-866-868-3411)
>
>Third, it's important to know your rights as a voter. For each of 20
>key states, People for the American Way has researched and compiled a
>Voter's Bill of Rights, describing in plain language exactly what your
>rights are at the polls. If you live in Alabama, California, Florida,
>Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi,
>Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
>Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, or Wisconsin,
>there is a Voter's Bill of Rights for your state at:
>
> http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=6523
>
>In those same states, People for the American Way has also set up
>another hotline to resolve Election Day problems, at:
>
> 1-866-OUR-VOTE
> (1-866-687-8683)
>
>Today's reason to act is:
>
> "It's the economy stupid!"
>
>Today's reason was submitted by Joseph Magid, a business owner in
>Wynnewood, PA, who writes:
>
> "While President Bush beats the war drums to drown out what's really
> going on, it's tremendously important that voters everywhere remember
> what it was like a mere TWO years ago and who is responsible for the
> stock market going into freefall, Federal, State AND local coffers
> running dry and tens of thousands of people falling below the poverty
> line and losing their medical insurance."
>
> "If it weren't for Democratic control of the Senate, it would be even
> worse! With Republican control of the Senate, the wealthiest of the
> wealthy would have another huge windfall with the elimination of the
> inheritance tax. Similarly, the existing ill-conceived, deficit
> producing tax cuts would have been widened and made permanent,
> guaranteeing economic disaster for the poor and working classes for
> as far as the eye can see."
>
> "For the health and well-being of the great majority of Americans ,
> it is imperative that the Senate remain in Democratic control and
> control in the House be wrested from the Republicans."
>
>Get ready to vote on Tuesday. Our future depends on it.
