Some VERY useful VOTING Information.

Can you believe it? Election Day is finally, FINALLY here!

There are a lot of people out there who support Barack Obama but still aren't sure how, when, or where to vote. It's more common than you think—some of the people who have questions are probably your friends or coworkers.

So we've compiled all the info people need to vote, below. Not just where to go, but also what to do if there's a problem.

Moveon.org's aiming to get this out to 200,000 voters by 10 a.m. Please forward this email to everyone you know—and then click here to tell them how many people you sent it to so they can track the impact together.

Thanks, in advance!

Election 2008 Voting Information:

Today, November 4th, is Election Day! Remember to vote—not just for Barack Obama, but for Congressional, state, and local candidates as well. IMPORTANT NOTE: In New York, you can vote Obama on the Working Families line (Row E). Barack Obama will appear on your ballot twice in New York—first under the Democratic Party, and then again .. E, the ballot line of New York's growing progressive third party. Voting for Barack Obama on the Working Families Party line counts exactly the same for the presidential race—and it also strengthens one of the most important efforts in the country to push Democrats to be more bold and progressive.

1) Where and when do I vote? Find your polling place, voting times, and other important information by checking out these sites and the hotline below. These resources are good, but not perfect. To be doubly sure, you can also contact your local elections office.

Obama's VoteForChange site: voteforchange. com League of Women Voters' site: vote411. org/pollfinder. php Obama's voter hotline: 877-US4-OBAMA (877-874-6226)

2) What should I do before I go? After you've entered your address on either Vote For Change or Vote411, read the voting instructions and special rules for your state. Voting ID laws vary from state to state, but if you have ID, bring it. Check out all the voting myths and misinformation to look out for: http://truth. voteforchange. com/

3) What if something goes wrong? Not on the voter list? Make sure you're at the right polling place, then demand a provisional ballot. If you're voting on an electronic machine with a paper record, verify that the record is accurate.

4) Need legal help?
Call 1-866-OUR-VOTE. If you encounter a problem, try to videotape the situation and submit it to VideoTheVote. org

5) Want to do more?

Why It Still Means A Thing Even If It Ain’t Got That Swing: Vote Working Families Party Line

Photograph: "NYC TO WALL ST: & BUSH: Drop Dead!"

A. Golden, eyewash design: NYC, September, 2008.

You don't live in Ohio. You don't live in Florida. The chance is pretty small that New York will decide the presidential election. So: Why vote?

Here's why. This list is important—so please read it, and then pass it along. And remember: To find out where to vote, what you need to bring, or when the polls close, click here: www. voteforchange. com.

The Top 6 Reasons To Vote In New York. Or, Why It Still Means A Thing Even If It Ain't Got That Swing:

BIG margin = BIG mandate. The popular vote doesn't put anyone in the White House, but it affects what presidents can do when they get there. Want Obama to be able to actually do the stuff he's been talking about? Pass universal health care? End the war? Then we need a landslide.

The other things on the ballot matter! For example: Congress. Without more support in the House and Senate, Obama will have a hard time getting progressive laws passed. Plus, there are other important local races and ballot questions in some places.

If you don't vote, everyone can find out. Voting records are public. (Not who you voted for, just whether you voted.) Pretty soon, finding out whether you voted could be as easy as Googling you.

Help make history. You could cast one of the votes that elect the first African-American president. If we win, we'll tell our grandchildren about this election, and they'll tell their grandchildren. Do you really want to have to explain to your great-great-grandchildren that you were just too busy to vote in the most important election in your lifetime?

In New York, you can vote Obama on the Working Families line (Row E). Barack Obama will appear on your ballot twice in New York—first under the Democratic Party, and then again .. E, the ballot line of New York's growing progressive third party. Voting for Barack Obama on the Working Families Party line counts exactly the same for the presidential race—and it also strengthens one of the most important efforts in the country to push Democrats to be more bold and progressive.

People died so you'd have the right to vote. Self-government—voting to choose our own leaders—is the original American dream. We are heir to a centuries-long struggle for freedom: the American Revolution, and the battles to extend the franchise to those without property, to women, to people of color, and to young people. This year, many will still be denied their right to vote. For those of us who have that right, it's precious. If we waste it, we dishonor those who fought for it and those who fight still.

Now, get out & Vote! Click here for information about where to vote, what to bring/when polls close.

LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN!

Thanks for all you do!
Live your values. Love your country.

Whose Your Maverick Now? 3 days to go...

What are you going to do with the next 3 days?

Dear Voter:

3 days. That's all the time we have. Just 3 days to alert undecided voters AND those who need motivation about how John McCain has voted with President Bush 90% of the time. 3 days to tell them about how he has smeared Barack Obama with malicious fear-mongering and race-baiting tactics. 3 days to stress how McCain's temper and his health record secrecy could pose national security risks. 3 days to point out that McCain overplays his POW card each time he's backed into a corner.

What are you going to do with the next 3 days?

Each day leading up to the election, I'll be sharing a new Brave New Films videos outlining the real John McCain. Feel free to take the videos and send them to ALL the undecided voters you know and to ALL your friends in need of motivation.

Send along a personal note that conveys the time-sensitive nature of these videos and tell them to keep spreading them to all the undecided voters they know. And, by all means, feel free to donate $7 to Brave New PAC so they can continue their efforts to create more hard-hitting videos. For donations click here <---

After TWO stolen elections and the hijacking of Our civil liberties...After eight years of the systematic shredding of Our Constitution...With 40 million Americans' uninsured and 20 million more under-insured...With 1.3 million homes in foreclosure...With what will be a 3 TRILLION dollar bailout using OUR money, the "anti-BIG GOVERNMENT" Republican party has privatized profits and socialized losses...With 9.5 million Americans' unemployed in the worst fiscal disaster since the Great Depression... With an outdated and broken system based on an incredibly shrinking and costly finite resource...With almost 5000 American soldiers dead in a war We were lied into...With a second ongoing war already being waged...With the systematic dumbing down of our children because We've allowed Our elected officials to revamp Our public education system that has left EVERY child behind...ASK YOURSELF:

JUST WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?

If We allow another stolen election to occur, We're merely part of the PROBLEM and NOT part of the SOLUTION. Sign up to volunteer at a polling station to monitor the voting process...Send out these videos...Knock on doors to encourage people to vote! Whatever You do, DO SOMETHING!

LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN!

Thanks for all you do!
Live your values. Love your country.
