GotVote.org - It's the right of all Americans to vote.
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Did you know that over sixty million hard working taxpaying American citizens eligible to vote are not even registered? That's 60,000,000 silent voices!
There was a time in our nation’s history when barriers were erected to limit citizen access to the voting booth. Today, after the hard work and sacrifice of so many Americans, all citizens are guaranteed the right to have their voices heard. African-Americans gained the right to vote in 1866. Women secured the right to vote in 1920 with the passage of the 19th Amendment, and 18- year-olds were extended the right to vote in 1971. The federal Voting Rights Act further safeguards the rights of all Americans to participate in our electoral system.
No right is more precious than the constitutional right to select our leaders. Yet according to the U.S. Census Bureau in the 2002 Presidential elections, over 60 million eligible American Citizens were not even registered to vote!
These precious rights are only of value if citizens take time to exercise them, GotVote.org will help you reach out to citizens in your community who are not yet registered to vote. With your assistance, we can work together towards ensuring that every person counts.
