Election day is approaching fast. We have very little time left to make this important voter turnout drive succeed.

This year is largely a local and Statewide election year, so each vote counts even more than in national election years because voter turnout is usually low. The way to get the change we need is to elect the right leaders. There are many important election contests and referendums on the ballot.

Every vote counts, and your vote and participation in this voter turnout drive can make all the difference. It is your civic duty and your Constitutional right to vote,and your help is needed to get others out to vote.

If you are registered to vote, please get out and vote Tuesday. If you are not registered to vote, register now for next year.

Registering to vote is easy and free. You simply fill out a card and mail it to your local Board of Elections. You can get a form from Rock The Vote or from your Board of Elections.

Educate yourself. Learn who and what is on your ballot before you go to the polls. Read the voters guide in your local newspaper or online, visit the candidate's websites, and ask like minded people in your area who they are voting for and why. If they say they are not voting, please ask them why not and tell them why they should vote!

Rock The Vote has made voting easier with the information you need. But you must act now, Election Day is November 3rd!

Please join in and make your plans to vote, help get other voters out, and then pass this important message on to everyone in your address book. If you target and talk to people, they will vote.

Dear Rock the Vote Friends,

Recently, Rock the Vote joined with Live Earth as its partner. On 7-7-07, millions of people worldwide experienced Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis. In doing so, they were making the commitment to take action against the climate crisis. Besides the hundreds of thousands of people attending the Live Earth concerts on seven continents, over 10,000 "Friends of Live Earth' in 195 countries participated in house parties to watch the event and at least ten million more people viewed the concerts online.

Don't be left behind! Join the millions of people across the world who have pledged to take action against the climate crisis.

Together, we will solve the climate crisis.

Remember to register to vote because you can't vote if you're not registered! Why is voting important when it comes to stopping the climate crisis? Well, here are some things to consider:

- The U.S. president inherited a country that makes up less than 5% of the world's population but produces nearly a quarter of the world's greenhouse gases.

- Legislation regarding environmental issues is crafted by the lawmakers YOU elect.

- Congress appropriates the funds for the development of clean renewable energy sources.

- The administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, which has the legal responsibility to regulate carbon emissions, will be appointed by the next president.

Register now at and tell your friends to register as well.

The future is now. We cannot wait. Together we will make a difference.
