NAACP Online Voter Registration - Link to Website

I placed this post under a separate thread in hopes that it would draw the attention of those who want to register online to vote. I fear that it may get lost and buried in the Politics thread.

Apparently, we've got 8 million African-Americans still unregistered so, again, the hope is that this thread will remain separate from the other thread and others can cut and paste and forward to their listservs and friends.

Message from Benjamin T. Jealous, President & CEO of the NAACP:

We have just over a week before most states close their rolls to new voters for the 2008 Elections, and with an estimated 8 million African Americans who are not registered to vote we have a lot of ground to cover.

All summer long the NAACP and its coalition partners have been hard at work getting people accurate information about their voting eligibility and registering tens of thousands of new voters. But we knew that on-the-ground tactics alone wouldn't be enough, we needed to leverage the power of new technology to increase our reach.

That's why I'm so excited about our Upload to Uplift program, the NAACP's online voter registration initiative that makes registering to vote easy and convenient. Thousands of people have used the program to register, and with just over a week to go we need your help to make sure that everyone knows about this critical resource.

Tell five people you know about Upload to Uplift.

You can use our simple tool to tell your friends, family, anyone you know just how important it is to register.Ask them to tell their friends. If all of us in the NAACP community tell just five people how easy it is to register to vote using Upload to Uplift imagine the impact we can have together.

Please take a few minutes to help us spread the word. There is simply too much at stake to miss a single opportunity.

Sincerely,

Benjamin T. Jealous
President & CEO
