That’s why National Voter Registration Day is so important—hundreds of groups are partnering to carry out this huge task. In fact, if there’s not an event in your area, I encourage you to host one to register voters in your community.<br><br>If we register even a tenth of those six million, we could change the face of the electorate in this country and make a big difference on Election Day. And we’ll be doing more than just registering voters.<br><br>No matter what your party affiliation, voting matters. In between all the hot air from political pundits and partisan bickering in Congress, there lot at stake for working families this election. And if we want to hold our elected officials accountable after November, we first have to get out to the ballot box. That starts by getting registered—and there isn’t much time left.<br><b><br>Won’t you join us on Tuesday to make sure every eligible voter can exercise their democratic right?<br><br></b><a href="http://act.aflcio.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=tju0yPKv4Pjamh%2FI26BneQmfo5uE%2BsE9"><b>go.aflcio.org/NVRD</b></a><br><br>In Solidarity,<br><br>Arlene Holt Baker<br>Executive Vice President, AFL-CIO<br><br><i>P.S.
