> In 2008, six million Americans didn’t vote because they missed a  
> registration deadline or didn’t know how to register.
>
> There’s just no excuse for that.
>
> On Tuesday, September 25th, hundreds of organizations are hosting  
> events for National Voter Registration Day--and we need you to join  
> us.
>
> The AFL-CIO is doing its part by registering potential voters at  
> labor walks every week, but we can’t reach six million people.  
> 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.
>
> 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.
>
> 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.
>
> Won’t you join us on Tuesday to make sure every eligible voter can  
> exercise their democratic right?
