| Circle Voting seeks to: |
|
Develop
a network of people who know the importance of voting and are concerned about the Circles
of Life (environment, human rights, health care…..). |
|
Provide
tools to reach out to those of like mind in circles of family and friends who have less
interest in voting. |
|
Mobilize
committed and occasional voters into a force that has a big impact on policy as have the
Religious Right and Labor Unions in the past by voting in a sustained way in national,
state and local elections. |
|
Organize
from the bottom up. Each person in our network multiplies their vote by
bringing out others of like mind and providing vote guidance to them. No
organization decides who to support (as in the Religious Right, MoveOn, etc). |
| Multiply your vote by using these tools |
|
Learn
about voters:
Many mistakenly assume that all their friends vote. Only 60% of those eligible
actually voted in the last hotly contested presidential race and over HALF of
nonvoters told pollsters that they would "definitely vote" in November 2004.
Large numbers of people even remember voting in 2004 when they didn't. See
what the polls show. more. |

Election
are about who turns out to vote. This is especially true in state and local
electons. ( 36% voted in 2006 and some local elections get under 5%). Non-voters are
more likely to make under 100K and be younger. You don't need to get into nasty
arguments about politics to have an impact. Just encourage members of like mind in
your own circle of like mind to vote. Read about the impact of networks and see
sample
emails.

Here
and make this available to your circle. Ten percent think they are registered but they
really aren't. And its not true that registering to vote will lead to jury duty
(except in a few states.) more. |

Apply
for an Absentee Ballot.
Learn
what reasons you need to give to get a ballot and the states where you don't even need a
reason. And apply for a ballot here. more. |

Share
Recommendations. See
how Circle Voting can organize your recommendations along with organizational
endorsements to provide a Voter Guide that is tailored to the values and locality of the
members of your circle when they are ready to focus on the election. (more) |
