VOTER REGISTRATION: We need copies! We need you!
We have less than four weeks until the October 4th deadline for registering people to vote. We need YOUR help to get them registered!
We have a new interactive website where you can view events where we need volunteers to register people, add your own events, and sign up for them all from your computer. Just go to
http://www.registertexas.org/ to sign up. Click on "create an account by clicking here", fill in your information, and choose a username and password. You can then immediately use that username and password to access the site.
Once you have some people registered, bring the completed cards by one of our offices: 512 E. Riverside or 706 W. MLK. If you have any questions about voter registration, please contact Jeff Manson at
jeff@austinforchange.com or 443-2019. Thanks!
MAKING COPIES FOR DEMOCRACY Can you help?
We intend to pass out door-to-door over 50,000 voter registration cards in the coming three weeks. Because of Republican budget cuts, we can’t get enough blank cards from the State, so we’re all pitching in to make our own DEMOCRATIC ones.
If you can make us 500 copies, you’ll have made 1000 cards. Any amount helps.
1) Email us that you’re making copies and about how many you can do
2) Make copies of the cards you find at
http://www.austinforchange.com/toolkit/vrcombo.pdf
3) Call us and we’ll pick them up (512-656-6337) or drop them by 512 E Riverside Dr Ste 203.
4) We need a bunch this weekend, and more early next week so don’t delay!
DELIVERY OF VOTER REGISTRATION DISPLAY BOXES
We have 250 display boxes. We have a list of 500 laundromats and convenience stores.
We need volunteers to take a section of the city, drive from location to location and ask the store clerks or whomever if we can leave a display case on their counter. We’re ready to roll on this Saturday. Come to 512 E Riverside Dr Ste 203 to get a route!
BECOME A DEPUTY VOTER REGISTRAR
Constable Bruce Elfant will swear you in and train you so you can register voters.
Saturdays, 9 am at Travis County Demo Party office 706 W MLK
Thursdays, 5:30 pm at 512 E Riverside Dr Ste 203
NEW EASY RECEIPT PROCESS
If you need receipts for voter registration, you can print out sheets at
http://www.austinforchange.com/
Just cut them apart with a scissors and use them as your original.
You don’t have to “tape a copy” on the card anymore! You can just write: “Registered by Glen Maxey (your name) 9/8/2003” across the top of the voter registration form.
The new copies have a space on them for you to write your name.
Doorhangers for Voter RegistrationWe are making 25,000 packets to hang on doors that include voter registration cards and other information. These are going to small apartment complexes and student areas.If you can help stuff these bags (very mindless, fun work), email us and we'll send a return email with details as soon as all the printed material arrives.If you know of any "Democratic" type apartment locations where you'd like to put these on doors, just email
Glen@austinforchange.com. We'll get the materials to you..
