Now is the time
Being a good citizen and an informed voter is always in season, but as the 2006 campaign is in its final two months, now is the time to get involved, or if you are already involved, to step up the pace.
Now is the time to make sure you are registered to vote, that your family is registered to vote, that your extended family is registered to vote, and that your friends are registered to vote. If you can spare the time, you can participate in voter registration drives. Most states allow registration up to about a month before election day. Check on your state here. We are a mobile society, and if you’ve moved, be sure to update your registration.
Now is the time to make a financial contribution to the candidate(s) of your choice. You can go to the candidate’s website, a state party website, the DSCC website, the DCCC website, the DNC website, the site of your favorite PAC or political blog, etc. The GOP has signaled they will be running a lot of negative ads. Answering those ads with a positive vision will take real money.
Now is the time to volunteer for a campaign. You can volunteer for a local campaign or a more distant one either by commuting to a neighboring district in some urban and suburban areas or by an electronic commute in the vast distances of the West. The websites that accept contributions can often suggest ways to volunteer.
