The Fall '08 College semester has already started in many states this week. Please email to EVERYONE in your address book and ask them to do the same.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: College students

We must remind all college students that IF they are away from home attending college on election day, they must be registered to vote at THEIR LEGAL RESIDENCES.

If they are still registered at home, THEY MUST OBTAIN an absentee ballot and mail it EARLY to their home state. A first class stamp is required.

IF THEY NOW LEGALLY RESIDE IN THE STATE OF THEIR COLLEGE, they have to change their voter registration to their current address (away at college) BY FILLING OUT A NEW VOTER REGISTRATION APPLICATION and *** RENEWING THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE WITH THEIR NEW ADDRESS.

***Driver's License ADDRESS changes, in SOME states, MAY not be necessary. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR INDIVIDUAL STATE.

Many college students wait until the last minute to make the necessary changes and consequently are unable to vote.

Please pass this along to all college age students.

NOTE: This IMPORTANT REMINDER will be posted on most threads over the next few months.

Thanks all,

Bonnie
