As the Vote for Change movement continues to grow, more and more volunteers who participated in voter registration in the primary states are returning to this critical activity.
In Atlanta, Georgia, Lawrence is hosting a voter registration drive at the Atlanta Caribbean Carnival. Lawrence was actively involved in voter registration for the primary in Georgia and is excited about bringing even more new voters into the process...
It is one of my favorite things to do with the campaign. I once registered a 86-year-old African-American man who said it would be his first time voting. I remember the smile on his face, which always reminds me that every vote does count.
The day-long festival is celebrating its 20th year with a series of pageants and parades. At the event, Lawrence and other supporters will be both registering people to vote and educating them about voting rights and the general election.
This event is one of many Lawrence has posted on my.BarackObama.com and he says the website has greatly helped his experience with the campaign:
I'm very proud of my #145 place on my.BarackObama.com, the rating system encourages me to organize and sign-up people to participate in events. My.BarackObama.com has been the most important tool in giving me success with my events. I don't know how people organized without it.
At my.BarackObama.com, you can find Vote for Change events in your community or even create your own.
