WANT TO FIND SOME COMPARISONS BETWEEN THE CANDIDATES TO SHARE WITH MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, CO-WORKERS AND CLASSMATES WHO REMAIN UNDECIDED?


Visit http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ for some quick reads on the issues... and print out answers or forward the link to undecided voters.


This information was provided by Shreveport for Obama (located at 520 Spring Street). If you can volunteer any time on Election Day, call them at (318) 221-7902.


ALSO ...


DO NOT wearing any paraphernalia (buttons, caps, t-shirts, stickers) to the polls or you will be turned away for "electioneering" and can be denied the right to vote! Wear BLUE or BLACK in support of Obama.

DO NOT let them tell you cannot vote without an ID. You can ask for a provisional ballot and sign an affidavit.

DO NOT believe the hype that you must vote FOR or AGAINST all of the Amendments/Propositions or your vote won't count. UNTRUE!!!

and if your current address and the address on your ID do not match, bring a utility bill to the polls to confirm your address and identity. It will helps speed things up.


EXPECT A WAIT BUT DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED ...

OTHER GENERATIONS WAITED DAYS AND SOME DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE ...

A FEW HOURS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO FOUR MORE YEARS OF DEVASTATION!!!


BRING A BOOK, A BLANKET, A CHAIR, WHATEVER BUT VOTE!!!!
