Get a copy of your birth certificate [View all]

We really need people to vote but to get an ID in some states you need proof of citizenship.

We should all remind people we know and meet who aren't registered to make the effort to get a copy. It is a good excuse to see your parents and look for or get information about yourself to get a copy where you were born. It is vitally important we establish our birthrights now. The stakes are too high in 2016 to not vote.
