Vote@18:Moms Sign up the Senior Class
http://themmob.org/voteat18/voteat18.html
is a nonpartisan national grassroots project whereby mothers
(and others)
visit classrooms of high school seniors and register them to vote!

It’s simple, really.

Just like we’ve always done, we moms help our kids fill out forms.

But this time it isn’t a permission slip for a school field trip,
or even a college application.

It’s something that we hope they’ll use for the rest of their lives.

It’s a voter registration form.

Every spring,
millions of 18-year-olds graduate from high schools across the country.

These young adults – our children - are newly eligible to vote!!

But there is no concerted effort nationwide to register them while
they are still in high school and relatively easy to reach as a group.

We’ve got a plan to change that, called

Vote@18: Moms Sign up the Senior Class!

The Vote@18 toolkit has everything you need to get started
making classroom presentations in your own school community.
You can find your school superintendent's name and contact information,
download a sample letter to school decision-makers,
and set up classroom visits.
You can use the script to practice making your presentation
to students about the importance of voting.
Get voter registration forms and help the kids fill them out.
Record your registration results using the toolkit
so we know how you're doing!

If we MMOBsters can write more than a half a million letters
urging unregistered mothers to vote
– as we did during the 2004 election
-- then we can register the Class of 2006 to vote!

Need a little inspiration first? Read one mom’s story.

If you’re feeling a little shy, remember, you’ll be talking
to students in your own kid’s school, in your own community.

You’ll be making a valuable contribution to their new lives as grown-ups,
and it feels darned good!!

Help build on the groundswell of increased youth voter turnout in the 2004 election,
and forge a culture of energized, engaged youth!

Help sign up the senior class!

Check out our Vote@18 Toolkit.
Good luck, and have fun meeting the Class of 2006!

Even if you don't have a teen or a kid?
You could still pass the word!!
Thanks!!
