Registration of New Voters in Swing States -- PDA's Organizing Team Plan
September 5, 2008
PDA believes that registering new voters in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida is one of the most important things that activist citizens can do to walk the talk for Obama and "change" between now and election day.
As a consequence of that belief, PDA is actively engaged with the vast coalition committed to Obama's election (which is in no way guaranteed) and to continuing to build the Progressive Movement during and after this election period. To this end, PDA has formed a New Voter Registration Team (NVRT). We are seeking your support.
The efforts of the NVRT will be coordinated by PDA state leaders, state coordinators, chapter chairs, and CD point people, along with a National PDA NVR coordinating team. The point person on that team is Bruce Taub (
bruce@pdamerica.org).
The goals of the PDA NVRT are to work with Obama New Voter Registration teams in key states. PDA is committed to REGISTERING AS MANY NEW VOTERS AS WE CAN before the election. Please be aware that 27 out of 50 states cut off new voter registration for Presidential elections on October 6, 2008!!
There are two areas of focus for our work: (a) activating local/in-state PDAers and others to work on NVR in swing states, and (2) organizing and moving teams of PDA volunteers from safe and adjacent states into swing states.
PDA state leaders who can help generate active NVRT members prepared to work in swing states are encouraged to be in touch with Bruce as soon as possible at
bruce@pdamercia.org. PDA state leadership is our link to in-state PDA NVR efforts.
Join the team! -- New voter registration materials available on the
Obama web site.
