Trouble at the polls ? Work to protect the vote!

Dallas County Dems : If you experience a problem on Tuesday at the election, tell your polling place's election judge, then promptly call the DCDP Headquarters. We will write up an incident report and follow up with the polling site. If your problem involves someone you think is an election worker, please check for a name tag and write down their name. Do NOT wait until days after the incident occurred. Call the DCDP at (214) 821-8331.

Protect the Vote !

*             Spread the word - On Tuesday (or tomorrow if you are able to vote early in your state), keep 1-866-OUR-VOTE saved in your phone and make sure the Election Protection Smartphone App (for Android or listed as "ElectProtect" in iTunes) is installed and working properly on your phone. Make sure your 10 friends whom you've shared the app with are all set too, and have the hotline number ready on speed dial. Have questions or problems voting? Call the hotline.

*             Organize - We'll be updating our website and social media platforms with news throughout Election Day. Be sure to follow @866OurVote on Twitter, like us on Facebook, and check the Latest News section of our site to stay up to date on the most crucial information affecting voters. Put your online organizing skills to work by retweeting, "liking", and sharing our posts on social media-we'll be sure to do the same.

If you need to report any issues on Election Day or need information about voting, please call us at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.You can also report issues to us via twitter using the hashtag "#OVLReport

Upholding Democracy, Ballot by Ballot
NY Times

    

 

This year, voting is more than just the core responsibility of citizenship; it is an act of defiance against malicious political forces determined to reduce access to democracy. Millions of ballots on Tuesday - along with those already turned in - will be cast despite the best efforts of Republican officials around the country to prevent them from playing a role in the 2012 election

Give to help victims of Hurricane Sandy !

Hurricane Sandy's devastation has left many people and cities in need of help. Some are still left with no electricity and not enough gas. Staten Island and Queens are still faced with demolished homes and buildings leaving many stranded while neighborhoods in places like Long Island are still completely washed-out. Even though the worst is behind the East Coast, the aftermath continues to loom. 

Here is a small list of established charities and organizations that are involved in the recovery and cleanup of these devastated areas:

 

American Red Cross

Salvation Army

Occupy Sandy Relief

The Humane Society of the United States
