If you are not registerd please make sure you are registered to vote by October 8 to participate in this year's General Election!

I'm sure you are well aware of the importance of this presidential election. Yes I have a preference of who should be our next president and vice president, however, I'm not by any means telling you how to cast your vote. However, don't you think "8 is Enough!":)  Honestly, I'm just making sure you exercise your right. Sitting around complaining has proven to change nothing! EVERY SINGLE VOTE will count.

This year all the lies as to why you can't vote including but not limited to robocalls to your home giving you false information about when you can vote, purging voter registration and other political trickery will be the order of the day to scare you into not participating in the political process.

With our economy in near shambles (I believe we will bounce back) and unemployment* high, please educate yourself on the issues and the canadates! Do not rely on the major news networks as your sole source of information to to determine how you cast your vote. Ah the poll numbers, as exciting and crediable as they may sound, they are not a good determiner of  how the majority will vote on Nov. 4. Don't fall for it! Go Register and Vote.

You are a canidate for Early Vote One-Stop Sites if:
  • You have foreclosed on your home and your address is not considered up to date
  • You have moved and have not updated your voter registration
  • You've had a name change by marriage or divorce.
  • You registered years ago and have not voted since Regan was in office, you may have been purged. Don't be ashamed to register again! There is no law (yet) against registering multiple times if you have to...Just Do It!

Early Vote will give you time to clear those "obstacles" either placed upon you or you may have created and you can register and vote in one fail swoop! Early vote for NC begins October 16 through November 1. Please Click Here for the NC polling station near you. If the link does not work go to the NC Board of Elections site. If you are not sure if your state participates in early vote, please check with your state BOE (Board of Elections).

Nov. 4 is not the day to make changes to your voter registration. It can be done, but it wastes valuable time. If you are still uncertain and/or must procrastinate, take a vacation or sick day on November 4. The lines will be long, voting before work, at your break or lunch hour may not give you enough time! If you are still registered in another state or you are in another country you can still vote please request your Absentee Ballot today!:)

NC is among 15 states that restores voting rights to convicted felons. We have all come in contact with or know personally someone who has served some time. Please Click Here to confirm when you qualify to have your voting rights in NC restored and go vote! Check with your BOE for the policies pertaining to convicted felons voting rights.

If each of us can get at least two person who are not registered registered by October 8, their vote will count!

In NC you can wear your candidates paraphernalia to the polls, however, you cannot verbally state how you plan to cast your vote. Verbally stating how you plan to vote once inside the polling station is considered electioneering. I would suggest that you not wear your paraphernalia. Don't give anyone a reason to interpret the law and send you away. Though rarely used it is official Click Here for NC. We know ignorance of the law does not excuse you. Please check with your state's law(s) concerning this issue.

If you are not registered, need to update your registration, don't know where you polling station is located, need to know where and when you can cast your vote early, need to absentee ballot Click Here or visit your state's  Board of Elections office or site.

You cannot expect change in this country without doing your part!

*According to the Bureau of Labor StatisticsThe national unemployment rate rose to 6.1 percent in August, 1.4 percent-age points higher than a year earlier.
