The next 4 weeks are critical. The Obama strategy is getting out the youth vote. The youth vote is primarily, but not solely, composed of college students.
College students are at college now, and will be there on Election Day.
Thus, 25-30 million college kids must now apply for and get absentee ballots, and it needs to happen today.
Does anyone know anything about the Obama outreach to college program? This cannot wait until after the conventions. College students are very procrastinating.
I am concerned about this.
Does anyone have any information about this component of the Obama strategy?
besides me.
Right?
Great minds think alike…
That’s #1 on my list of to do’s for next week. It’s very important to do it early. If for some reason you were “gaged,” Misspelled, or whatever, it will take them weeks to let you know. I won’t have that problem, but I always get the voting thing done as early as possible, and spend the last couple weeks “street walking.”
People in Europe and otherwise far from their precincts need to request those ballots now, by fax if possible. Some jurisdictions don’t have them printed yet, but it never hurts to be first in line.
I don’t care about you.
I do care about millions (literally) of students.
I have sent an email to the Students for Barack group, but sending emails to the convention has a low record of response.
Who is in charge? Is there a plan?
The Obama group just registered over a thousand college students.
They’re on it. I believe they are also making sure that the homeless know they can register at the shelters. I know it came up at our last meeting.
Also, check your laws. Felons are now able to vote in my state.
