It's YOUR right to vote!

So, some of you are saying, "Eh, voting -- I'll get around to it sooner or later."

Well, guess what, pal?  In one state, you're already too late to vote!  

Crazy? I completely agree with you.  But that's one state's method  of limiting your voice.

If you live in the other 49 states, it's not too late.

But it will be -- very, very soon.

REGISTER AND VOTE.
