Celebrate Obama Blue Day

Stephanie Modkins
Obama Blue Day is September 30, 2008. How do you celebrate it? You celebrate this day by wearing blue and registering at least 2 people to vote. It may surprise you to know that many people still aren't registered to cast theirs on November 4. You can help lead them down the right road by getting them to complete a paper registration form and mailing it in. Find them at RegistertoVote.org. Just go to the link for your state and find the paper registration forms and print a few off. Then, all you have to do is . . .

Stop two people at the supermarket. Do it after 5 p.m. when all of the young, single people go get their food. Who knows? You might even get a date.

Call up an old friend. We all know at least two old dogs or cats that refuse to participate in the political system. Give them a wake up call and get them registered to vote.

Chat with your online friends. If you belong to a social site, chances are that one of your regular buddies isn't registered to vote. Send them to a site to get the job done. Try RegistertoVote.org.

Bug a couple of relatives. Talk to a cousin or aunt who's given up on the political system. Explain to her or him that this time things will be different. Then, get your relatives to register to vote.

Go door-to-door. Meet your neighbors and find out if they are registered to vote. If not, explain to them how your neighborhood would improve with the right leader in the White House.

Stand up at church. (Get permission from your minister first.) Announce to the congregation that you are willing to register people to vote after service. Then, wait at the door and get busy.

Visit your old high school. Ask the principal if you he or she will allow you to talk to the people old enough to vote. Then, explain the importance of civic duty and register them to vote.

Now that you see how Obama Blue Day works, don't miss out. Get prepped and ready for it. Exercise your political muscle and participate fully in one of the most electric presidential races in over a decade.
