Voter Registration Matters
Local 848 members are registering to vote. Everybody over the age
of 17 years and 10 months should be registered. People who have not voted for
790 days may have been purged from the rolls. People who have moved since the
last time they voted need to fill out a new card.
A simple way to register is to click on http://www.dalcoelections.org/registration.html
then download the Texas voter registration form.
Print it, fill it out, and mail to your county courthouse. New laws require
your Texas drivers' license number or the last four digits of your Social
Security, even if you are using the old application card that says it's
optional.
There are application cards and a whole lot of new
political materials in our hall. You might be able to download and print the
one below. Right-click on it for options.
Americans are concerned
Record turnout in early primaries indicates that
many Americans are working to maintain our democratic rights. In Dallas, a
highly successful coalition is registering voters. It is led by Bob and Linda
Lydia of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
and reaches all areas of the county. If you want to help them register voters, click here.
Application cards are mailed, postage free, to the
county courthouse. Activists working to register voters in North Texas will
need to know the zip codes of the County Courthouses in surrounding counties.
Here are some of them:
Collin 75074
Dallas 75207
Denton 76202
Ellis 75168
Henderson 75751
Johnson 76033
Kaufman 75751
Tarrant 76102
Tyler 75979
Wise 76234
Americans are concerned about Democracy because of
the more difficult registration requirements, the 2000 elections in Florida,
the Texas redistricting, the effort to stop Prairie View College students from
voting, and/or new "touch screen" voting machines that leave no paper
trail; you can fight back by joining millions of other Americans in this 2004
voting effort.
