Reply #15: Congress passing things is not what will bring people to the midterm polls [View All]

People just don't tend to vote in midterms--especially younger and newer voters. So it's going to be up to all of US to sign up with local campaigns or with OFA to make sure these voters understand why it is so important to get to the polls in November. They have to understand that what they voted for in 2008 will not happen unless they do.

So let's not keep saying that Congress has to do this or Obama has to do that. It's what we do in helping to get voters to the polls that matters. The underinformed won't even notice if a climate bill or banking regulation passes. They are not giving or withholding their approval or their promise to vote based on that. They just plain don't vote. They need to know that everything is on the line with THEIR vote.
