Prepare to vote yourself

Find & study your sample ballot. Why?

Because in addition to voting for Barack and all your other favorite candidates, the following are also on the ballot: 9 Judges, 1 Gross Receipts Tax Question, 6 General Obligation Bond issues, 5 NM Constitutional Amendments, and 4 Bond Questions.

VIEW SAMPLE BALLOT page [Ballot link removed, 1/2009], then find & click on your polling place which will take you to your sample ballot. (Ballots vary depending upon your District, so it's important to select your correct polling place.)

Help protect the absentee ballot votes!

The Democratic Party urgently needs volunteers to help monitor the absentee ballot vote count.
Beginning Thursday, October 30, and continuing until all absentee ballots have been processed, the count will most likely be held at the Santa Fe County Clerk's office.

If you are registered to vote in Santa Fe County, can attend a two-hour training session on October 21 from 6-8 pm, and can commit to at least one five-hour shift during the actual count, you can help ensure the integrity of the election. You do NOT need to be a lawyer to volunteer. If you would like a sign-up form, which contains a full schedule of shifts, email Gaye Pollitt.

CRUCIAL WEEKEND...the Great Chase for Voters continues! Join us.

Come canvass for the campaign Saturday and/or Sunday!
Just one 3-hour shift would be very helpful. Two shifts would be fantastic!
Shifts start at 10am, 1pm and 4pm both days from both offices.
Come a little early for a short briefing if you've never canvassed before.

Less than five days left before Voter Registration deadline. Less than five weeks until Election Day. We need you NOW. This is our collective moments to help win Barack's presidency!

• This weekend is our last shot to chase those "sporadic-voting" Democrats to encourage them to vote-by-mail or early vote. The easier we make it for these voters, the more likely they'll vote!
• This weekend is our last shot at new voters...so we need you if you're a Voter Registration Agent to go out with the canvassers. Or go work a Voter Registration location.

Remember...lots of early votes mean

• fewer people we'll need to get to the polls on election day.
• more people able to vote easily on election day because the lines will be shorter.
• fewer people susceptible to late Republican dirty attacks.

Call a good buddy to canvass with you; make it more fun. And how about your family? Your friends? You recruit folks; the Field Organizers will train them.
