Are You Registered To Vote?

Hey everyone!

As Vice President of the Shepherd Young Dems (and your friend), I want to take this opportunity to ask all of you: are you registered to vote?

If not, please come see me on Monday in the Ram's Den. I'll be there before ten and then between eleven and twelve. If you can't make it during those times, just stop by and approach the SU Young Dems table and say you want to register. It's super easy and only takes a few minutes.

Don't be apathetic about voting- especially if you're a girl. Seriously. I cannot stress this enough. Women less than a hundred years ago were harassed, ridiculed, and even tortured so that we could gain the right to fully participate in our political system.  While this entire presidential campaign process has definitely been stressful (at least for me, anyway), there is value in casting your vote, no matter what people try to tell you. Also, you can't really complain about our elected officials if you don't vote. Sorry.

So come register to vote if you aren't already registered on Monday in the Ram's Den, and the Shepherd Young Dems will help you out. Also, registering to vote at our table doesn't in ANY way mean you have to register as a Democrat. I want to make clear that this is not a partisan thing. We're just encouraging everyone and anyone to come register to vote- we don't care about your party affiliation. We know that's your business.

Hope to see at least one of you on Monday at our table.
