Progressive Democrat Issue 75: MAINSTREET MOMS REGISTER TEEN VOTERS

Mainstreet Moms' Operation Blue (originally "Mainstream Moms Oppose Bush) has a new project that is well worth our attention/participation:

Joan Blades, co-founder of MoveOn.org, and author Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner have teamed up to create MomsRising, a vibrant online community to push real family values to the forefront of our national conversation: values such as paid family leave, flexible work options, subsidized health care, and affordable childcare.

MomsRising features personal stories, hot issues, current event discussion topics and timely actions for change.

That's where Vote@18 comes in:

MomsRising has included Vote@18 in the section on their home page entitled "What's Cooking:Take Action on Hot Issues". That's us at Register a Teen Today. They've given us plenty of real estate to present history and context for our high school voter registration work.

Mainstreet Moms and Vote@18 are proud and honored to be a part of MomsRising's drive to "build a family-friendly America."

Meanwhile, school's not out yet, so if you need help with Vote@18: Moms Sign Up the Senior Class, raise your hand and ask!

Spend some time helping register teens at 18 with Mainstreet Moms. We need to reach out to the youth vote more than ever and Mainstreet Moms makes it easy with an online toolkit to help get you started. I especially urge you to get involved if you have children in High School. Reach out to your child's classmates and get them ready to vote. If we don't get the next generation involved they may find themselves in Iran in no time.
