Vote like your future depends on it. Because it does.

From: "Raven Bennett, Ken Dious for Congress 10th District" Vote like your future depends on it. Because it does. If the future is important to you, t hen the 10 th  Congressional election matters more than you think. I'm writing you to let you know about Attorney Ken Dious, the Democratic Nominee for U.S. Congress in the 10 th  District.  In his forty years practicing law, Ken has traveled and served the people throughout this area and is familiar with their issues and concerns. Ken's life work as an attorney, businessman and community leader has well prepared him for the challenges of leading the 10 th  District.  Ken faces an uphill battle on November 4th against his opponent, Jody Hice.  Who is Jody Hice? Let him tell you for himself.     If elected, Mr. Hice will potentially disenfranchise many voters and could potentially set the district back 60 years with his  extremely inflammatory remarks against women's rights, race, r

He went on to reassure the room that Republicans   shouldn't worry about voter fraud in Georgia, especially if voters use the new online voter registration tool. And Secretary Kemp ended his speech saying, "we need to make sure we continue to do

What are you gonna do?

From: Junia Telamour - DPG Date:09/11/2014 9:03 AM (GMT-05:00) Subject: What are you gonna do? A few weeks ago, I started working at the Democratic Party of Georgia as our first Voter Expansion Director. My mission is to build a permanent infrastructure that is focused on expanding and protecting the vote of all Georgians—regardless of party. For us, expanding voter participation isn't some gimmick—it's a value we hold. We believe that our government is stronger and works better when more voices are heard. Unfortunately— as evidenced by Tuesday's events —not everyone shares this value. Just days ago, we got the great news that DeKalb County would offer its voters the option—for the first time in our state's history—to vote on a Sunday during the early voting period. DeKalb leaders
