Reasons to Vote 4

October 30th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

We’ve been knocking on doors asking people if they’re registered to vote and getting people to sign pledge cards that get mailed back to the address listed. Here are a few of the reasons people have given us as to why cast a ballot this fall:

“We need a change! Go vote, Mom!” — Gracie, Greensburg, PA

“The wife will shoot me if I don’t!” — D., Greensburg, PA

“My kids can’t vote yet, and there is no jobs, and minimum wage needs to go up some!” — DeMikea, Pittsburgh, PA

“Mom– Register online!” — Carol, Carnegie, PA

“I’m cool and I’m your best friend. Love, Vickie” — Cassie, Washington, PA

“The economy is dying!!!” — Jowett, Beaver, PA

“As a black female, it’s my constitutional right that so many fought for me to vote.” — Sheila

“Hi man, It may be in your interest to vote this year! Joe.” — Ellen, Allison Park, PA

“I can! I’m angry! I’m broke!” — Raymond, Pittsburgh, PA

“A closed mouth can not speak, my vote is my voice.” — Rashida, Pittsburgh, PA

Did everyone have fun watching the last two pres and vp debates?  Okay, so maybe that’s not the word for it, but the League is here to change that.

Putting the “fun” back into “debate,”  the PA League has partnered with our old friends at The Shadow Lounge to bring you the debates you’ve been looking for.

Educate yourself on the candidates’ issues while playing our debate bingo for prizes or partake of the Shadow Lounge’s drink specials!

That’s this Tuesday, Oct 7th from 8pm till it’s over, and again Wednesday Oct 15th from 8pm till no one can take it any more.  Get there early to get a good seat!
