Hey all,
This is just a friendly reminder for everyone that today is the last day for Americans in most states to register to vote in the election next month. There are some states, like Maryland, that have a later deadline, but don't wait...make sure you're registered to vote right now, no matter your preference.

Here you can get a form to register, or double-check to verify that you are registered. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, this is something that everyone who is eligible should do. Many people have fought and died to afford us the freedom to vote, so let's not waste this opportunity!
North Carolina's deadline is this Friday, October 10th
If you are not yet registered, please join those of us who are registered. The right to vote is an important, basic freedom, often taken for granted. Whatever you believe, please exercise your right to vote. Concerned about long lines this year? Early Voting may be a good choice!
