WIGA Supports Native Vote Washington

The Washington Indian Gaming Association believes in the importance of empowering the Native voice, especially because this is an important federal, state and local election year. WIGA would like to show its support of Native Vote Washington.
 
Press release from Native Vote Washington:

Washington Natives – Make Sure YOUR VOICE COUNTS this Election!!

Only 30 Days Left to Register to Vote!


We all know that YOU know just how important your vote will be in November, whether you are voting for McCain or Obama, Gregoire or Rossi, or any of the local candidates in your community.  And we know that you are going to vote because you want to express yourself on the issues like health care, education, sovereignty, crime, Iraq, and the gas prices, but also because you are speaking for your children and others in your community who can’t vote.

But in order to vote you have to be registered!  That’s where we come in.

Here are the details:

  •        You must be 18 by November 4, 2008
  •        You must be a resident of Washington State
  •        You must be a U.S.. Citizen


If you are, and you are NOT registered already, then you have until October 4, 2008 to register in time to vote on Election Day.  That’s just 30 Days From Now!!

So, if you are not registered, go to our website, www.nativevotewa.org , and click on the REGISTER TO VOTE button on the right hand side of our homepage.  It’s simple and takes about 3 minutes.  It’s that easy.

If you are not sure if you are registered, you can check on line by going to MyVote and finding out.  http://wei.secstate.wa.gov/OSOS/VoterVault/Pages/MyVote.aspx

We will be sending out new updates (and a countdown to the registration cut-off date) that will explain HOW SOON you can vote, WHERE you can vote or drop-off your ballot, and WHAT KIND OF I.D. YOU WILL NEED if you are one of the few voters in Washington who still votes in person.

Remember your vote can make all the difference in deciding who speaks for you in Olympia, the White House, Congress, and local offices statewide.


Thank You,

Your Native Vote Washington Team
