Are Your Papers In Order?

August 1, 2004
Department of VoteLand Security*

Dear Citizen,

It has come to our attention that you have registered for the VoterVirgin Class of '04. Since Everybody's Doin' It In '04, we ask for your cooperation to ensure that all new voters are prepared to practice safe voting. The following suggestions from the Office of VoteLand Security are designed to make sure you receive all pertinent information and your papers are in order for the November election.

1. Please add www.votervirgin.com to your e-mail safe list immediately. In order to receive Voteland Security notices about safe voting practices, you must be sure VoterVirgin is not registering as spam or junk on your e-mail filter.

2. If you registered to vote, ask yourself a few questions: Did I receive my voter registration card? Is my name spelled properly and the information up to date? Where did I put that card anyway? Should I keep this in my wallet so I can find it when the time comes?

3. If you have not registered to vote you must do so ASAP. Time is running out! You can find voter registration deadlines by state here. Please be sure your friends are registered as well. You can register to vote here if you have access to a printer. This includes your easy to use postage free handy dandy envelope, so no excuses.

4. Under federal law, college students are legally entitled to vote from their residence at school. The Supreme Court established this right in 1979.

5.If you did not receive your voter registration card, you must check with your county voter registrar because you might need to re-apply (google your county+voter registrar to see if online services are available). Voter id is not required in all states. Check this list to see if you need a voter registration card

6. Always bring a picture id to the polling place when you go to vote. In fact, bring as much id as you can (in case you have the same name as a felon that lives in Florida).

Having your papers in order will ensure a safe and happy experience for all citizens at the polls. The Department of VoteLand Security thank you in advance for being prepared to practice safe voting and reminds you to
Vote No Matter What.

Sincerely,
Undersecretary of Papers In Order
