New Voter Protection Groups on Facebook and MySpace

"Record numbers of young people are signing up to vote for the first time, and the union movement is making sure their votes will be counted."

The American Federation of Government Employees recently launched two new pages on the ever popular social networking sites Facebook and Myspace.  The groups are dedicated to protecting student and young voter rights.  In previous elections some college students were denied the right to vote.  Making sure that young voters get the chance to cast their ballots and that their ballots are counted is critical in this year's election. The pages provide voter tips, resources and links to other voter protection groups.  Please take a moment to visit their MySpace page and go to Facebook and search for "Voter Protection" and become their friend.
