Volunteers and Organizations are encouraged to join resources and kick-off a voter campaign to mobilize, educate and activate voters who are tired of lies and wars. Let's recover the citizen's voice in American politics and demand a truly democratic elections process.

There will be a range of events, from going out and registering voters at tables around the city to walking door to door in the Whiteaker Neighborhood, or your own neighborhood, dropping information about the Bush Administration's Deceits and/or registering people to vote, to a Peace Dove parading through the streets.
There will be a party at COZMIC Pizza, with music, at the end of the day, which EVERYONE is invited to.

What are groups doing that day?

Group Name: Eugene Kucinich Supporters
Contact: David Hazen
Email Address: innercom@cyberis.net
Organization Website: http://kucinich-oregon.us/central.php
Action Taking: March 20th Action=For Kucitizens, action is parallel but seperate from JNWC volunteers. For Kucitizens, the variety of choices would be to (1) simply hang door-hangers on registered Democrat's doors per the walking lists supplied by Mark Mason, (2) Conduct the survey that Mark developed, or (3) pass out the JNWC literature door-to-door, or (4) set up a table somewhere to register voters and campaign for Dennis (the library is already spoken for). Be creative!

VOLUNTEER: We need someone to man a table at Cozmic Pizza, to distribute literature and coordinate canvassers into seperate neighborhoods for maximum coverage, for approximately the first hour from 1 to 2 PM, unless someone specifically says that they want to start later. If you have literature/signs/buttons/stickers to contribute to this table, bring it at 1 PM for sharing.

VOLUNTEER: I need several people to help carry the giant peace dove in shifts. It takes three people, ideally, although two may be able to manage it.
