VOTERS' REGISTRATION DRIVE TO BEGINREES FOR DC CITY COUNCIL WILL DO SOMETHING POSITIVE TO IMPROVE THE STATE OF DISTRICT POLITICS!Beginning January 2, 2006, Team Rees will be distributing 20,000 "Mail in Voter's Registration" forms to homes throughout Ward 3 to encourage the 3,000 estimated persons who are eligible to vote but have not registered to become a part of our voting population. Over a period of two years, we accumulated from around the city these "Mail In Voter's Registration" forms with the intent during this campaign to really drive home the point that your VOTE DOES COUNT and to bring in new voters to the process. We believe the low turn out rate in primaries and general elections is caused by many reason but mainly distrust by the public in their elected officials and a feeling that their vote does not count as elected officials are out for themselves. In other parts of the world, people are executed, intimidated and denied a right that we Americans take for granted and we won't appreciate this precious right until one day we don't have it or have it on a very superficial basis. TEAM REES will blanket Ward 3 with these "Mail in Voters' Registration Cards" along with our campaign advertisement which we believe voters will appreciate. If you live in Ward 3 and homebound due to age or disability, please contact TEAM REES and we will hand deliver to you a pre-paid, voter’s registration card by emailing us at admin@dc2006.net or call 202-361-3472.
