In accordance with Pagan Unity Campaign's ongoing So Vote It Be campaign and our goal to keep the rights and freedoms of minority religions on the minds of the government representatives in Washington during this time of great change, the Pagan Unity Campaign will stage the 8th annual Imbolc campaign on February 4, 2009.
As has been done in previous years, we ask that all Pagans join voices and email, fax or telephone their elected officials during the first week of February to encourage support of religious tolerance, diversity and freedom. It only takes a few minutes to get involved, and serves as a simple yet powerful reminder of the importance of religious diversity in the country, as well as the presence of Pagan voters and other religious minorities throughout every district in the United States.
During this time, we would also ask that you send letters of support for religious diversity and tolerance to state and local media outlets in the hopes that our collective voice extends beyond our elected officials to the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens.
You may find contact information for your elected officials at the links below:
White House:

Senate:

--------sample email fax or phone call for the Imbolc campaign-----------
Dear Honorable Senator (or Representative) (add name);
We in the Pagan community of (your state or district) would like to encourage you as our (Senator or Representative) to support the causes of religious freedom and diversity as you carry out your duties in office over the coming years. Our country was founded upon the tenets of religious freedom and we must make a concerted effort to ensure religious diversity continues to thrive throughout our great nation in the coming years.
Sincerely,
(add name and city and state)
So Vote It Be!

Today is the Day!
If you have not already done so, today is the day to get to the polls
and let your voice be heard. Whatever happens today, this election
will be one of those historic elections that people will read about
for years to come. Do your part and exercise your right to vote!
If you do not know where your polling place is, you can check one of
the locators below.
Google's polling place locator (complete with maps):
http://maps. google.com/ vote
Vote411's polling place locator:
http://www.vote411. org/pollingplace bystate.php
GoVote locator: http://govote. org/
If you cannot find your polling place by any of these methods, check
with your country clerk or local board of elections. They can tell you
where you need to go!
Remember to take a photo ID and your voter registration card with you
to the polls just in case you need it. In some states, identification
is requested for those voting for the first time or voting after
having made changes to their registration. In others, identification
is required.
If you get to your polling place and are told you aren't eligible to
vote... ask for a provisional ballot. The provisional ballot is used
to record your vote if any questions should arise about eligibility.
Once election officials are able to check your eligibility, the
provisional ballot will be counted (if you are eligible to vote). If
you do cast a provisional ballot, you may want to check your state
guidelines to see if you will be required to do anything further once
the ballot is in. In some states, for instance, if you cast a
provisional ballot and do not provide proof of identity, you may be
required to provide that proof within a specific amount of time in
order for your ballot to be cast. Check with the Secretary of State
for more information on that!

Can You Smell It?!
Election season approaches. Can you smell it? Are you ready?
If you have not yet registered to vote, it may not be too late! You can check your state voter registration deadlines at: http://www.declareyourself.com/voting_faq/state_by_state_info_2.html
Already registered? You might want to consider early voting or absentee voting if you aren't sure you will be able to make it to the polls on election day! The Early Voting Information Center has a list of states that allow early and absentee voting as well as information about the state statutes allowing such. You can view their information at: http://earlyvoting.net/states/abslaws.php
You can also call your county clerk to find out when early voting opens in your state or to learn more about absentee voting.
If you're still undecided on the candidates, don't forget to tune into the presidential debates on September 26, October 2, October 7 and October 15. The debates begin at 9pm EST and last for 90 minutes. You can check out the debates on major broadcast networks (such as NBC or ABC) as well as on cable news outlets!
Remember, there is no excuse for apathy!

Pagans, like all Americans, are watching coverage of the Democratic and Republican conventions this week. Barak Obama has announced that Delaware Senator Joe Biden will be his choice for Vice President. John McCain has chosen Alaska governor, Sarah Palin as his choice for Vice President.
Both candidates have platforms that they believe, if implemented, will make America a stronger nation. And, like all Americans, Pagans are divided on both the issues and the candidates they support. One thing however, that we as Americans and as Pagans must not be divided on, is the importance of voting this November.
The Pagan Unity Campaign would like to encourage Pagans across the nation to educate themselves on both the candidates and the issues and then put that information to work and VOTE on Tuesday, November 4, 2008.
