What can we as Pagans do to in order to achieve equanimity in the treatment of our faith in America today?

Vote for our rights!

But first you must register to vote!

With the 2008 primary elections quickly approaching, the Pagan Unity Campaign, as part of our ongoing 'SO VOTE IT BE' voter registration and education campaign, would like to encourage the entire Pagan community to get out and register to vote in the upcoming primary elections. This is an excellent opportunity for the Pagan community to get in gear for the all-important upcoming presidential election in November of 2008.

Take part in shaping our world and how you will be treated in it. At this point in time, we are governed by an administration that is controlled by a number of fundamentalist Christians. They would love to see the Separation of church and state become an idea of the past, have first amendment rights removed from the Constitution, and tell us who and how we can worship. If we do not act now we may not be free to act later.

One very important step in maintaining our freedoms is registering and voting in the upcoming elections for the candidates and the issues that we support. Know your candidates and their views on the issues that are important to you. If you are not certain on their views (such as where they stand on religious freedom), look them up online or write the candidates themselves and ask for specifics. Let them know that you will only support and vote for those candidates willing to be a voice for the Constitutional right to religious freedom for all faiths.

In the words of one of the USA's foremothers; "We can make a manifestation by going to the polls, at each returning election." Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902)

Please join PUC in helping the Pagan community become a voting block to be heard and listened to in the coming elections. Let the voices of Pagan voters be heard loud and clear. Let the candidates know that we will be heard and that we will stand up for our rights! Help us ensure that as many of us as possible are registered so in 2008 we can SO VOTE IT BE by registering to vote now!

"I am not going to question your opinions. I am not going to meddle with your belief. I am not going to dictate to you mine. All that I say is, examine, inquire. Look into the nature of things. Search out the grounds of your opinions, the for and the against. Know why you believe, understand what you believe, and possess a reason for the faith that is in you." ~Frances Wright
