Vote by 11/4 & Poverty Action Endorsements

This is a message from Statewide Poverty Action Network, which is the advocacy wing of Solid Ground. They build grassroots power to end causes of poverty and create opportunities for everyone to prosper. I want to encourage you to turn in your ballots on or before Election Day, which is Tuesday, November 4th.

In 2014, there are several elected officials you will be voting for, which include, federal, statewide, and local officials. Additionally, Washington has several statewide initiatives on the ballot, and Poverty Action is taking a stand on two of them. The two initiatives are Initiative 594, which would make gun sales safer, and Initiative 591 that would make gun sales less safe. Poverty Action is asking folks to Vote YES on Initiative 594, and Vote NO on Initative 591.

If you live in Seattle, please Vote YES on Proposition 1, which will preserve bus lines and reinstate some routes that have been cut.

For more information about your candidates and the ballot measures, please call Poverty Action at 206-694-6794 or go to www.povertyaction.org/voterguide.

Washington State votes entirely by mail. If you are registered to vote but have not received your ballot in the mail, you can call 206-296-VOTE to get it resent.  Your ballot must be postmarked or placed in a ballot drop box by 8pm on Tuesday, November 5th. If you don’t have a stamp, there are 10 permanent ballot drop boxes and temporary collection points (vans) located around King County. Call 206-296-VOTE (that’s 206-296-8683) to find a drop box close to you.

Your vote will make a difference. We hope you will take a stand for what you believe in and vote on November 4^th. If you have questions about this message you can call Poverty Action at 206-694-6794. Happy Voting!
