Still Time to Register to Vote

The deadline to register to vote in this year’s election is October 12th.

As I’m sure you know, we are just 25 days away from another important Election Day.    Just two years ago, Virginians from across the Commonwealth came together and helped elect President Obama, Senator Warner, and our outstanding Democratic congressmen.    Virginia Democrats have come a long way, but this year the Republicans are certain that they are poised to win big in November and erase the progress we’ve worked so hard for.

If you support President Obama and don’t want the Republicans to take us backward, make sure you get to the polls this November and vote for the Democrats who have been working hard for us since we elected them in 2008.     The deadline to register to vote in this year’s election is October 12th.    If you aren’t sure if you’re registered you can check your status by clicking here.

If you have recently changed your address or moved since you last registered to vote, you have until October 12th to  re-register in order to make your voice heard in this year’s elections.

Finally, if you are not available to vote on Election Day, you can still vote early by mail by applying for an ABSENTEE BALLOT or vote in person at your local voter registrar’s office.

After all we’ve accomplished, we’ve still got a lot of work to do. Vote on November 2nd to stand with President Obama and the hard-working Democrats who are out there fighting to create jobs and make life better for every Virginia family.

Tom Perriello

Not Bought and Paid For Like Hurt

Tom Perriello Remarks at Barack Obama Rally, Lynchburg, VA , EC Glass High School Gym.     The Liberty republicans refused to let people park at the Plaza and the City hurridly arranged bus transport from City Stadium to the High School for people wishing to see Obama.     The crowd was overflow.     2,000 plus in the gym and 3,000 plus outside.     Loudspeakers were set up outside so the crowd could hear Obam and Perriello speak.      Of course it all turned out well, Obama became President and Perriello won and went to Congress and Jerry Jr. did his religous bit for the republican party by making it more difficult for the democrats to attend the rally.     Click to see.

We’ve got some exciting news here at IAVA HQ.



We've teamed up with JCPenney and Joseph Abboud to launch “Welcome Home Joe,” a program that starts today and will give away $1 million in professional attire to Iraq and Afghanistan vets transitioning from combat to career – all for free.


Do you know a veteran of Iraq or Afghanistan? Please take a minute to forward this email so they have a chance to receive a $200 certificate for professional attire through The Rucksack.


This is another groundbreaking way that IAVA is working with our partners to help new veterans get jobs by giving them the tools they need.
