National Voter Registration Day

voteSedona AZ (September 24, 2013) – The following SedonaEye.com letter to the editor encourages voter registration. You may also click here ServiceAZ for Arizona voter registration:

Today is National Voter Registration Day. Although it’s not a presidential election year, there are still 1,500 statewide and local races, as well as ballot initiatives that will be decided in 2013 alone. And even if you don’t have an election that’s important in your community, but are one of the millions of Americans who have turned 18, know someone who has turned 18, moved, or didn’t vote in 2012, now is the time to register or SHARE this voter registration tool with your friends.

What does voter registration have to do with student debt you might ask? A lot. First, it’s important that we elect representatives who will lower the burden of education costs, and look at ways to aid current and future borrowers. Second, it’s important to show existing legislators that people with student debt vote, and that we’re a vocal constituency with power and influence. And third, many of the solutions to the student debt crisis are only available via the legislative process. If we don’t vote, we opt out.

Now is the time to assert our strength, and the first step is making sure all of our friends and family register to vote.

We won’t have a voice unless we use it.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Now, let’s all register to vote!

Sincerely,

Robert Applebaum

The StudentDebtCrisis.org Team
