In the 2008 Federal elections, voters will determine our President, our Vice
President, all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, and 35 U.S.
Senators. In state elections, voters will elect 11 governors, more than 6,500
state house and senate members, and countless mayors, regents, city council
members, boards of supervisors, county officials, and school board trustees.
Your vote can make a difference for our children and communities.
By exercising our democratic right to vote, we are able to give children a
voice. It is critical that all PTA members demonstrate their role as child
advocates by voting for candidates that for public office that support
children and public schools.
Encouraging our members to participate and vote in their local, state, and
national elections is a major PTA initiative this year. Parent involvement is
core to PTA's mission. PTA was founded as an advocacy organization over a
century ago. Voting and participating in our democracy is a fundamental part
of both parent involvement and advocacy.
Please take the time to vote. Our nation, now and in the future, needs to
hear your voice. Not sure where to vote? Visit VOTE411.org to find your local polling place.
