Vote Early

An alert from President Bush:
The election is less than seven weeks away and our momentum is building.  As I travel the country, the crowds are big and the mood is upbeat.  There is real excitement for our agenda, and I know that this enthusiasm will mean a tremendous turnout.


On Election Day, you may be one of many who will be working the polls, driving voters to their polling locations, or making Get Out the Vote calls.  Our message must be: No matter what you're doing, be sure to vote.  The stakes are high.


Starting today, you can request your ballot by mail, and soon you can cast an early ballot at early vote locations in your area.  If you're going to be busy on November 2nd, I encourage you to take this opportunity and vote early.  There's even a special page on our campaign website to make the process easier.

Using this link, you can get your Absentee/By Mail ballot request or find a list of early voting locations near you.  By casting your vote early, you can avoid lines at the polls on Election Day and still be sure your voice is heard in this important election.


This election is critical for our nation. 


The choice is between winning the war on terror by defending the homeland, taking the battle to the terrorists and fighting them where they live and train - or retreating to a pre-9/11 worldview that treats acts of terrorism as a law enforcement issue.


The choice is between a practical approach that puts doctors and patients in control of health care decisions or a government-run system that would cost more than $1.5 trillion and put bureaucrats in charge.


The choice is between an economic agenda that recognizes America's economy is growing, but can do more, or an agenda that raises taxes, increases regulations and stifles our economic recovery.


Your vote is important to winning and to building a safer world and a more hopeful America.  I hope you will take the opportunity to vote early - either by mail or in person.
