How can you join in?

Right now: Invite 2 friends to join you when you go to vote on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, and invite friends who have voted to celebrate with you afterward. 

That's it.

Easy as pie! American pie.

In other words: vote with a couple of friends, and have a party/celebration with them after.

We've included a sample invitation in this website.

Why?

We are more likely do to things, and keep doing them, if we do them with friends.  So, let's change the way we vote.  Let's vote with friends!  And celebrate after with friends who have voted.

We believe that election day should be at least as much a celebration of our country as July 4th.  July 4th has parades, families and friends, bbqs and fireworks.  Voting is arguably a more important celebration of what America is all about.  America is a representative democracy formed and maintained by people actively caring and building.  We should all vote, and we should make it a celebration of our love for America.

Please Vote Love America wants to help spark a sea change in the way people vote and think about voting.  Many registered voters don't vote at all.  When people do vote, too often we see solo people walking in and out of polling places.  If there's a line, they stand it the line solo like waiting for a red light to change.  The biggest celebretion after voting seems to be wearing a sticker that says "I Voted."

Are we asking you for money? No. How much do we have in the bank? Maybe $10. The point isn't about money. 

The point is to vote with friends, and celebrate it with friends! 

Vote, chat, eat, drink, Be merry. Celebrate! Celebrate your love for America by voting with friends.

America is, at its core, all about each and every registered voter participating by actively exercising their right to vote. 

What if I don't like any candidate on the ballot?

That's no excuse! 

First, voting is first and foremost about supporting and loving America,  
Second, there are always multiple candidates and generally other items to vote for on each ballot. 
Third, there's always a place to write in someone else's name. 
Fourth, your friends may have some ideas on who or what to vote for. 
Fifth, you may not be invited to join your friends who do vote for their after-voting celebration.

What if I haven't done my research on who and what is on the ballot?

That's also no excuse.

First, voting is first and foremost about supporting and loving America,  Just you showing up at the polling place and submitting a ballot is mission-critical to America.
Second, you probably have a phone that you can use to do a quick search on your way to vote.
Third, this site lets you build your ballot:  www.vote411.org.
Third, if you vote with friends, they can give you pointers, and you can research together on your way to vote.
Fourth, you don't have to fill in every part of the ballot.

What if I don't know if I'm registered to vote or not.

That's also no excuse.

First, here's a great one-stop-shop where you can get the information you need:  www.vote411.org.
Second, just go to your voting place on election day, and ask if your name is on the roll.

What if I don't know where to go to vote?

That's also no excuse.

First, here's a great one-stop-shop where you can get the information you need:  www.vote411.org.
Second, ask your voting friends where to go.
Third, ask a neighbor.
Fourth, you can call your local city government.

What if I'm not registered to vote?

First, if you are eligible, then get registered asap.  You can use this site to find out more about registering:  www.vote411.org.
If you are too late for the next election day, then at least you'll be ready for the one after that.
Second, whether you are registered or not, you can still encourage all your friends who are registered to go vote, and to celebrate after.  So you can still have a very big impact on the election.

What are some statistics about percentages of registered voters who vote?

There's a great set of information right here.  The bottom line is that about 40% of registered voters do not vote.  That's almost half of all Americans who are registered to vote and who are choosing not to vote for one reason or another.
