Hello Bus Riders!

Join us on Wednesday, October 3rd as we kick off a series of voter registration events in Long Branch. Join the Bus for Progress at the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Broadway at 10:30 AM. We'll be setting up a non-partisan table to register students entering Brookdale's satellite campus located here. We'll also register folks walking down Broadway. Also, we've been granted permission to set up a partisan table at the very busy Long Branch train station. The table will include signs for Obama/Menendez/Pallone. Have any other suggestions for a location with busy foot traffic?

On Saturday, October 6th we'll be visiting Asbury Park and Neptune. Join the Bus at the Asbury Park train station on Main Street and Cookman at 11 AM. We'll set up non-partisan tables at the station and other busy locations through town. Later in the afternoon, we'll move to set up on Cookman for First Night. It is also Zombie Crawl with lots of younger (walking dead) folks in town. It’s going to be really fun! Let us know if you can recommend any busy locations for us to set up a table. When we did this four years ago, we registered over 250 voters!

On Tuesday, October 9th, the bus is headed for at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft. Join the bus at 10 AM as we set up non-partisan tables in key locations on campus to register young student voters. We'll also hand out forms to Vote By Mail to students away from home. We'll be on campus till 3 PM. Four years ago, we registered over a hundred students!

Please come out and join us. The more volunteers we have, the more locations we can set up, and the more people we can interact with! Please RSVP to info@BusForProgress.org so we know how many people to expect.

Can't spend the entire day registering voters with us? No worries! Stop by for a few hours, or just one! Any time is appreciated! Don't forget to RSVP.

Hope to see you in the coming week!

Kathy, Boris and Andy

The voter registration form requires that a drivers license number or SS# be provided to verify citizenship and the form is itself a signed legal document.

The voter registration form is printed in Spanish as well as in English, so our government recognizes that many people who speak Spanish are citizens, even if you don’t.
