NEW PUBLICATIONS IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE ONLINE
The Second Session of the 110th Congress is now underway and major political parties are currently in the process of selecting their candidates for Congress and President. Now more than ever, it is imperative that everyone does his or her part in the electoral process in GETTING OUT THE VOTE!
The American Legion recently released two new publications for distribution to the public throughout the 2008 elections. The American Legion, VOTE America '08, Guide to Promoting the "Get Out The Vote" Program encourages voter registration, voter education, and voter participation in all elections. This pamphlet suggests activities on how American Legion Posts can increase the turnout. Veterans traditionally respond to this call to become actively involved in the electoral process and are the most likely to cast their ballots on Election Day. The American Legion's goal is to encourage more Americans, especially veterans and the military family abroad, to vote.
The other pamphlet entitled The American Legion, Policy on Illegal Immigration, A Strategy To Address Illegal Immigration In The United States offers The American Legion's assessment of illegal immigration and a strategy on how to effectively address this issue. Everyone is encouraged to read and understand this booklet as illegal immigration will be one of the most fiercely contested issues in many states and congressional elections, as well as the presidential campaign.
Both pamphlet are available for downloading on The American Legion website at www.legion.org. Click on the Publications & Resources icon and scroll down the Publications page to the Public Relations section.
Hard copies may be obtained through The American Legion Americanism, Children & Youth Division, Post Office Box 1055, Indianapolis, IN 46206. You may also make requests via phone at 317-630-1203 or send email to acy@legion.org
Everyone is strongly encouraged to "spread the word" about these pamphlets and their availability for use during the 2008 campaign season.
