Everybody Is Doin' It In '04 (and we are soooo proud!)

Millions of VoterVirgins are making history in the 2004 election and it's really amazing to see! You are empowered, prepared to practice safe voting, and will not be denied at the polls. It's great to hear your voice as part of this event.

5 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
