Why Vote Tuesday?

American voter participation is terrible, and has been for half a century. Recent laws rolling back voting rights haven’t made things any better. Our Executive Director Jacob Soboroff teamed up with Participant Media’s TakePart.com and hit the road to track down 2012 GOP presidential candidates Romney, Gingrich and Santorum to ask them how they’d protect your right to vote. Watch Jacob’s journey in this short film, then join our movement by signing our petition to move Election Day to the weekend so more people can vote.
