 What is Freedom's Answer? 
If you've ever wanted to get involved in the elections or voter registration, Freedom's Answer says now is the time. Why are we talking about voter registration now, when the elections are eons away?Glad you asked. May is Voter Registration Month and Freedom's Answer is kicking off their campaign to register the largest number of voters in a non-election year, ever. Their goal is pretty lofty--76 million voters in November, including new registrants--but the organization has a plan, and it involves you.
Here's what else you can do:  On Election Day they want you to go to the polls -- especially if you're too young to vote, so you can make NOISE as a poll worker. You'll hand out information, explain the voting process to new or confused voters, and describe how the polling machines work. Two cool ideas they have for getting out the vote are Take 10 and Adopt a Block. All you have to do to Take 10 is to find ten people and make sure they vote, a simple act that could have a huge impact. If you Adopt a Block that means you are going to contact every home on your assigned block to make sure that every potential voter is registered and then goes to the polls.Freedom's Answer is a non-partisan campaign. You won't hear them saying "vote Republican" or "vote Democrat." They just want people to vote -- simple as that. YOUTH NOISE is proud to be a sponsor of Freedom's Answer.
