Road to Somewhere

We are no longer asking people to make phone calls or write postcards - just get out and vote! Thank you for all of your time and energy during the last few months. Volunteers like you have made thousands of phone calls and sent tens of thousands of postcards using this web site. Your efforts will definitely get out the vote this election!

The Maryland Chapter gets on the Road to Somewhere in Philadelphia

Thank you for getting involved in the Sierra Club's Environmental Voter Education Campaign (EVEC). With your help, we will contact thousands of voters and provide them with valuable information about the candidates' environmental records and positions and encourage them to vote on Election Day.

In 2000, hundreds of thousands of committed environmental supporters did not vote in the presidential election. In many states, just a few hundred or a few thousand votes decided the election. We're confident that environmental voters can make a difference in 2004 and that's what the EVEC program is all about.

What will get these voters to the polls? Personal, one on one contact. The best type of political contact is person to person, neighbor to neighbor. With your help we will talk to thousands of voters on the phone and at their doors. We will talk to them about George W. Bush and John Kerry's records on the environment and encourage them to vote on Election Day. This program can only succeed with your help.

Our goal is to contact each voter at least once per week in the six weeks leading up to the election. In the final four days, we will engage in a Get-Out-the-Vote effort which will use mail, phone banks and in-person conversations to maximize turnout at the polls.

This is where you can help. You can help by making calls, organizing a mailing party, or take a road trip this fall to help with on-the-ground efforts in a nearby state. There is something to meet your needs in the Road to Somewhere program.
