It is time to REV-Up! Voting is powerful. Voting is responsible and is a privilege. But you can’t vote if you don’t register. The 2008 Primary Election voter registration deadline is this Thursday, August 21st by 4:30pm. Let’s not repeat what happened in 2004 when Hawaii had the lowest voter registration of any state in the US. With the numerous and easy avenues that are now available in which to register, there is no excuse. Additionally, as business leaders we must commit to taking a proactive role and encourage our employees to register, help educate them on the issues and remind them of the importance of their individual vote. Let’s make it easy for our employees to register and then continue to encourage them to follow through at election time. The success of our businesses depends on using our voice and encouraging our employees to use their voice to make positive change and progress in the State of Hawaii. It is our job as leaders and Americans to take charge and make a difference.
So REV-Up • REGISTER to Vote • EDUCATE yourself and your employees on the candidates • VOTE
