Voting awareness

I wanted to create a group to talk about things that are happening that affect us politically.  I think we all need to be smart and active voters, and i hope that starting this group will help to facilitate that for the south west.  This group is about sharing opinions and ideas.  Its good to share feelings about the elected officials who represent us, but this really isn't the place to campaign for someone or flat out lambast the people you dislike.The more active and aware we are in regards…See More

Our Neighborhood Merchants

The objective of this group is to introduce residents of the SW Quadrant to the businesses in their community with the hope that if they are more aware of them they will patronize them more.  We also want to encourage business owners to adapt the the goods and services they offer to serve the needs of a broadened clientele.See More

hey i'm interested in doing voter registration in the northeast.  I work out between clinton and remington and all the people i pass don't look like they vote.  Do you happen to know if there is anything i have to do (i.e. certifications, trainings), in order to do that?  I'd also want to know find out where the voting districts are.  Any county offices i should be in contact with?
