Have you ever been frustrated by the decisions made or laws
passed by local, state or federal policymakers? Are you concerned with poor
road quality, traffic congestion and distracted driving...things that affect
your freedom of mobility and safety? Do you think that your voice isn’t
heard amid the clamoring chatter of special interests?
If you answered “yes,” you are not alone. So
what’s the solution? Get involved! In an election year featuring a race
for governor and many other statewide offices, your involvement is more
important than ever. Political races can be won or lost by only a few votes. It
really is up to “We The People...” to elect or re-elect leaders who
can make a difference.
Here’s how you can help…And how we can help you:
Register to vote. Nearly 25 percent of those eligible still
aren’t registered to vote. The deadline for registering in the General
Election is Oct. 10.
Learn about the candidates and issues. Get educated about
who’s running for office and understand their positions on issues of
importance to you. Read about proposed amendments to your state’s
constitution; these proposals are often too complex to digest in the voting
booth.

This website is your one-stop interactive resource for political action,
education and involvement. With aaa.com/vote,
we’ve made it easy for you to register to vote, learn about the
candidates, and contact your state, federal and local elected officials. On
issues that you’ve told us are important to you, we will provide updates
on pending legislation and even suggest message points, should you wish to make
your position known.
Auto Club South is your trusted and vocal advocate in the state
legislature and, through AAA’s offices in Washington, DC, represents your
interests in Congress.
