Last day to register to vote in primary A very small percentage of people are voting in the primaries so one vote really does make a difference. In TN kerry got 10% of registered dems vote- nobody is voting! Please get everyone you can to go to the low income communities and get them to register to vote today! Tell them that Al Sharpton and Dennis Kucinich are the ones that will change the system and fight for them. Kerry/Dean/Edwards are do-nothing phonies.
last day to register before primary
