November 4th brought historic change to our country, but it left Georgia with a little extra work to do. On November 4th, several candidates did not top the state-required 50% of the vote. Tuesday, December 2nd, there will be a Runoff Election that includes several statewide races as well as dozens of local and county runoffs from around the state.

Once again, it is going to be the Youth Vote that makes the difference in which candidate will win. Natiowide, on November 4th, Young Voters came out in record numbers to support Democrats, we need to do it one more time. YOU have the power to change this election for Democrats. Here's what we, as Young Democrats, can do over the next 2 weeks.

1. Pledge-to-Vote Online at www.georgiayds.org. After you have pledged, use the forward option to send an invitation to Pledge-to-Vote Democratic on December 2nd to at least 5 of your friends. You might be the ONLY person who can talk to your friends about voting for Democrats on December 2nd. Take this opportunity now! Pledge-to-Vote and then ask your friends to pledge to vote. You can also use Myspace bulletins, facebook status and wall messages and personal text messaging as well. Use the tell-a-friend option to send your friends to www.georgiayds.org to pledge to vote today. You'll be able to track which of your friends that you have forwarded the invite to have taken the pledge as well as provide them with links to information about voting.

2.  Hold a phone bank of your own, either with friends, or at your chapter, to call other Young Voters in Georgia. YDG will take care of the materials and numbers, we just need you and at least 3 or 4 other volunteers. Contact Tim at tim@georgiayds.org or 404-584-5855 to setup a date/time for your phone bank today anywhere in the state. 

3. Volunteer some of your time with campaigns - you can signup online with the Democratic Party at www.georgiademocrat.org/volunteer

4. Still have questions about what to do? Go back to #1 above :-)

Let's turn out the Youth Vote for Democrats on Tuesday December 2nd!
