Obama "Gotta Vote" Project Comes to Area Saturday

Volunteers supporting President Barack Obama's reelection will gather in Allentown on Saturday, June 16 as part of a statewide "Gotta Vote" project.

Organizing for America Pennsylvania (OFA PA) volunteers and community leaders will host voter registration drives in communities across the state to talk to people one-on-one about what’s at stake in the presidential election and remind them of the importance of making their voices heard in November.

In Allentown, volunteers will gather at the Allentown OFA PA Office at 1031 W Linden Street to register voters and educate people about the latest voter registration and voting laws.

Saturday's event is timed to coincide with a Pennsylvania visit by GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

GottaVote.org is a one-stop shop for getting the facts on voting, reminders for key dates and deadlines, and alerts on the status of voting rights in your state.
