font-family:Arial'>Hi, everyone. Just when you thought you were done with Voter
Service (temporarily – we’re never done), I am reminding you that
the Voter Service surveys were due to the League Office on December 1<sup>st</sup>.
Thanks to all of you who have already responded. As you probably remember, I do
summarize the surveys, League by League, and distribute the summary, so please
don’t miss out on the chance to tell us all about the great activities
you conducted this fall in this local election year. We’re looking at our
empty chair debate policy, so any experiences you had locally with troublesome
candidate forums and debates would be of great interest. The survey is
attached. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Also, I’m preparing to add another brochure to the “Your
Right to Vote in NYS” series for military voters. If your League has what
you think is a good write-up for these voters, I’d love to see it. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Also, we are starting conversations with media partners soon
on the 2010 elections and the possibility of state-wide broadcasts of debates
for state-wide offices. If you have suggestions on how we approach these
conversations and what degree of involvement you would like to have locally,
let me know. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
