THE WORD:
September has been an incredible month.
The RV Caravan made it all the way to Florida, where we registered
well over our goal of 538 new non-Republican Florida voters; Tracy
Chapman announced a tour to benefit DV; USA Today, the Village Voice
and Mother Jones all ran articles on Driving Votes, Chuck D
interviewed our founder and director on Air America; and America
Coming Together partnered with Driving Votes for last weekend's
National Election Action Day.
Here are the details:
THE RV CARAVAN COMPLETES ITS CROSS-COUNTRY TOUR
3 weeks, 5 swing states, and 1000s of new voters. We can't stop
reading the amazing blogs with stories from people we met along the
way. Bet you can't stop either:

AMERICA COMING TOGETHER PARTNERS WITH DRIVING VOTES
This past weekend, ACT sponsored 5 Driving Votes bus trips to swing states
around the country! We delivered almost 200 DV volunteers to ACT's
National Election Action Day! Check out the trip blog:

TRACY CHAPMAN BENEFIT TOUR FOR DRIVING VOTES!
That's right--the woman who brought us hits about fast cars is doing a
West Coast benefit tour for Driving Votes! This is incredibly
exciting--mostly because she approached Driving Votes! The word is
out--visiting a swing state with Driving Votes is the most effective
way to get Bush out ofoffice. More on the tour at:
