This November 5th, one year from Election Day 2014, the Teamsters will have a Day of Action across the country to register Teamster members to vote.<br /><br />Here are a few reasons why <a href="http://registertovote.org/index.html">you should register</a> and show up on November 5.<br /><br /><b>Your opinion matters.</b><br />People think that you are important and intelligent enough to make serious decisions about how your community works.  Don’t mess that up.<br /><br /><b>Get free stuff.</b><br />People who vote get more attention from candidates, including free bumper stickers, free t-shirts, and invitations to events (with free food). Not to mention your election day sticker - and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/05/z-burger-election-giveaway_n_2078313.html" rel="nofollow">the free burger that could come with it</a>.<br /><br /><b>Not voting is embarrassing </b><br />Whether you voted or not in an election is part of your public record. Anyone – your friends, kids, or mother – can see if you’ve voted or not.<br /><br /><b>Meet somebody new.</b><br />Between work, home life, and the commute, life can get repetitive.  If you want to meet new people, what better place to find a civic-minded new friend than at the polls?<br /><br /><b>But seriously, your voice matters</b>.<br />Voters have way more impact in odd-year elections because smaller elections are often decided by less than 100 votes. If you are ever going to vote, this is the time.<br /><br />Rock the vote on November 5th!  <a href="http://www.rockthevote.org/">Get registered today</a>.
