It is hard to believe but Early Vote begins tomorrow, July 16th. You can vote tomorrow from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Election Commission, which is located at 800 2nd Avenue South.

Almost half of the votes in this election will be cast early, so it is very important to show your support at the Election Commission as soon as possible.

Remember to Vote Jeff Yarbro and ask your friends to do the same. See you at the polls!

Early voting for the 2010 Democratic Primary begins in just 89 hours. Our momentum is building, and we’re about to take a critical step toward bringing new leadership to the State Senate.

Tennesseans are frustrated by being at the bottom of every national ranking.  We know that our legislature must move past the small, sideshow politics of the extreme right.  It’s time to lead on the issues that matter most – reforming our schools, improving our health care, and creating jobs.  It’s time to reach higher.

Join us this week and help us make a difference in the future our state.

Yesterday—exactly one month before the August 5 election—we launched our first TV ad of the primary campaign. Voters across the 21st District are starting to pay attention because they know that we can’t wait any longer to move past the small politics that have dominated our legislature in recent years.

Early voting begins in just ten days, and voters face a real choice that will affect the direction of our state for the next four years. From my conversations with voters and as a father myself, I know that we cannot build the future our children deserve while consistently sitting at the bottom of national education rankings. Right now, we have an unparalleled opportunity to lead the nation in education reform, but it’s not going to happen without serious, forward-thinking leadership. It’s time to reach higher.

Today is the last day for new voters to register to vote in the August 5 election. If you, your friends or neighbors have not yet registered to vote in the 21st District, please visit the Davidson County Election Commission Web site (www.nashville.gov/vote) and download a voter registration application. Return your application to the Election Commission (800 2nd Ave N) by 5 p.m. today.

Election day is fast approaching. Only with your help can we reach the voters who will decide this election. With each person you call, each door you knock, and each hour you volunteer, you will contact the voter who chooses our next State Senator. Visit yarbro2010.com to take action.

Thank you for your continued support. With your hard work we will Get Out The Vote between now and August 5!

Best,

Jeff Yarbro

P.S. We need your support to continue to spread the word! Help by forwarding this video to friends, or consider making a secure, online contribution to our campaign today. Every dollar we raise from now to August 5 will go straight to the airwaves!
