IFB Sends Email Reminder to Vote

More than 15 million voters have voluntarily signed up to receive emails from either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, making email a powerful tool during this election. Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) is tapping into this power, too.

Today, Illinois Farm Bureau President Philip Nelson will email numerous IFB members -both farmers and non-farmers. But instead of asking for campaign donations, Nelson asks these men and women to join him at the polls - as informed voters!

In his email, Nelson says, "With the number and magnitude of the issues facing our country, I believe this is one of the most important elections ever. I encourage all of you to be a part of the process. Become informed on the issues and the candidates running for office."

He adds, "Voting is not only the way to shape your future, but also the future of our country.  Do your part.  Do your duty.  Become familiar with the issues and the candidates, and then please vote on November 6!"

To make it easier to be a voter in the know, IFB has created an online portal with useful voter information on voting procedures, your legislative districts, presidential candidates' positions on issues important to American agriculture, and more.  (Would you like to get important emails in the future, such as voter information? Then sign up with IFB today.)

Remember, it's your vote, your future. Vote next Tuesday, November 6.
