the applicant, and mailed in an envelope with first class postage.
In completing this application, be sure to follow the General
Instructions as well as the Application Instructions and specific State
Instructions for your State which include the address to use for mailing the

The world we live in can be a scary place at times. I'm a grandmother who
wonders whether or not my beloved grandsons may have to go to war. I'm a
daughter who worried because my mother had to pay exorbitant prices for
prescription medicines. I'm a single person who wonders whether or not Social
Security will be there to help me live a quality life when I retire. I'm a
citizen who worries about global warming and the war in Iraq.
It's easy to hide in our Hobbit holes and pretend that we really don't
matter. But the fact is... we do matter. There are things we can do to that will
make the world a better place for all of us to live in. ONE VOTE CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE. John F. Kennedy was elected by a mandate of only one vote per
district.
Please be part of the 'Hobbits for Voter Registration' campaign. By
following the links provided here and on the
links page and registering to vote, you can become an active participant in
your own life. Help yourself to the LJ Icons and banners that are on the
Icons and
Banners page. And if you make your own... please share them with us!
All of us who are Sean Astin fans know of his commitment to
volunteerism and community service. We here at SANET wish to honor his
dedication to these worthy endeavors. That is why this website exists. That is
why this page exists. Let's remember what Sam said: 'There's some good in
this world, and it's worth fighting for!" Let's begin to fight for
OUR
good!
