 Our
Count
to Five campaign urges CLUW members to talk to at least 5 women about working women's issues and the November 4 election. If everyone does this we'll turn out 100,000 or more women to vote.
CLUW is making a special effort to reach out to as many working women as possible to make sure they learn about the 5 issues that we feel are important to working women: Economic Security, Health Care, Education, Social Security and Retirement, and an End to the War in Iraq. We want to make sure that working women vote in the November 4 general election so their voices on these issues will be heard.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
1. Find five… Friends, neighbors, family members, co-workers or members of your religious institution who will commit to voting for working women’s issues in the November 4 general election.
2. Record their names… We want to count our votes. After you secure a commitment from your five supporters, record their names and phone numbers and provide a copy to the CLUW Campaign Coordinator/Chapter President by using the Here Are My Count to 5! Names form on page 3. (Names and phone numbers will not be released to anyone other than CLUW and will not be used for any other purpose other than Count to 5 Campaign)
3. Find the method… Are they going to vote absentee ballot? If so, help them get a ballot. Are they going to need a ride to the polls? If so, give them a ride or call the CLUW Campaign Coordinator/Chapter President to help arrange it.
4. Find the polls… If they need help identifying their polling place, assist them by either calling their local clerk or the CLUW Chapter Campaign Coordinator/Chapter President.
5. Call your five supporters on Election Day… After you vote on Election Day, call your five supporters and make sure they vote!
If everyone reading this takes these five simple steps, we will be able to identify 100,000 votes before Election Day.
