Register to Vote CONUS or OCONUS

In the CONUS you can visit your State's Election Website. Most sites now have the ability to fill out and print your voter registration online and mail it in to the address provided on your printout.

You can use this PDF Postcard Form and Guide no matter what state you are in. Or visit your State's Voter Registration site. I've complied a list of links for each state below. 

Alright Here We Go...

ALABAMA, ALASKA, ARIZONA, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO,

CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, IDAHO, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, LOUISIANA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSISSIPPI, MISSOURI, MONTANA, NEBRASKA, NEVADA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW MEXICO, NEW YORK, NORTH CAROLINA, NORTH DAKOTA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, OREGON, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA, SOUTH DAKOTA, TENNESSEE, TEXAS, UTAH, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, WASHINGTON, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, WYOMING

That took some time to compile, but if it helps one person register to vote it was more than worth the time :)

Finally,

If you are OCONUS (Outside the Continental United States) a great place to get started would be the Federal Voting Assistance Program.  

All military units have voting assistance officers, and each American embassy or consulate can help U.S. citizens exercise their rights to vote.

LT Jason Watkins is the Navy's Service Voting Action Officer He provides assistance concerning unique questions and/or problems for navy personnel and their families that is covered by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.

Contact your local installation Voting Assistance Officer. If you are unable to obtain information locally, contact the LT Jason Watkins, (901) 874-6647,DSN: 882-6647, Option 5, toll free: 1-866-827-5672, Option 6 or Fax: (901) 874-6844, DSN 882-6844

September is National Preparedness Month

“National Preparedness Month is an important reminder about each American’s civic responsibility to prepare for emergencies,” said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

Are there recourses specifically for Navy Families? What is Operation Prepare?

Operation Prepare, a fleet-wide education and awareness campaign on emergency preparedness, provides Navy family members with valuable tools and resources to help them be more prepared in the event of natural disasters. 

Operation Prepare provides emergency preparedness tools and resources online at www.cnic.navy.mil. From facts sheets on various disasters—natural and manmade hazards, fast-spreading diseases and terrorist events—to planning forms and an emergency supplies checklist, preparing for all types of emergencies has never been easier. All materials are tailored for the Navy and are consistent with information from myriad sources such as the American Red Cross, Centers for Disease Control, Federal Emergency Management Agency and Department of Homeland Security.
