Robert Boyer and supporters
served bar-b-que beef sandwiches
and soft drinks at the Voter Regis
tration Picnic held on Sunday, April
25th at Peninsula Park.
Boyer stated, ’ ’ Most Americans
take the right to vote for granted.
There are many giving lip service to
the slogan, ’ Register to vote,’ but
few are actually taking the time to
explain the basic fundamentals of
filling out a voter registration card.
Many would be surprised at the
myths which some take for truth re
garding voting. One young woman
stated she had never registered to
vote because she thought it meant
you had to vote in every election,
large or small, from that point on
and she wasn’t ready to make that
kind o f commitment. Others
thought they were registered even
though they had moved since they
had a card. They did not know they
had to re-register when changing
their names or changing places of
residence.”
