PA State Nurses Association Launches New Voter Registration Campaign Targeting PA Nurses
PANursesVote.org, a new voter registration initiative by the PA State Nurses Association, today officially launched its new website encouraging nurses to vote in this upcoming election through its quick and easy online voter registration form.
Harrisburg, PA (PRWEB) July 19, 2004 -- The PA State Nurses Association
believes that through offering nurses the tools to turn awareness into action,
in a nonpartisan format, each nurse, no matter what party affiliation, will
hopefully continue to stay aware and vocal in the nursing community.
“With one out of every 64 PA residents being a nurse, there is an
opportunity for nurses to increase the influence they hold in the minds of their
state representatives through increasing their numbers at the polls in this
upcoming Presidential election,” said Michele Campbell, MSN, RNC and executive
administrator for the PA State Nurses Association. “Our hope is to increase the
number of nurses voting, so to unify our voice at the polls and send the message
that our profession is a heavyweight.”
PA Nurses’ new voter registration
initiative targets PA nurses, however all PA residents may utilize the website
to register to vote or update registration information.
“People often
ask me if one vote really makes a difference,” said Rep. Mary Ann Dailey. “In my
first primary election, I defeated the endorsed Republican candidate by a margin
of only four votes. So, you see every vote does count!”
While registering
to vote at www.panursesvote.org, visitors may also opt-in for a bi-weekly
voter newsletter, covering information pertaining to the nursing industry and
health care at the state, local and national levels.
