Why We Vote
The Register Star has brought together a group of people from all over the Rock River Valley to serve on our Election 2008 Voters’ Panel. These men and women are Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Green party members. Some are high school students. Some are retired. And some fall in between those two age groups. They all share this: The upcoming election is important and voters do have voices. They’ll share them in this blog.

About Why We Vote

The Register Star has brought together a group of people from all over the Rock River Valley to serve on our Election 2008 Voters’ Panel. These men and women are Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Green party members. Some are high school students. Some are retired. And some fall in between those two age groups. They all share this: The upcoming election is important and voters do have voices.

The group came together for the first time Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2008, and decided what topics — from health care to the Middle East — were important to them. We will base our coverage based on the topics outlined by the panel.

Some members of the panel have agreed to share their thoughts here on this blog. Feel free to interact with them by commenting on their posts.
