Get Out The Vote (GOTV)

We are a nation of many voices, and on Election Day, every voice counts.  The American Chemistry Council encourages you to make YOUR voice heard by being a registered, educated and active voter!

2008 is a critical election year.  All 435 seats of the U.S. House of Representatives and 35 U.S. Senate seats will be decided.  Eleven states will choose governors.  And, of course, on November 4, 2008, our nation will also choose a new President.

Will you be ready to Impact Chemistry?
