[AAACE-NLA] Literacy President 2008: Vote for the questions to ask the candidates for President

[Jackie Taylor]

Hello All,
  I'd like to add a couple of things to David's update. For those who would like to help increase student involvement in the Literacy President survey, some tips can be found by visiting http://www.litpresident.org/ , and clicking on "Survey Tips" in the lefthand toolbar. There you'll see strategies listed for helping students who may either have difficulty with the language in the survey or who want to gain more background knowledge about the questions.
   
  Secondly, I've attached the flyer we distributed at COABE in Houston. I hope the flyer is useful to you in promoting program and state participation in the nonpartisan Literacy President initiative. Please help spread the word.
   
  Thanks! Jackie

  Dear Colleague,

The nonpartisan Literacy President Survey is off to a good start. We 
now have over 325 people who have voted on the questions to ask the 
candidates for President. The top state, way in the lead, is 
Pennsylvania, with over 68 votes. Next is California with 28, 
Illinois with 15, then Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and 
New Jersey. We have a way to go to reach our goal of 1500. And 
currently only one student has voted, so we need to do a lot more to 
get students involved.

If you haven't voted yet, please do. To vote, please go to:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=85102489618

If the address breaks into two lines, you can try this one instead:

Even if you have voted, please help to get the message out to others 
-- post the message below to adult literacy education electronic 
lists in your organization or state. Voting will take place over the 
next several weeks, but it's important to get the word out as soon as 
possible.

Thanks for your help.
