 A Pledge To Participate

The C.A.R. Signature Project for 2004 is very exciting! N.S.C.A.R., in partnership with Freedom's Answer, encourages "A Pledge to Participate" in the national election. Members who are "not old enough to vote but old enough to lead" will enlist pledges from at least 10 voters to participate in this year's national election in an attempt to achieve a record turnout in voting. The members will offer reminders on the day before the election to their pledges who ask for one, and they may check up to see how many of their pledges actually voted. They are NOT to ask HOW they voted -- as this is a non-partisan activity -- just to encourage voter participation. In the last national election, South Carolina only had 58.9 percent eligible voter turnout. The goal is to help surpass that level of participation.

In addition, C.A.R. members may become a school representative for Freedom's Answer, engaging their schools in the nationwide project with a patriotic school assembly and enlisting more students by handing out the "Take Ten" pledge sheets. Societies also might man voter registration tables at malls or other public places and picket on Election Day to remind people to vote! Another suggestion is for societies to have representatives (in Revolutionary era costumes where possible or desired) at voting locations, thanking voters as they depart to make a statement that their votes are important to C.A.R. in light of what our Revolutionary ancestors did to ensure their right to vote. Signs could say “Children of the American Revolution have Freedom’s Answer: VOTE TODAY!” or “Children of the American Revolution thank you for voting today.”

In addition to meeting our objective to "Love, uphold, and extend the principles of American liberty and patriotism" (C.A.R.’s 6th objective) and helping to fulfill our mission statement, the Signature Project also presents a wonderful opportunity for public relations as our organization will be featured alongside the most significant youth organizations in the U.S. on the Freedom's Answer website and will have a link to and from that website. Please visit the website at www.Freedomsanswer.net. With endorsement letters from the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the Senate Majority leader and the House Minority leaders, and the chairmen of both Republican and Democratic National Committees, the school assembly program created by the Signature Project will gain much more exposure and support.

We hope many societies, and many DAR, S.R., and SAR chapters will join N.S.C.A.R. in our “Pledge to Participate.”
