Obama Backers Push High School Registration

Oklahoma supporters of Barack Obama are pushing to place voter registration forms in high schools because, "polling shows 83% of those voters under 35 will vote" for him.
Susan McCann, Obama's top Oklahoma campaign official, revealed the statewide effort in a post on the Democrats of Oklahoma Community Forum, http://www.demookie.com/.
Following a string of posts discussing the latest Oklahoma Poll showing Obama badly trailing John McCain in Oklahoma, McCann writes, "We don't have to accept our fate....join me and other Obama supporters in the following effort and other Voter Registration opportunities....AND in educating and enlightening the Voters.
"I sent the following email out yesterday to all Obama Supporters: Many of you are asking to help so here's what you can do: PLACE VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS IN YOUR HIGHSCHOOL (Alma Mater) polling shows 83% of those voters under 35 will vote for Barack Obama: Oklahoma's Public Schools will be opening soon, most school buildings are open now with teachers and staff members preparing for the school year. Registration activities are set to start this week and next.......
"WE need to place Voter Registration forms in the Administrative office of every highschool in Oklahoma with the hope of pushing the Senior Class to register for the General Election (cut off date to register is October 10th). ANY individual who turns 18 by November 4th can register NOW (before they turn 18) to vote.
"I have Voter Registration forms at Headquarters (n.w. corner N.W. 39th and Classen) 4001 N. Classen and I will be there Tuesday from Noon-1:30pm and 4:30pm - 6:00pm to give you the forms.
"PLEASE HELP WITH THIS INITIATIVE FOR OBAMA. All it would take is for you to pick up forms from Me and then take them to the school you graduated from. Let me also say for those of you out of town. You can get Registration forms from Your County Election Board and some Tag Agencies.
"PLEASE VOLUNTEER by emailing ME your intention to take forms to YOUR HighSchool so that I may create a list of those schools that are covered.
"Thanks So Much, Susan McCann.
