 Hi, my name is Michael Jacoby Brown and like you, I care about our democracy. One of the best things you can do to strengthen our democracy is to get your neighbors to vote. And the best way to get your neighbors to vote is to knock on their doors, ask them what they're concerned about in your community, make sure they're registered and then remind them to vote. If they're not registered, I always carry a clipboard like this with some voter registration forms. You can get these from your town, city or county election department. Bring along a pen so you can register them to vote right there at the door. Now some of you may be comfortable doing this, some of you may be not so comfortable. You may be a little nervous or afraid of what's going to happen. So I'm going to show you in a minute some of the things that are likely to happen when you go out, visit your neighbors, ask them what they're concerned about and try to get them to vote. Now you may feel comfortable going by yourself. You may feel more comfortable going with a friend or a partner. You know best what works for you. But however you do it, do it. You are the best person to strengthen our democracy. Your neighbors will listen to you. Hi, so here's our first door. One of the things that will often happen is no one's home. You knock on the door, nobody answers. So what you do is I carry a little piece of paper, says, sorry, I miss you. Sorry to miss you. I keep my name, address, phone number. They know I'm a neighbor because it has my address on it, my email and I leave it in their door, say sorry, I stop by, and I'll often sign my name like this, Michael, Michael Brown. I put it in the door so they'll get it when they come home. I don't put it in the mailbox. It's illegal to leave any paper like this in the mailbox, okay? Hi, my name's Michael Brown. I'm your neighbor. I live right up the street, number 10. I'm just stopping by to see what you're concerned about. Make sure I don't see you're registered to vote here on our... No, no, I'm not registered to vote. I'm not interested in voting. I haven't voted in 20 years. You know, politicians, they don't say what they're... They don't do what they say they're going to do. They never listen. I don't think any of them are any good at all. You know, I grew up with most of them. They're crooks then. They're crooks now. So you're not interested. It's me and crooks. Have you met my ex-husband? No, I don't think so. Oh my gosh. Sometimes you're going to meet people that just aren't interested and that happens sometimes. Don't worry about it. Let's just roll with the punches. Move on to the next door. Okay? Hello? Oh, hi. My name is Michael Brown. I'm your neighbor. I live up the street at number 10, the White House. And I'm just stopping by to listen to our neighbors see what you're concerned about and make sure you're registered to vote. I don't think you are. Oh, you know... Yeah, sorry. Go ahead. I've been here for a year, but I haven't registered. You're the first person that has come to say they want to know what I think about it. Oh really? Oh. So thank you for that. Oh yeah. So what sort of things are you concerned about in the neighborhood? Well, you know, I used to get canvassers in my old apartment all the time and I've been here for a year and nobody stopped by, but I am really concerned about potholes in the street. Yeah. And my rent keeps going on. Yeah, that's happening to a lot of people. So there are definitely things going on. Right. So you should be interested in registering to vote. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Well, you can do that real easily. You just have to fill out this form and just... You got a minute? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, just fill out your form. Oh, I'm sorry. What is your name? My name is Jane. Okay. Great, Jane. So just fill this form out. Okay. Just needs your address, your last four of your social, your phone number, your email. You know, I'll give you my phone number because you're my neighbor. Yeah. I'm not concerned about it going anywhere else. Oh, yeah. No, I'm your neighbor. I live right up the street, you know, in the White House. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah. No, thanks. That's great. Yeah. And you just have to sign over here. Okay. And what's your email, Jane? It's janesmith1972 at gmail.com. Oh, okay. That's okay. J-A-N-E-S-M-I-T-H-1-9-7-2 at gmail. Yes. That's right. Your phone number, 708-555-1212, I got that right. Yeah, that's it. Okay, great. And this is my information. Here's my name, my address. You can see I live right up the street. My phone number. If something comes up, just feel free to call me because we'll have some neighborhood meetings about some of those things you were concerned about. Wonderful. It's great to meet you. So it's really nice to meet you. Thank you. Thanks so much. Okay, I'll see you around. Bye. Thanks a lot. So that's often something that's likely to happen. A lot of people will be really glad you stopped by.
