Welcome to BIPAC's Vote 2012 Resource Center
 

In 2012, voters will have the opportunity to elect hundreds of state and local leaders, 11 Governors, 435 Members of Congress and 33 Senators. Each and every one of these elected officials has the ability to positively or negatively shape legislation affecting each of us, our companies, and our communities. Increased voter participation can and will improve how that system performs for everyone.

We hope that you'll take the time to reach out to employees this election cycle, provide them with information on the issues at stake and where the candidates stand on those issues and encourage them to vote on Election Day.  Together we can ensure a more prosperous tomorrow for all Americans.

We have built this website as an example of all of the content and materials you can use on your P2 or PAC website this fall.  Please visit the BIPAC Member Portal for sample graphics and messages that you can use to drive your employees to your sites.
