One Voice, No Secrets - Annouces the "I Vote!" campaign for open records!

One Voice, in cooperation with Adoption Crossroads and OriginsUSA is sponsoring the "I Vote!" campaign to raise awareness of the need for open records in adoption.  In order to participate all you need to do is send a postcard to your elected officials identifying yourself and your position on open records.  Follow the links below for more information!

The "I Vote!" campaign kicks off during the third full week in November.  We ask everyone to send their postcards on Monday, November 26th, 2007.  Our goal is for all of the postcards in the campaign to arrive in the same few days.

While we can't and won't dictate the message written on your postcard, we suggest that the simpler the message the better. We suggest something like:

	I am an adoptee with no access to my birth record.

	I believe in open birth records for all people.

	I Vote!

or

	I am a natural parent who lost a child to adoption. 

	I have no access to my child's birth record.

 	I believe in open birth records for all people.

 	I Vote!

or 

          I Vote!

          All people should have access to the birth certificates that pertain to them.
