"FMF is a non-partisan organization; we don't care who you vote for, we just want women to speak out about how they feel, especially with so many issues affecting them -- reproductive rights and other issues -- they need to speak up," Keiter said.

FMF and FMLA are working to get Penn Staters registered for the election.

"The deadline for voter registration is Oct. 4 and by that date we hope to have at least 5,000 students on campus registered," FMF intern Danielle Conrad (junior-psychology and women's studies) said. "We are targeting women, but we want all students registered."

The "Get Out Her Vote" campaign focuses on individual registration, not large events like P.S. U Vote does, Keiter said.

"It's a very grassroots movement. We aren't having as many big events as just going out into the community talking to people, talking to friends getting them to sign up ... it's very personal, very community-oriented campaign," she said.

The campaign handles all registration requirements, from helping people fill out forms to taking them to the required location.

"We're mainly just standing outside the HUB; we were at the Heinz-Kerry event; we go to classrooms just trying to get people to register to vote ..." Conrad said.

Keiter said it is important to register in Centre County to avoid problems associated with absentee ballots.

"Sometimes, if there is a clear margin they don't even count absentee ballots," Keiter said. "Registering here is much more convenient."

FMLA members they are helping with the registration drive.

"We've been going around our floors, asking people in our classes, we even got into a concert for free in Baltimore by helping people register to vote," said Jess Meller (sophomore-psychology), who said she was inspired to help because of the politically driven music she listens to.

"Get Out Her Vote" supporters' reasons may be different, but their goals are always the same.

"As cliché as it sounds, I want to help to get people's voices heard ... this is a big election [and] people need to have their say," Hilary Dover (sophomore-Spanish) said.
