CCLEFT Thanks the Community, Encourages Further Political Activity
CCLeft
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editors:
CCLEFT would like to thank all those who registered to vote at our table at the
OVCS fair on Monday. We registered over 50 people in two hours. Though CCLEFT
supports all those on the left from those moderate liberals to hard leftists,
our goal is to encourage an active role in politics, for which voting is of
paramount importance.
The percentage of youth who voted in the last presidential election was a dismal
37%. A higher youth turnout would have made a dramatic difference in the
election results. CCLEFT would like to see every eligible vote be cast in the
upcoming primaries and in the coming general election, because we take an
activist role in political thought. Casting a vote for a candidate is the
easiest way to effect change.
The Connecticut Democratic Primary will be held on March 2nd. This is your first
chance to choose the leader of this country. CCLEFT has compiled information on
each of the candidates running. This flyer, though ubiquitous in your dorm
bathrooms (we hope!), can also be taken from the web at:

Thank you again for participating in your democratic process. If you missed the
registration table, CCLEFT will have a table on the first floor of Cro during
the next week to register people for March 2nd’s Connecticut Democratic Primary.
If you register before February 26th, you will still be eligible to vote in said
primary. Happy voting, and keep fighting!
CCLEFT
