AMOS Says It Found 1,500 New Voters

The AMOS Project leaders say they'll announce at their candidates' forum tonight that they knocked on doors in "forgotten neighborhoods" and found 1,500 people who were registered to vote, but never did. The 1,500 have promised, they say, to go to the polls Nov. 6.

They plan to illustrate just how many people this is by unveiling a paper chain tonight. Each link will represent one of the voters.


The forum's 7-9 p.m. at Friendship Baptist Church, 3212 Reading Road.


"We are returning our communities, our congregations, and our souls to the decision making table,” the Rev. Gregory Chandler, AMOS president, said in the announcement today. “We are building a more just, and more accountable, city government.”
