Dear ICSC Member,

With the critical November elections only months away, you have an opportunity to vote for candidates who are responsive to your needs. In addition to an historic Presidential race, the entire U.S. House of Representatives stands for re-election and one third of the U.S. Senate. Numerous important races are also going on at the state level.

In order to help our members and their employees make informed choices at the polls, ICSC is once again partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on a bipartisan political program: www.icscvotes.com. The site is filled with useful information. Through www.icscvotes.com you can register to vote, learn about candidates for state and federal races, download absentee ballot forms, read about ICSC's federal legislative issues and industry news and access ICSC's Legislative Action Center.

The site does require that you type in your name and address but this information is not shared or released by ICSC or the US Chamber; it is simply necessary to link to the appropriate states and/or districts and voter information where you live.

We encourage you to participate in this year's elections and spread the word about the wealth of information on www.icscvotes.com to your colleagues and employees. ICSC urges you to exercise your right as a citizen of this country to vote. Please take advantage of www.icscvotes.com as a resource to help you better educate yourself about the issues and the candidates in this upcoming election.

Remember, your vote can make a difference!

Respectfully,


Michael P. Kercheval
President and CEO
