Around the Tubes: 7/14/07

A few quick hits for a Saturday morning:

• Rock the Vote and Working Assets have unveiled their voter registration widget. By the end of the summer it is supposed to be portable to any website, blog or social network. This could be huge for online voter registration in 2008.
• The North Carolina General Assembly has passed a same day registration bill that will let voters register and vote on the same day up to three days before the election. The bill is awaiting the Governor's signature. Read our previous coverage of this here.(h/t Rock the Vote blog)
• Democrats Work is teaming up the Young Democrats to host a community service operation during the YDA Convention in Dallas. The groups will assemble back to school backpacks for the children of soldiers deployed in Iraq. Sign up here.
• AlterNet reports on the Bush Campaign's anti-protestor advance manual. The handbook outlines tactics for sidelining protestors and marks Young/College Republicans, local sororities/fraternities, and local athletic teams as footsoldiers to do the dirty work.
