Welcome to the USTVotes website, your political and legislative action center.

From now until Election Day on November 4th, USTVotes will provide you with a simple way to be an active and effective participant in the 2008 elections. USTVotes will provide information about registering to vote in your specific area, candidates seeking office in your community, and up-to-date news impacting the elections.

The stakes are too high to neglect our privilege and duty of voting in the upcoming elections. These elections could determine the government's approach to such fundamental issues as taxation and regulation, both of which play a vital role in the future of our company. I urge you to learn more about the upcoming elections on the USTVotes website.

Thank you for taking the time to visit the USTVotes website. Please remember to VOTE on Tuesday, November 4th.

Murray S. Kessler
Chairman, President and CEO
