      <title>Low-income voters give election feedback</title>
      <link>http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=979e71a3c71a4a2e800e1794a&amp;id=1a82b13b87</link>
      <description>Low-income voters want support to get jobs was the key message delivered in the Downtown Community Ministry (DCM) waiting room today. Especially those who need ‘a second chance’ because previous criminal convictions are preventing them getting a look-in to the job market. One respondent was emphatic that “people change and we need another shot at a job”.</description>

      <title>The obligatory election commentary</title>

      <description>On Saturday this site has to go off-line for the day so to stay within the electoral laws (I don’t understand why, and it seems pretty dumb to me) and I hope you all turn the voting experience into a positive activity, by walking or cycling to your nearest booth and casting your ballots.</description>

      <title>Get out and vote!</title>
      <link>http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=979e71a3c71a4a2e800e1794a&amp;id=0dae261747</link>
      <description>“When you cast your vote, please think of the impact on poorer New Zealanders” urges Downtown Community Ministry’s (DCM) Director Stephanie McIntyre.&#xD;
 &#xD;
“Low income people continue to endure a disproportionate burden of increases in the cost of housing, transport, utilities and food and have had no appreciable increase in income” says Stephanie.&#xD;
 &#xD;
Quoting the famous words of John Donne: “No man is an island” the new City Missioner Susan Blaikie reinforced this concern, speaking to DCM’s AGM earlier this week. Susan’s message to voters was to remember the significance of community.</description>
