DuPage Against War Now will mark 10 years of voter advocacy on National Voter Registration Day Tuesday with a  registration drive at College of DuPage, 425 Fawell Ave., Glen Ellyn. DAWN Voter Advocates' founder and organizer Kathy Slovick, said as a group, "we have easily registered over 15,000 new voters since our beginning." DAWN mobilized in 2003 to oppose the impending Iraq war.
