Just Vote

Vote Demo­c­rat. Vote Repub­li­can. Vote Lib­er­tar­ian, Con­sti­tu­tion, Green or Social­ist Work­ers. Vote on the issues. Vote your con­science. Vote for the can­di­date you’d like to have a beer with. Vote for edu­ca­tion. Vote for health­care. Vote for some­thing you care deeply about. Vote because you can. Vote because it’s your right. Vote because some peo­ple that came before you couldn’t. Vote for your chil­dren. Vote for your fam­ily. Vote for the future of the great exper­i­ment that is Amer­ica.

If you’ve already voted, call some­one and tell them to vote. Drive your friend to the polls so they can vote and remind every­one you see today to just vote. Don’t be lazy. Don’t be apa­thetic. Don’t com­plain unless you plan to vote. 537 peo­ple decided the 2000 elec­tion—still think your vote doesn’t count? Our democ­racy rarely asks much of its cit­i­zens, but today—November 4, 2008—it’s ask­ing you to just get out and VOTE!
