DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER TO VOTE!




Cool video - reminder that we need to register to vote for this election, one of the most important in recent history.

Rock The Vote , a non-profit, non-partisan organization founded in 1990. Rock the Vote works to engages youth in the political process by incorporating the entertainment community and youth culture into its activities.

The organization was founded in Los Angeles in 1990 by Jeff Ayeroff for the purposes of political advocacy. Rock the Vote's stated mission is to "build the political clout and engagement of young people in order to achieve progressive change in our country." The first Rock the Vote campaign was called, "Censorship is UnAmerican." The Canadian version of Rock the Vote was founded by Nat zeke Zavier in 1981, while the Irish version of Rock the Vote was founded by Patrick Cosgrove in 2006, and was active during the 2007 Irish elections. While the organization is officially non-partisan, its viewpoints are almost exclusively liberal or progressive and generally in-line with the Democratic National Committee. (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

AND REMEMBER: just because you're registered won't help if you don't go out and physically vote - it's your civil duty!
