This time next week, the first polls will start closing in this election. If your friends might not have the info they need to vote, now’s the time to nudge them.
In Las Vegas, last stop of the day: vote early.
I VOTED FOR PRESIDENT LAST NIGHT
My absentee ballot came last night and I filled it out with great enthusiasm.
I just can’t get over the fact that I VOTED. FOR PRESIDENT!!!
I’ve only been waiting my whole life to do this. AND I DID AND IT WAS GLORIOUS.
Also, I was volunteering today with the Obama campaign to register voters and I actually had someone register to vote with me and it made my life.
If you’re 18 and a US citizen, get out there and register to vote! The deadlines for registering are coming up/may have already passed depending on what state you live in (Colorado’s is October 9th and it varies from state to state), so get registered! It’s super easy and it’ll take maybe 2 minutes of your time. I got a guy registered in 90 seconds today.
“Maybe 2 minutes”! Do it now!
In Wisconsin the other day:
THE PRESIDENT: Now, my opponent, he believes in top-down economics—
AUDIENCE: Booo—
THE PRESIDENT: Don’t boo—vote.
But he thinks that if we just spend another $5 trillion on tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans all our problems are going to go away. Jobs and prosperity will rain down on everybody. Deficits will magically disappear. It will all end happily ever after.
But there’s a problem with that. We tried what they’re selling. We tried it for a decade. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now.
Don’t boo—vote.
It’s National Voter Registration Day, and literally everyone you know who’s cool is registering to vote. Literally everyone. We are sure of this.
It takes five minutes! Do it now!
48 days. Get registered. (photo via your BFF and ours, Beyoncé)
