Note to the kids
Shamelessly stolen from Blogi
A quick look at their site indicates that this campaign is pro youth voting. This is surprising to me only because their ad does such a great job pointing out WHY the youth aren't voting. I'm sure it was intended to ignite the fire of youthful rebellion and make those apathetic kids realize that voting is really important.
Honestly, it's more likely the "independent-minded" 20-somethings will experience a short pang of regret at not voting, which will shortly be replaced with the next shiny thing they notice.
So, while the producers of this video might not feel the same way...
Truly; Thank you for not voting.
I feel almost like starting a campaign to discourage people from voting by citing BS about diebold, recounts, fixed election, vast right-wing conspiracies, etc. just to try and stop the voters who could be stopped by such tripe.
If you don't see the value in voting; then, by all means, don't vote.
If you can't be bothered to participate in the direction of your country; then, by all means, don't vote.
If you think voting is controlled by the (dastardly) Republican-owned Diebold, and your non-conformist vote wouldn't be counted; then, by all means, don't vote.
If you think that they're all the same bunch of rich elitists, who's principals are up for bid to the special interest with the most money; then, by all means, don't vote.
If you think that both parties are destroying America, and a vote for one is the same as a vote for the other; then, by all means, vote libertarian. :]
Vote your conscience. Not because someone told you to be afraid of the other guy.
