I don’t normally do short reposts of other people’s content, but I have to make an exception in this case.
Obama ’08 – Vote For Hope from MC Yogi on Vimeo.
Fired up, ready to go!
Yesterday, I went to a Barack Obama rally in Hew Hampshire with the Tufts for Obama group. It may have been one of the greatest days of my life. I was fortunate to finally see Barack in person, something I’ve wanted for a long time (2004, actually).
He gave a very different speech on Saturday – a speech that aligns with his new aggressive advertising strategy. Although it’s not a mandatory watch, I highly recommend 17:00 minutes and onward, with special emphasis on 30:15-31:50.
After the rally, I canvassed in New Hampshire, which was a lot of fun. There’s a lot of work to be done to get Barack elected, so if you haven’t yet, register to vote and get involved as much as you can. We can do this.
This blog hasn’t been all that political since the summer months, despite my heavy involvement in politics. That’ll change over the next few months, but only when I have some original perspective to offer. I don’t want to recycle material from mainstream media or the blogosphere.
The day I turned 18, I registered to vote. I’m happy to say that I finally received my voting card in the mail today.
In my high school, I’ve heard a lot of confusion about registering. Some people think they have to go to the town hall or the DMV, and others think they have to go online somewhere.
That somewhere is Rock the Vote. Click that link, select “register to vote”, and fill out the form. Once the form is filled out, print it, sign it, and mail it in. In fewer than two months, you’ll have a voter registration card in the mail. That’s it!
Yuck, I just used “blogosphere” in a post. Where’s my soap?
