Sox Shuffle Continues
Show this to the next apathetic soul who claims they don't vote because: they don't believe in a 2-party system / it doesn't matter / Independents don't have a true voice / neither candidate will legalize marijuana / Hillary should have been nominated / George W is doing a heckuva job and it just doesn't matter who takes over from him / when things are this fucked what does it matter anymore.
Fuck all that reasoning. Vote!
(Unfortunately if you're not already registered, it's too late to do so. But that doesn't mean the reasoning is any less strong TO vote. And if you're not registered ... well, get regustered so you can vote next time around.)
UPDATE: It's not too late to register to vote! I repeat, IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO
REGISTER TO VOTE. Assuming you live in Chicago, you can still register at
69 W. Washington until October 21st, and you must cast your ballot at that
time. Learn more! (A HUGE thanks to commenter carolmargaret for setting us straight!)

could this be any longer...........................................................
the answer. no. none longer.
I fing hate these kinds of ads.
Fine, I won't vote. HAPPY?
Stupid celebrities trying to tell me shit.
If you need Sarah Silverman shaming you into actually going to the polls, maybe you really *shouldn't* vote.
yeah, what politics needs is more clueless hollywood idiots.
Oh sweet Jesus, the saddest thing is that your railing against the messengers only underscores their message!
Just fucking vote, O.K.?
matty,
I have always felt the same way about celebs doing any kind of commercial. The ones they do promoting being a mentor really tick me off (they're so condescending). I always wonder if THEY themselves are volunteering as mentors as well, you know?
And I thought I was going to feel the same way about this ad, but I actually thought it was pretty good. I thought it was strong, effective...got a good message across without being condescending or pandering.
But so far, I have only seen it going around the internet. I haven't seen it on tv.

Not that it really matters in Illinois anyway. But at least you can try hard to oust the bad judges -- Portman, Ross, Masterson-Pulia, Barnes, Clay, Hopkins, Burrell and Lewis.
ahem, Green Party
Grrrr.... I strongly dislike SIlverman. She has convinced me to vote for the person she dislikes just to spite her. HAHAHAHA take that!
Please vote. And if you live in Illinois, please vote for a third party candidate,be it Nader, McKinney, Barr, or any of the others. There should be no doubt that Obama will carry Illinois, which means that you can cast a vote for someone else without worrying that you'll spoil anything. If you care about issues that neither candidate has addressed (because they're on the same page) such as ending corporate welfare, or the war on (some) drugs, abolishing the death penalty, please vote and do it from your heart.
I'm not going to tell you HOW to vote, but to everyone taking exception to "stars" telling you to vote I would ask that you notice they don't tell you HOW to vote either.
The message is simply: Vote.
Meh. I couldn't make it half as long as that horrible Yes We Can video. What a bunch of dreck.
I haven't seen Giovanni Ribisi in years, and this is where he's gonna show up?
What these Hollywood lightweights are saying is "Don't vote for Republicans."
Excuse me, but getting a lecture from a bunch of left-wing, self-righteous actors is not going to excite a lot of people.
