It's Not Too Late!

Chicagoist is a firm believer in civic engagement. We're even down with the bars being closed while the polls are open (we just drink at home, anyway). And part of that commitment means getting involved in races that matter to you. Yeah, we said it. You! So we want to invite you to give a little time this weekend for a candidate whose message matters to you. Geary Yonker has a wonderfully written article about the pleasures of working for something you believe in.

The internet has changed things so much in the last 5 years alone. But don't be fooled into thinking that radical change happens online. You still have to talk to voters to get them to vote for your guy. One of the great things that the internet has created is the ability of passionate people to come together for a cause they care about.

This last weekend before a historic election, lots of campaigns needs lots of volunteers to get out and tell people why their candidate matters. We hope you'll get involved, too. If you have a good experience, or a candidate that particularily moves you, we'd like to hear about it. Besides, you might get laid!
