Just vote

Go vote today.

Vote, because someone, somewhere just got screwed out of his or her ballot for some mysterious reason.

Vote, because somebody died to make sure you can.

Vote, because it's the best system we got despite the corruption, rot and broken promises.

For the female viewers: Vote, because nearly 90 years ago you couldn't, and if you don't, somebody will vote for you.

For the minorities: Vote, because revenge is sweet. Remember Florida. Remember 2000.

Vote, because you can get out of work for a few minutes and you can't get in trouble.

Vote, because it's the request line for DJ Democracy.

Vote, because apathy is so 1990s (courtesy of Tom Tomorrow)

Vote, because then you have something to bitch about.

Vote, because democracy is much more than calling up and voting someone out of "American Idol."

Vote, because you never know who you'll meet at the polls.

Vote, because you can send a letter to your Congressperson with the P.S. of "I'm against this war, and I vote" and you'll be right.

Vote, because the young and the immigrants can't.

Vote, because ignorance of the issues or resources isn't a factor anymore, thanks to the Web.

Vote, because this is the tightest election in years.

Vote, because it matters.

Vote, because they don't want you to.
