Hmm … my first time?
View video below. (I can’t get the embedded video to work right, so you’ll just have to watch it here.)
I swear I’m not on a feminist kick, I’ve just been meaning to write about this for a while. I originally saw it at Toby Bloomberg’s blog, and then I caught the PSA on TV the other night, which reminded me and ultimately prompted this post.
First of all, I’m highly impressed by this witty campaign. Put on by Women’s Voices. Women’s Votes., it’s a great case study of a very integrated and innovative effort — complete with YouTube videos, TV commercials, viral buttons, and apparently, blogger relations — designed to motivate young women to vote.
Secondly, I do encourage you to vote. In a conversation with Paull Young recently, he informed me that Australians can be fined for not voting — which is unfortunate in situations when none of the candidates are worthy of support. Granted, Americans aren’t forced to vote with threat of monetary consequences, but we still have the right – why not take advantage of that?!
Nov. 7 — Election Day.
