Why are you voting?

Before Tuesday rolls around and we experience the most important election of my lifetime, I want to do what I can to make sure that everyone who can vote does. That’s why I’m giving one short reason why I’m voting. I’d like to ask you to do the same. Record a short video of yourself answering the question: Why are you voting?

Post your response on your blog, tumblr, twitter, facebook, myspace, or wherever you can. Ask your friends to record a response as well. Let’s give everyone a great reason to make it to the polls on Tuesday.

If you do record a reponse, I’d love it if you’d share it with me. Reply to me on twitter (@mattmc) with the video link or email me (matt at pixelspread.com) with the subject line “Why are you voting?” and the video link. If I can collect enough reponses, I’d love to put together a site full of them before Tuesday.

My name is Matt and I’m voting for president because this is the first chance that I can. I’m twenty years old and I’ve had to live through eight years of the Bush administration without an opportunity to vote against it. I don’t think I’d be able to live with myself for another four if I didn’t exercise my right to change that. Why are you voting?

Reblog this, spread it, try to convince one more person to vote. Thank you.

Sen. McCain, you need to endorse Barack Obama. That would really make you look like a maverick.
