Vote or Die

Pundits are not sure if young people will put down their iPods long enough to cast their votes. Musicians like Jay-Z and John Legend and P-Diddy are trying to use their iPod-driven fame to drive the youth to the polls.  Historically, the youth haven't  shown up. But this year seems to be different. Senator  Barack Obama has spoken their language.  And that language is user friendly technology.  From Facebook to MySpace to online fundraising to advertising on video games, he's reaching young people where they live.  Now, the text-class may reach out and touch an eVote machine for a  candidate with Jay-Z on his iPod.

Peace & Blessings,
