USA only: Get Out The Vote

[Susan Martimo Choi <smchoi@IX.NETCOM.COM>]

Half of eligible voters don't vote, citing cynicism or disinterest.  But
cynicism is self-fulfilling.  By not voting, we get exactly what we deserve
-- politicians elected by special interests rather than people.  I, for one,
am exercising my franchise.  I will vote.  And I encourage you to vote.  But
you can do even more.  And it's easy.  Just go to:

     http://www.votepledge.org

MoveOn.org has created VotePledge.org and is sponsoring a $10,000 VOTEPLEDGE
DEMOCRACY AWARD as a public service.  However, VotePledge.org is
scrupulously non-partisan.

Plenty is at stake on November 7th -- a new President, congressional
leadership, the Supreme Court. Nothing could be more important than this
simple act of announcing your personal commitment to democracy.  Even if you
don't go to the votepledge, I encourage you to take the time to vote.
Wouldn't it be great if we got 100% of the eligible voters actually voting
in an election?
