This video sure has received a lot of publicity lately. While I’m glad they’re trying to get people out to vote, it’s not like the polar ice caps will melt faster if you don’t vote, or your kid won’t get to go to college. I wish they wouldn’t sensationalize it. It’s not like a large percentage of people in any political party whatsoever are really out to get you.

Jon I understand where you are coming from, but I disagree with you, literally and metaphorically. First of all, depending on the environmental legislation that is passed or vetoed, the ice caps could surely melt faster. And depending on the amount of funding for financial aid, your kids might be able to go to college still, but on loans.

The fact is that every single big issue will affect people our age throughout our lifetimes. And with foreign affairs in their current state, this could very well be one of the most important political choices we Americans have to make.

Thanks for speaking your mind Jon.
