Yes WE can! Get out and Vote - or at least say you did.

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Yeah, I voted. First I liked them both, then hated them both, then stopped caring, then got scared, then I decided. Usually I just vote against people — this time I actually voted for someone.

If you’ve got a ballot lying around, do something with it. It’s pretty simple and takes no time at all. Ballots are supposed to be postmarked the day before the election, so now is your moment.

And what about those of you who have never registered or received your ballots? Lie. Tell people you voted. Tell them you voted early. Tell people that you always vote and that everyone you know votes.

Nothing makes Americans look dumber than non-voting. Especially this time. So you know what you have to do. Get your story straight and stick to it. Live it.

Fedex is delivering ballots free of charge. http://shanghai.usembassy-china.org.cn/100708vote.html
