Don't just vote, help someone else vote!

When I get out of work today, I am voting. After that I am driving a friend to a different precinct so she can vote, I will also offer her family a ride to vote. her sister already said she needed a ride.

By the end of the day, it will be like I've voted several times as without my help there are several people who wouldn;t have gotten to vote. This is how we win!

Everyone knows someone who can;t make it to the polls, even if you've never done it before, do it tonight!

Too many people are so anxious on election day that they forget about people they know that maybe wont vote because they need a ride or wont vote because they just aren't motivated. Time to motivate them, time to help them.

I just found the closest poll to where they're staying and they'll be heading out to vote soon. They're both voting for Obama as is my whole family
