Adeline Wants You To Vote Too!
In addition to the message posted by the band previously, Adeline Records has posted an entire blog on MySpace encouraging people to go out and vote. The blog also contains useful tips to deal with election day stress and long lines. The blog says:
Voting Season 101
Listen up!
It's that time again... voting season! For those of you living under a rock, it's time to vote for the next President of the United States and a lot of other important political offices and ballot initiatives.
We're already hearing about long lines, and we need you to be prepared to stay in line and have your vote count. The longest waits will surely be on Election Day (Nov 4), so if you are able to vote early in your state you may avoid the worst of it. Click here to see if you qualify for early voting in your state.
If you do encounter long lines, here are some ways to have fun and ensure you can vote:
- Go with friends and/or bring phones, iPods, lawn chairs, food, magazines and books, proper clothing, etc.
- Don't believe the polls if they say a candidate is winning or losing. They've been wrong before.
• Ask for the day off from work or class. Call in sick or play hooky. Voting is more important. - Verify your vote and polling station BEFORE you head to the polls -- don't wait in line only to have a problem. You can do both by calling 1-866-OUR-VOTE or contact your local County Election Office. Or, use the Google Map voter tool.
- Help others stay in line, too. Share your food, drink, music, reading materials, election protection information… regardless of your political affiliation, we're in this together.
- Make sure to take this number with you so that if you encounter any problems, you can talk to nonpartisan election lawyers who can help: 1-866-OUR-VOTE or be sure to request a provisional ballot.
- If you do run into any problems at the polls, stand up for your right to vote!
Love always,
Adeline

why the f*ck can't minor vote ??? just coz we're young doesn't mean we're total idiots !! OMG the world is just not fair !!! Plus, if we could vote, there'd be more vote, and it would be much more sensible, coz younger generations have much more sense, isn't that what we hear EVERY f*cking day !!? This just doens't make sense !!
well, good luck Obama !! :)
