No, seriously–don’t you do everything Sara Silverman tells you to?

You know I’m all about registering to vote lately. Here’s a nice public service announcement produced by Leonardo DiCaprio with some luminaries like Sara Silverman, Kyra Sedgwick, and Dustin Hoffman. Watch it and tell me in the Comments field what you think!

 

Are you registered to vote?

Here’s my rule for presidential politics–if you’re old enough to vote and don’t bother going to polls, you are not allowed to complain about the president for FOUR WHOLE YEARS.

Can you imagine going without complaining that long? Certainly not! Imagine what kind of shenanigans either candidate might get up to, and the lost opportunity for you personally to air your views to your friends, relatives, and strangers on the shuttle bus.

(Remember, the president appoints Supreme Court Justices, so even if you’re apathetic about who’s in the White House, you’ve got to care about the highest court in the land. It could be you, someday, in the landmark case of Joe Student v. The World.)  If you don’t think you understand enough about politics to make a good decision, talk to someone whose opinion you respect and try to figure out with candidates are likely to support the things you believe in.
