Myspace is the third most popular website in the United States with well over 100 million accounts and tens of millions of individual users. A great deal of it's users are young adults most of whom probably feel disenfranchised with our current government. We have an oppurtunity to increase voter turnout across the country if we can work together to communicate accross this vast network.
The plan after the fold...
With Myspace you can post a bulltein which all your friends immediately see. Your friends can repost that bulltein by hitting a single button and then all of their friends see it. Because of this a bulltein can travel to millions of people in a single day and reach across the whole networking site within several days.
I have composed a message to help get people to vote, please help get this message across myspace. Simply highlight the text below, hit CTRL-C, then login into Myspace and hit
'Post new Bulltein'. Now decide what you want the title to be and hit CTRL-V inside the main box.

I know to some people voting does not seem like an important task when measured against the many obligations we face. But the very essence of our democracy requires your participation in order to preserve a government by and for the people. This great right was given to us by those who sacrificed their lives to have a government which represented the people. By voting on Tuesday we not only honor them, we honor future generations of young americans who look to us. Our country is at a critical crossroads and the road we take now is up to you.
If you don't already have information on where to vote contact your local elections office:

In some states you can already vote by visiting your local courthouse. In others you can get an absentee ballot which you can fill out at home and drop in the mailbox.
You can also help by reposting this message, together we can have a huge impact.
