Earlier this summer the Democratic Nation Committee launched a "Raise Your Vote," effort. The intention was to be a massive voter registration drive, in hopes to bring back the young voters of the '08 election.
This is exactly what we, as Democrats, need to push us over in those "51%-49%" or "49%-51%" races. Most polling shows that The 2010 Midterm elections will provide gains for the Republicans, but imagine what the numbers would look like without the 10 million voters that the OFA contacted and the many young voters the "Raise Your Vote" campaign registered.
President Obama has accomplished many things that the media and electorate have chosen to ignore. One of these accomplishments is not just running for President and winning....but creating a movement. President Obama and the DNC created the Organizing for American and Raise Your Vote campaigns that will continue to push for a Progressive America.
Below are just some of the stars that came out in support for President Obama and the Democrats and asking everyone to Raise Your Vote:
Gabrielle Union:
Alfre Woodard:
Ben Harper:
Jamie Foxx:
Forest Whitaker:
John Legend:
Kal Penn:
