(Just a quick note. Since we believe that getting women to GO VOTE is so critical, I'll be blogging for now on NeverTooBusyToVote.com every day. Visit me there, and I'll resume normal blogging here as I can. Kyle)Those of you who know me, know that I'm passionate about getting women - well, everybody really, but especially women - out to VOTE! Unless you've been in a cave with no cable signal, it's not news to you that in this year's election, EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
I've been up way too late at night,flipping from Nightline to CNBC to CNN, just trying to keep up! And in my mad mashing of the remote control, I happened on late night host Craig Ferguson. It just so happened to be his night to riff on the political situation we have this fall. If you didn't see it, take a look and listen for yourself. "If you don't go vote, you're a moron," might be a little harsh, but it was fascinating - and inspiring to hear this naturalized citizen (whether you like him or not) giving his take on us and our right to vote. Not just a right, as he says, but our responsiblity.
I especially liked his comments in response to those who say they're not 'political.' "Do you buy gas? Groceries? Do you live in a house... Do you live in this country?" he asks. Then you're involved in politics! Certainly something to think about.
My personal mantra on politics is 'if you don't vote, you don't count!' (As you can see I'm on my soapbox here) so this weekend, we're kicking off Multi-TaskingWoman's first non-partisan GO VOTE effort!
We don't want to tell you who to vote for; we just want EVERY WOMAN to get out and vote! Put it on your calendar now, and make it happen! Let there be no excuses! In fact, in many states, you can even vote early and miss the long lines everyone's anticipating.
I'm calling on every one of you who is has a friend, is a friend, blogs, posts, twitters or just plain chats, to spread the word! Won't you join us in this effort! Drop us a line or give us a call and we'll let you know how you can help!
