Dress Like Me

So, as a result of Americans desperately holding on to their honeymoon period with Sarah Palin, the polls aren't looking good. This is sad. I'll make a totally ageist statement here and say "We need more young people! They seem to be smarter! They will vote the way I want them to!"

MoveOn.org agrees. Actually, they thought of this awhile ago and have been raising money for a youth-registration program. Basically, you don't need to give much and you actually get something, and from American Apparel, who takes much of my money anyway. Their message below.

Last week, more than 90,000 MoveOn members chipped in more than a million dollars to launch our youth-registration program—and each got a cool Obama shirt in the process.

The program is off to a great start. We've already opened offices in a dozen states, and canvassers are hitting the pavement and signing up tons of young Obama voters every day.

But right now, we don't have enough money to keep these canvassers going full-speed for the next 3-4 weeks until the voter-registration deadlines hit.

We've been giving out Obama T-shirts along with each donation of at least $12. But we need more resources—fast—to keep this program going. So we're offering you a special deal: If you contribute just $8 TODAY, we'll send you an Obama shirt free.

The race is tightening amongst registered voters—new polls even show it tilting towards the McCain/Palin ticket for the first time.

The key to Obama winning this fall is expanding that list of registered voters. That's the work these canvassers are doing: registering new voters to tip the balance in the states where it matters most.

And they'll be out there wearing the same T-shirts you'll be receiving. These American Apparel shirts are high-quality, American-made, and union-printed—and they're a great way to make a difference.

Also, I promise I am not encouraging others to spend their money as a way to gain good karma without spending my own. I bought one too!
