it’s already been four years since President Obama stepped into office and now we’re ready to raise our voices and elect/ re-elect the leader of our choice (well sorta) for the next four years.

now, my mama taught me to stay clear of water cooler discussions on politics and religion, so i WON’T be asking WHO you are voting for. the point is that we just want you to get out there and let your voice be heard!

and, that can’t happen if you’re not even registered to cast a ballot. so, before you start watching the debates that kick-off this week or sharing those hilarious (or offensive) YouTube vids about your candidate, make your voice count!

check out info below for how to register to vote in NY, MN and beyond.
