So in completely separate incidences, both me and my brother made posts on our blogs about voting. Hurrah, finally a confirmation that we're related...we have ESP. If that doesn't confirm it I don't know what does.
This is what Zac posted:

Get Out and Vote
It frustrates me to hear people saying that they broke down and registered to vote, but they're still not going to vote. Why not? It takes little time, and your vote does matter no matter how much you think it doesn't. Think of it this way, if everyone who had this mentality (which is probably a good chunk of the population) didn't vote, their votes combined could sway the entire election. The way to make sure that doesn't happen is by getting everyone out of their houses/apartments/dorms on November 4th.

Slacker Uprising is Michael Moore's newest addition to a long line of politically charged films. However, it's not like his other movies. For one thing, he's released it free to the public as a downloadable film. Secondly, he's given away all of his rights to the film, which means anyone can show it, and anyone can make money off of it. Thirdly, this film is not like his other films. He doesn't constantly spew skewed facts, but shows the audience what his Slacker Uprising tour in 2004 (before the election) went through. All he wanted was to inspire people to vote, and promoted the not-so-radical idea that a single vote does matter.
Watch it if you love Michael Moore, watch it if you hate Michael Moore, watch it if you have doubts about whether your vote counts or not. Michigan has a record breaking 95% of it's potential voters registered this year. That's huge if you think about it, but only if all of them go out and vote on November 4th.
