Have you seen this PSA yet?
Celebrities are telling you NOT to vote... unless you care about the issues
by Lacey Storer
Friday, October 3, 2008

Have you seen the voting PSA that’s been circling the internet lately? The video, which is apparently only showing on the web, was produced by Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company, and includes just about every celebrity possible in it.

The almost five-minute long video starts off by telling you not to vote. Why would you vote, they ask. What’s the point of voting? Unless you care about the issues, any issues. The point is to register and to vote and make your voice heard.

The video is fairly serious, though bits by Jonah Hill and Sarah Silverman take a more humorous turn. Just a warning: The video is uncensored and does contain some cuss words.

And here’s my own little PSA: The deadline to register to vote in Missouri is Oct. 8, next Wednesday. If you’re not registered, go do it now! And once you are registered, GO VOTE ON NOV. 4! Every vote counts.
