Move On, Rock the Vote, and Vote or Die are campaigns that encourage people to register to vote and get to the polls on election day no matter what. Given the state of our economy and the countless number of other concerns, including where we get our energy supply, most people will argue that now more than ever, we need people to vote. They say it doesn't matter which side you favor, just as long as you're eligible your opinion should be counted.
So, this is probably not the election to challenge with silly little slogans like "Don't Vote! (Unless you know what you're talking about.), and probably not the election to argue against the philosophy that everyone's voice should be counted.
However, one company is doing so. TheNakedHippie.com recently put out a T-shirt that says "Don't Vote! Unless you know what you're talking about." Do they not want people voting? Do they like McCain? Do they like Obama? Do they hate America?!
So many pressing questions!
What do you think?
