Brilliant voting campaign aimed to push the public to go vote. This marketing campaign was created by Borders Perrin Norrander and Pollinate Media. They provide the files so people can print out posters as well as banners for the public to put on their blogs and websites. The tag line is “Don’t Vote. Things are fine just the way they are.” Just simple and brilliant.

For some states, it may be too late! California (where I hail) you still have time. Deadline is 15 days before elections. Other States look here
Note: I am very disappointed in the way the website “declareyourself” attempts to get young people out to vote. It is great they were able to get a lot of celebrities to participate, but they use a lot of sex appeal in their videos. Other videos jokingly ties youth with dressing less modesty as they get older, having sexual awakenings, sniffing glue, getting tattoos and other things commonly associated with the youth. But that is the thing, it doesn’t have to be associated with youth, but videos like this reinforces this type of poor identity for teens and enough of this material makes it seem the norm. I don’t think people realize how much these type of videos influence self-identity and culture especially for kids and children. They aren’t all that creative either, so I don’t recommend watching them.
