We need "stars" willing to use a piece of their camera time to promote the vote!

Unfortunately, I don't have a clue how to accomplish such a thing nor who to suggest it to.

(30,741 posts)I thought she was just another pop tart. Then I began to notice how smart she was about using social media. She was better at promoting herself that way than just about anyone else.
My respect for her grows.

If anyone can get the young to vote I am all for it.
Many of the elderly who are glued to Fox news seem to have atrophied brains and love the Reality Star. They put us in this mess that Obama was getting us out of.. it was the young, boots on the ground that elected him lest we forget.
My small Town elected a young Mayor. He has really gone to work. The evidence is already showing in new curbings, streets, electric.
The position is not Political but when he saw the TV station I had on he and his wife admitted they were Democrats.
I had emailed him asking who put in smoke Detectors . He came with his wife and installed it.

My very diverse lot of grand babies love her music. The Fox News audience will simply die off.
This next generation doesnt understand the bigotry. The just want their peers to be nice.
Swifts call to action will matter on November 6th
