I think it's cool that DMB is going on the Vote for Change tour. Why
aren't more bands political anymore? There's a cool website that's
spreading around right now called VOTEsters (www.votesters.org) that
is kind of like Friendster, but with a political slant. The goal is
to defeat Bush by getting people to make sure all their friends get
to the polls in November to vote for Kerry. After you sign up, they
send you tips about how to help your friends get registered to vote,
find their polling places, etc. I grabbed this from their
website "It's a modern grassroots approach to the old Election Day
GOTV phone bank, but starts before any ballots are cast, is capable
of growing exponentially, is perpetuated entirely through online
mechanisms, and depends entirely on peer influence." I think Dave
should sign up on VOTEsters! Seems like something he would be into
and the site was started by musicians. Anyway, check out the site. I
just signed up and found a bunch of my friends already on it:
