Why don't more bands write songs about what's going on in the world
anymore? I admire the Dixie Chicks for speaking out about their
beliefs. There's a cool website that's spreading around right now
called VOTEsters (www.votesters.org) that is kinda 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 helpful info
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 the Dixie Chicks
should sign up on VOTEsters too! Seems like something they would be
into. Anyway, check out thes site. I just signed up and found a
bunch of my friends already on it: www.votesters.org
