I love this video. The celebrities aren’t taking a stance on any issue in particular. Instead, they press the importance of voting, period.
A bunch of celebrities are demanding that you don’t vote because voting is stupid. No one cares about education, health care, abortion, polar bears, the economy, etc.
But then celebrity after celebrity point out that what you care about might matter. From social security to Darfur to the AIDS crisis at home and abroad, the 2nd ammendment, war on drugs. “This is really only about your future.”
They remind you that you need to REGISTER to vote and insist they’ll wait for you to register before moving on.
It’s completely non-partisan, but it reminds people of the issues at stake (regardless of the position you take on those issues), the need to register (the deadline is October 4th in some states) and the necessity of voting.
And of course, they ask you to take the message viral and share it with 5 friends.
PS. Maybe it leans left. But much of Hollywood is pretty liberal. The point is non partisan — vote!

It is a really interesting message ! I agree with you on the smartness of the speech. And I appreciate when celebrities engage themselves for citizen’s causes.
But I feel unease with this video. Those celebrities have made their carreer on old media through television and the movie industry. They are not the result of a democratic system. I feel a kind of fake proximity because of these, why do they talk to us suddenly? What do they play now?
This an ad movie for television but on youtube ? It is a bit strange. Would not a video, saying the same message with random citizens have been much interesting? May be it would be effecient to do the same video with normal citizens and to broadcast it on TV?
