VOTE!


Also, if you are having a problem, any kind of problem- experiencing an irregularity in voting, if you’re being intimidated, or turned away, call Election Protection at 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683). They are a non-partisan group overseeing election irregularities.

You can also call the Democratic Party’s Voter Protection hotline, 1-877-US-4-OBAMA (1-877-87-4-62262) or CNN’s Voter’s Hotline at 1-877-GOCNN08 (1-877-462-6608). The RNC doesn’t have a dedicated hotline, but you can contact the McCain campaign here or call 1-703-418-2008 as well.*

*(gacked from [livejournal.com profile] anywherebuthere)

This message brought to you by your local [livejournal.com profile] hackthis dealer, who is urging everybody who can cast a vote in this election, to do so. Immediately. You don't vote, you can't complain, and if you try, someone will come to your house in the middle of the night and steal all your toys.

ETA: Also, lest I haven't told you before, I am so very honored and proud of every last one of you for getting out and making your voice heard. Yes, people who don't live in the US that goes for you too. In fact, I am so pround, that if you come here and tell me you voted (you don't even have to tell me who for), I will write you a one sentence story if you also give me some prompts to work with. This will work out in your favor since we all know I am incapable of writing a sentence that doesn't turn into three. And yes, non-US residents you can come and take advantage of me until I leave for the campaign party too. I am feeling magnanimous today. Okay, I'm off to do campaign stuff, so the offer is closed, but if you're already in, then I will take care of you when I get a chance. Everybody else there's GK, The OC, Clooney in 2008, Chuck, Harry Potter, Ocean's 11, Psych and some other stuff in there, so enjoy! And VOTE

I voted! And I would love to hear about Shawn and Gus at the polls. Por favor! ;)

One sentence. ten paragraphs. you know I'm wordy like that.

Gus has his pen in hand when Shawn pops into the polling booth beside him. "Oh my god! Are you voting Yes on 8?!" Shawn shrieks in a mock falsetto. "I thought you were going to marry me and make an honest man of me, Gus! How could you?"

The entire polling precinct is staring at them. Gus can feel his face going red. "Shawn, get out of my booth," he hisses between his teeth.

"Is there a problem here?" a voting official demands. "You're disturbing the other voters."

"No," Gus insists, "there's no --

"He promised to marry me," Shawn declares emphatically, "And now he's voting to take away that right. I'm shocked and appalled. You are totally not getting laid tonight, buster," Shawn asserts.

Gus can feel his ears burning. "I was voting NO on 8, Shawn," he says entirely too loudly. "NO ON 8!"

"Oh," Shawn says with some modicum of shame. "I just, I saw you, with the pen and the --"

"Can you make him leave?" Gus asks the official with some desperation. "He's disturbing me too?"

"I'll be waiting for you outside!" Shawn calls at the election official drags him away. "We can go and get married today! Gay marriage forever!" Shawn hollers from the doorway.

Gus goes back to his ballot. Damn, Shawn for making him gay. And damn California for this stupid anti-gay marriage initiative.
