You guys!Khloe and I just got an email from P. Diddy about getting revved up for the upcoming presidential election. I am more psyched than ever to remind you that NOW it is SO important for all of you who are old enough to get involved and vote and tell everyone you know to get out there and vote! Spread the word, everyone has a voice!!!!
It's our responsibility to get the right people in office to get our country back on track!
Who are you guys voting for?
Below I put the email that l I received from Diddy, Jay Z, Mary J Blidge and Kevin Liles. It really inspired me and I hope it inspires you too!!
***LETTER FROM DIDDY***
Dear Family,
We are in a STATE OF EMERGENCY!!! - we are only 31 days from the MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME. We are still at war, banks are closing, and people are losing their jobs and houses every day. It is OUR RESPONSIBILITY to protect our futures. Time is about to run out, and there is still a lot of work to be done. Barack Obama cannot win this election on his own; He needs our help. This election is about US. This election is about our children's futures. We owe it to those who fought and died for our right to vote and our right to be heard.
Barack Obama said it best, "Eight is Enough." No longer will we stand by and follow leadership with no regard for us, and no accountability to us.
We can be the deciding factor in this election. Who are we? We are young America. We are Hip-Hop. We are the culture that has defied statistics and the critics. THIS IS OUT MOMENT OF TRUTH!!!!
We are the leaders of this generation. When we speak, people listen. But the time is NOW for us to use the voices that God blessed us with. We are the ones with the mics, we are the ones on television, we are the ones in the end zone, we are the ones on the court, we are the ones on the radio, and we are the ones in the hearts and minds of young Americans of all colors. WE ARE CHANGE!
Now is the time to do our part to make change a reality and help elect Obama as President. Whether you can speak about it in your radio and television interviews or on stage at your concerts, put it on your website and blogs and push your fans toward it, whether you are head of a street team, or a VJ or DJ. Use your power. If you know 10-20 people, we need to register them to vote and bring them to the polls.
Even if you e-mail every person on your blackberry - do something - DO ALL YOU CAN DO!!!. Make sure that when November 4th comes, we are able to say that we did EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER to make sure that Barack Obama becomes president. We owe this to our children, our parents, our grandparents, and our loved ones. We need you to become a part of Team Obama!!!!!
We are working directly with the campaign and have come up with different ways for you to get involved in this election. We don't need a lot from you, we just need some simple things. Some of you have agreed to do concerts, some of you have agreed to speak in swing states. We all need to continue to DO MORE - video drops, radio interviews, and possibly more appearances as we count down the days to change. This is the most important election in our lifetime. Please use the platform you've been blessed with to urge those who listen to you to make Barack Obama the next President of the United States. Don't forget your personal duty as a citizen. Register to vote, and VOTE TO MAKE HISTORY!!!!!!!
BECOME A PART OF TEAM OBAMA!!!
God Bless,
Sean "Diddy" Combs
Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter
Mary J. Blige

I think it's bullshit that the only reason half of america is voting for Obama is because he's black. And anyone who denies that is blind to the truth. How about researching the facts and vote for someone based on what they stand for. It is time for change, but a change for the worse is not what America needs.
And to all the haters who are no doubt going to interpret this wrong, I'm not racist and I'm not hating on Obama. I just think it's ridiculous that celebrities aren't encouraging you to listen to the debates and vote, they're trying to get you to blindly vote for who they back as president. If your going to vote based on someone else's opinion, try talking to someone who's gone to Iraq and fought for this country if they want their efforts to have been for nothing.

I already plan on voting, but there is NO WAY I'm voting for Obama!!! I think it's good to encourage people to vote, but not to encourage people to vote for a specific candidate just becuase you are voting for the.

Love the video! You know, it's really scary to think just how ignorant so many North Americans are. I lived in the U.S.A for 3 months this year and saw what the real America is like, not just sunny, stylish California - the U.S.A that is portrayed to the rest of the world. Unfortunately I found it to be mostly made up of unintelligent red-necks so it is no surprise to me now why George Bush won the election - it shouldn't even have been close between him and Al Gore. All youhad to do was watch the democratic and republican national conventions to see the difference in each party's supporters. Seriously, you Republicans looked like a bunch of hillbillies! I believe John McCain is a courageous and noble man but Barack Obama is all that and more. In a sense, he has overcome just as many odds as McCain to get where he is today. I am tired of hearing all this nonsense about him being black etc - seriously guys! He is just as much white as he is black is he not?! Forget colour, that is not the issue and I'm sure intelligent Americans like some who have already posted realise that. Barack Obama will be an amazing leader, he has all the right visions and I believe he has the strength of character to see them through. Sarah Palin is not a nice woman and if any Hilary supporters switch to vote Republican simply because there is a woman on the ticket, well, you are idiots. The chosong of your President and Vice-President is too serious of an issue to allow race and gender issues to affect your decision.
Barack is truly inspirational and I'm so excited too see him elected President - it will mean great changes and hope for the whole world and we so need that!
Australia says 'Vote Obama!!'

i vote for obama. he will help with the economy.while the whole world is improving we are having a recession because of bush.obama will help more students to afford colleges etc. he is a good man. He wasn't born with everything so he knows how hard life is for the vast majority of familys that didn't grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth. McCain on the other hand wants to give tax reduction to CEOs and such when the economy is bad and the rich business man doesn't even need it.but money and greed always corrupts people and mcCain is bush the second.plus mcCain, palin, and their supporters speeches, they never talk about how they want to fix the economy even we are in dire needs. the republicans just try to badmouth obama and and link him to teriorist which is stupid.McCAin for his age, is immature too he wouldn't shake obamas hand. and then people caught him so then he now finally shakes obamas hand.if mcCain wins presidency then i know our gov. is corrupted because evryone i know wants obama to be president. republicans and their supporters are trying to make everyone believe that people are voting for obama because he is black which is not true. obama will make a good president. the only people that really care and always say that he is "black" are the republicans(mcCain,Palin,Supporters), they seem to throw that word out to the people a lot. almost like they are trying to build anger and violance against obama. SHADY..REAL SHADY..
