Register to Vote!
Your Vote is Your Voice at Boston University and everywhere else.
Not happy with your city's ordinances? Frustrated by your federal government? Hoping a certain candidate will win or measure will pass in your state? Say it with your vote.
There is no more stronger voice in our government than registering to vote and exercising that right. It's your right to march and protest, and if you are unhappy, you should keep on going. But be sure you don't get swept up and forget to really say how you feel by voting.
To help, we've added two new links:Each have information about how to register & vote in either Massachusetts or your home state.

Is this officially part of Boston University?
No, this blog is not yet officially part of Boston University. It will be part of a proposal to the new Student Union Elections Commission & Student Activities Office to help connect with students on campus.
Blogging & other Social Networks are the best ways to connect with the most students on campus. The days of promoting door to door have faded and the Elections Commission needs a better way to communicate with the students it serves.
Check back to see progress and whether the new SUEC will adopt the "bu votes" campaign.

The concept behind the BU Votes Campaign is to be unique and not blend into the background of Boston University or the web.
Just like no blogger wants to feel his or her blog is "just another blog" no voter wants to feel like his or her vote is just another vote that doesn't matter.
A bookmark will be added to Ning to help bloggers customize and even design their own blog, just as BU Votes has done. Remember to be as bold with your vote as you are with your blog.
