My friend Claire's high school is emphasizing to its students the importance of voting, and one of the projects to that end is a contest to see which class can get the most people to promise to vote Tuesday. It doesn't matter who you're voting for, or whether you're voting absentee or at a polling place. The important thing is that you will vote.
So here's the plea: if you are a registered voter in the U.S., declare your intention to vote now by leaving a comment to this post, including your name. If you're squeamish about leaving your name on the Internet, email me at perspectives@savepenguins.com and I'll forward your name on to her. She needs names ASAP, so declare your intentions early.
As a followup, get your butt off the sofa Tuesday and vote. If you're voting absentee, you may keep your butt on the sofa for the voting process and remove it to mail the ballot.
