We live in America, and voting is important.
So don’t take your constitutional right for granted.  Step up and make your voice heard!
Vote for VH1’s 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs!
Vote early, and vote often.  (For the show, not for the upcoming Presidential election.  That’s more of a one-vote-per-citizen sort of thing.)
