"We called a State Of Emergency on October 3rd at 6:00 AM and our culture stood up and recognized the importance of registering millions of voters. From 1st time voters who have just come of age to vote, to those who are participating for the 1st time in the voting process. Your commitment to Change will continue to ring across our America, because we all are in the Right State Of Mind.
"Where it stands today, we are on the verge of making history, the kind of history that will be a part of our culture's legacy. The kind of history that bridges the gap between race, religion and culture, the kind of history that will ignite a light that shines bright from generation to generation, screaming that our voice does matter and our vote does count.
"The kind of history that will enable the next generation of leaders to encourage vision, not division, to encourage hope, not hopelessness, to encourage the power of the people, not the power politics of the few.
"With only 7 days left before we vote for change, let's hold ourselves accountable and responsible. No more excuses, no more mistakes and no more time to waste. If you have the opportunity to vote early in your state then vote today. If you are voting on November 4th, make preparations today.
"We have 7 days to Vote for Change. 7 days to Vote to Make History. We can not slow down. We can not let up. We must push through to history until the final vote is cast and the last ballot is counted. We can, we must, and we will Make It Happen. Vote Obama/Biden on November 4th.
"God Bless,
Diddy
Jay-Z
Mary J. Blige
Kevin Liles"

This letter is good, and very well written. It has a serious tone and that's what i admire most about it. Anything other than this type of letter, or voter registration, i don't care for celebrities to be involved in. This election is serious. It's not the Oscars or the MTV awards. IT's not their time to shine. This election is about the people.

Your wrong when you say this isn't about race. This is another race card. I hope people vote for the qualifications one has rather then the color of their skin. We need a president who knows what they are doing and one who will fight for everything americans believe in. We need Mccain and Palen taking care of all the crap in the white house.
