Friends don't let friends not vote!

One of the most effective, and funny, viral e-mail campaigns of this election season is the "Get out the Vote" campaign of MoveOn.org. People who receive the e-mail click on a video of a fake newscast one week from today that reports John McCain beat Barack Obama by ONE VOTE, and that one vote was YOURS ! Your name is shown in the news report on the headline of a newspaper, the caption on the newscast graphics and even on graffiti identifying you as a "Loser!" It's hilarious!
Once you get the e-mail you can forward it to many more people. Enter their name and e-mail address and when they click on the video, they'll be the one blamed for losing the election for Obama!
MoveOn.org writes: "Studies show that by far the best way to get people out to vote is to convince them that (a) everyone else is voting, and (b) everyone will know if they don't vote. This video does both—with a smile (or smirk, in some cases)."
Here's where to start.
