Stars Support National Voter Registration Day
September 25th is National Voter Registration Day – a non-partisan event meant to maximize Americans' ability to vote in this fall's elections. The nonprofit group HeadCount.org has enlisted many top stars to help spread the word, asking everyone from Dave Matthews to Big Boi to pose for photos while holding a "Register to Vote" clipboard. The artists will tweet and post their photos on Facebook with a link to an online voter registration form. Read on for a preview of the campaign.
