the country you love could be your own (FP voter guide 2010)

the official 2010 Voter Guide from False Profit HQ:

Here at False Profit LLC, we care about politics. And we know that you care about politics too. We noticed that one time you read that article about politics and stuff and shared it on your Facebook account. That was totally cool. Now we have another opportunity to make a difference.

Whether or not you believe voting makes a difference doesn’t matter. You should do it because it’s awesome. And nowhere does it matter more than in local elections. Best of all, voting gives you the right to complain. As a San Francisco resident, that’s an inalienable right that they can’t take away from you, no matter how hard they try.

So be sure you vote on Tuesday, November 2. Or else Olivia Wilde will be very pissed at you.

Below is your handy Cheat Sheet to print and take to the polls. Check our web site for the full explanations and more links to do your own research.

Remember: The country you love could be your own.
