A campaign launched in 2004 by actor/businessman/producer/designer Sean "Diddy" Combs supported by his non-profit organization "Citizen Change", is a new movement which aims at a goal that many politicians have always failed in the past. It's goal is to get young people to use their right to vote and make a change. This new movement uses music and fashion to reach to America's youth. Many celebrities such as, Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Sean "Jay-Z" Carter, Paris Hilton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mya, Gwen Stefani, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen, Alicia Keys, Pharrell Williams, Oprah, Mariah Carey, Terry "Hulk" Hogan, Nick Cannon, Xzibit, Nichole Ritchie, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Trina, Hilary Duff, & many more. Most of these celebrities are role models for a majority of America's youth.
I think this is a good method to get the youth of America to vote. I feel this because if many young males between the ages of 18 to 21 see their favorite artsist like Jay-Z or Pharrell sporting the "Vote Or Die" t-shirt, this may inspire them to get out and vote. Also, artist like Alicia Keys or Hilary Duff will inspire many young women to vote and young girls who will be coming of age to vote in future elections.
