Game on.
The Bullets have been relatively silent during the past months leading up to tonight.
It’s mainly that we haven’t been talking the talk so much because we’ve been busier than usual walking the walk. We have friends in the military, and friends in Iraq. We have seen friends layed off. We have gay friends that we would like to see be able to marry the ones that they love, should that be where their paths lead.
But beside these facts, and apart from our own personal opinions & beliefs regarding how we truly think that you should vote, we here at The Bullets are, above it all, in love with the process. We always have been. We live in a Democracy. And tomorrow, we get to exercise what is perhaps the most important benefit of that simple fact.
And this is why we have broken our silence so close to the finish line.
Tomorrow is election day. Vote. We’re not here to tell you that you’re wrong, and that you should vote just like we’re voting. You have your reasons. You have a lifetime of thoughts and experiences that have brought you to where you are tonight. They are uniquely your own, and we wouldn’t dare to second guess them for you. We respect all of them. And we respect all of you. We’re not here to shill, or to coerce, or to condescend.
We’re just here to tell you to vote.
Vote your conscience. Vote for what is right for you.
Vote with your heart and your head… because we truly believe that the two aren’t mutually exclusive.
This is the moment.
This is what all the fuss has been about.
It’s your chance to be heard. It’s your chance to to be counted. It’s your chance to not only be a part of history, but to actually make history.
Do not think that your vote doesn’t count. Do not think that the outcome won’t affect you. Do not dismiss this right that you have been endowed with.
There is nothing better to be doing.
There is nothing more important.
Now is the time.
VOTE.
The Bullets wish you a good election experience…
And we now condemn you to humming this
all day.
So shut up and eat your vegetables!

[...] The Bullets: Game on…: I finally got Just Us Nerds back up long enough for my friend Steve to tell you to go vote, just like the Superfriends, although technically Martian Manhunter can’t vote, he’s a resident alien. [...]
