That's a first. I mean, buses from this side of town.

Good! Brilliant! Finally!

Obama has signed up millions of new voters...if other schools/churches and Christian businesses do this we can try to at least cover some of that gap

For those of us who don't follow politics that closely, what is the DATE of election day?

i think campus praise is probably doing some of the concert duties, hopefully not all though

wouldn't an all day concert cause some people to NOT go out and vote?

Depends on who it is....the idea could be, to chase the people to the polls
