A little dated, but still an excellent example of online activism and the power of networking.

I always tell young people, "I always vote. But I won't have to live with the consequences of my vote as long as you will. As long as you don't mind living with my decisions, don't register or vote. If you don't want some old lady you don't even know deciding your future, then you'd better. Besides, we haven't done a very good job so far." Glad to see others are adopting a modified version of my pitch.
