Halloween Prank Gone Wrong

A message from Rock the Vote

Hi everyone,

Thanks to all of you who checked your registration status in NY State and sent us an update. We were appalled when we learned that the state of New York was so far behind in processing all the registration forms they received, but with your help, we’ll do everything we can to make sure each of you and really, all new voters, get on the voter rolls and are able to vote in November.

Here is the latest:

After lots of conversations with lawyers today, I have learned that there was a huge backlog of data-entering the registration forms at the county level in NY, but as of Thursday the 23rd at 9:30pm the last form in New York County was supposedly entered, and the other counties should be caught up as well!

I really want to believe this, but our votes are too important to leave to chance. So, here is what we need you to do:

1—CALL THE COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS ASAP. If you turned in a registration form, you should be in your county database now. The person answering the phone can look you up and confirm that you are in fact registered. There is a lag between the county database and the public voter look-up on the website, so you need to call. Here is the list of phone numbers: http://www.elections.state.ny.us/CountyBoards.html

2—LET US KNOW THE RESULTS. Please email vote@rockthevote.com and let us know if you are still NOT on the voter rolls according to the county. This will allow us to identify any problems by county, as well as follow up on your status and ensure you can vote. When you email us, please put your COUNTY as the subject of the email.

If you sent your completed registration form in to a NY State elections office by October 10th, you will be able to vote on Election Day. We'll help make sure of it.

Thanks,

Heather & the Rock the Vote team

Tragedy

I just found out today that Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were killed yesturday in their home in Chicago. It's so sad that malice exists in this world. To take lives without the blink of an eye. My heart goes out to her and her family and hope that her nephew Julian King is found as he was kidnapped. They have an amber alert out for him. How does such tragedy happen to such a seemingly grateful and humble woman. Questions of life that will never be answered. I hope they catch the bastard.

Reality Junkie

So I got another hit of a new reality show called Stylista on the WB.  I don't know why these shows keep me watching with the same formats as all the other shows,,they meet, people hate each other, first challenge, move into a dope crib, second challenge, and someone's eliminated.  The shows premise is for one of them to win the chance to become an editor for ELLE magazine,,I think,,lol (which is my fav mag by the way).  There is a girl named Danielle on the show who is a bit on the plump side with a cute sense of style, and you think,, oh she's gonna be off the show the first week.  And they have you believing it until the boy with the beautiful hair,,,like a certain someone,,ehmm,, gets the boot for losing his personal style and being BORING.  

Moral of the first show:  Don't give up who you are no matter what anyone's opinion is of you. Cuz everyone has one. 

Scarlet takes a tumble,,fast forward till she's on the Table

It got over a million views already

My 20's

Over the years I've learned a lot from Oprah's different shows. In this particular one it was talking about the different stages women go through in their 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's. I pulled a few of these key points which I think reign true and need to constantly remember.

"20's are the age of frustration & anxiety"
"Experience it as a journey in the adventure of your life"
"Listen to your instincts and do it all in your 20's"
"Never give up your power"
"Do the meanial jobs but don't lose yourself"
"Don't think you'll find your career now" Enjoy the different expriences
