Writing for PR

Well today is election day!! Our country is either going to remain at a stand still or become socialist nation! Today, was the first time I have ever voted in a presentational election. It was amazing to how so many businesses took advantage of election day and used it as means of PR for their individual organizations.
After I finished voting, I returned my voting card and was handed a "I VOTED" sticker. I was walked around campus just about everyone was wearing the sticker and discussing the election. This particular election turned voting into the "cool thing to do." My university student association is throwing a huge election party all night, as well as other universities around the nation. Hip social places such as Star Bucks and Ben and Jerry's gave voters free products.
Even the popular college social networking site face book is a huge part of this years election by providing polls, debates, and voting bumper stickers. I am definitely impressed with how many citizens have taken the time to vote, most importantly college students.
