Mayoral Candidates Debate

I know everyone is talking about Hilary and Obama, Rudy and Fred.  While the presidential election is over a year away, Pittsburgh is just a month away from a very important election.  Every election day is important.  Pittsburgh needs you to learn about the candidates and vote!  Election day is just a month away.  PUMP is hosting a candidate debate which is a great way for you learn about the two guys who are running for mayor.

Git Aht The Vote…

Here’s a handy, searchable list of polling places in Allegheny County…
Here’s the PG’s election coverage…
Here’s the Trib’s election coverage…
And here’s a picture of Nixon bowling…

And let’s not forget that after voting, you’ll be so drained of energy, salt, and nitrates, you’ll need to replenish with Bacon Night at the Harris, which fits in well with the general theme, I think… I’d go, but I have an interview to confirm my appointment as Cultural Attache to Monaco, the result of some “favors” I did for certain high-level members of the Federal Government. I’m not at liberty to discuss, but I can say that [REDACTED]‘s a lot more fun than she lets on. You just have to get to know her as I have.

Meet the League

I just wanted to share this invitation to meet the PA League of Young voters.  I have had the honor of meeting their national director, Billy Wimstat, on a number of occasions.  Billy is passionate, creative and dedicated to getting more people, young people involved in the political process.  I am now the Pittsburgh rep to the League of Young Voter’s national council.
Pittsburgh’s own Khari Mosley has worked to establish Pittsburgh as a major hub for the League of Young Voters.  Billy, Khari and all of the folks at The League are doing an amazing job of using technology, arts and hard work to bring more people into the political process.  Even if you aren’t “in to politics” this is one fun group of people.  The League of Young Voters, is not just young people, I promise there will be people of all ages there.  I highly recommend you stop by and say hello and check out what they are up to.
