This is a pretty big election. Tomorrow we elect the new leader of our country at a pivotal time. I don't envy the next president, as he will have to deal with a deteriorating economy, global warming, and a nuclear Iran. It's not a position I would seek, and I do question their judgment for running in this election.

But hopefully one of these candidates for president will turn our country around. We're not endorsing any candidates, but we are encouraging voting. If you vote tomorrow, email us and we'll give you 25% of your t-shirt order. Just email us and say "I voted." And we'll send you a promo code.

Here are some other promotions that cool companies that care about our world are running:
California Tortilla: Local to Washington DC, they are giving out free tacos if you have the "I voted" sticker
Starbucks: An up and coming National chain of coffee beans is giving out free coffee
Ben and Jerry's: The coolest and most socially conscious entrepreneurs are giving out free ice cream.

If I was you, here's how I'd hit for the cycle. Wake up. Vote early (and often). Swing by Starbucks for your morning fix. Then hit up California Tortilla for lunch, and top it off with Ben and Jerry's. Then when you're bored at work, check out our funny t-shirts and grab that t-shirt you've been wanting to buy yourself or your friend at a highly discounted rate!

The best thing about this blog post is that it was inspired by Noam Weinblatt, my brother. He's driving all the way home from college to Make a Difference and wanted to make sure that I give a shout out to voting and all those great companies encouraging it.

Last nights Presidential debates were quite interesting. McCain looked like a 45 year old beauty queen. Remind me to hire his make up artist next time I'm on national television. He performed well too, pointing out Obama's shortcomings and referencing his countless trips abroad and relationships with heads of states.

Obama looked calm and reserved--focusing on the future and how he can help bring change to our country. As he usually does, he spoke in broad idyllic terms, which promoted his sense of non-partisan talk.

The candidates had some fundamental differences, which was important to see them battle head on.

But I think the real winner was Jim Lehrer. What a class act. How come he hasn't run for president yet?

Oh and why wasn't anyone wearing any of our political t-shirts? Or funny t-shirts? What's the deal here. I refuse to vote for any president that can't rip off his tie and support Crooked Monkey's funny t-shirts.
