Young people face a so-called “enthusiasm gap,” the media says. We’re the driving force that will make the difference in the midterm election, President Obama says. We’re furious with the system and want change, Republican leaders say.

Well, November 2nd is our chance to speak for ourselves.

To help spread the word about election day, Rock the Vote has teamed up with celebrities, media outlets and our street teams to launch “Vote Fearlessly,” a get-out-the-vote campaign online, on air and on the ground ensuring that young Americans have all the information they need to turn out and cast a ballot on Election Day.

The national public service advertising campaign features dozens of actors and musicians from Joaquin Phoenix, Casey Affleck, Jesse Tyler Furgeson, and Kate Walsh to young stars Jesse McCartney and JoJo to hip-hop artist David Banner to multi-media performer Nick Cannon to comedians Dane Cook and Wayne Brady.

All our ads call on young people to stand up and fight for the ideas and values that they believe in, using our democracy as a tool for ongoing justice and social change, and to vote ‘fearlessly’ on Nov. 2. Additional supporters lending their voices to radio PSAs reminding young people of important deadlines, include Nas, Mike Posner, Pharrell Williams (NERD), Adrian Grenier, and Perez Hilton. Other stars opted to Tweet the Vote, like Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Pink, Maroon 5 and OK Go.

Rock the Vote has already surpassed our goal of registering 200,000 people in 2010, logging more than 280,000 registration downloads with just under two weeks left until election day. These registration efforts lay the groundwork for the possibility that 2010 can become the fourth election in a row where young voters have increased their turnout at the polls. In 2006, young voter turnout was 25 percent, an increase by 3 percentage points over the 2002 midterm election.

Now we need to get out and vote fearlessly on Nov. 2!
