WHY: This video is a call to the American millennial generation, and the rest of the country, to speak now with our vote, so that our silence will not echo for generations to come. The "Citizen's Cry" makers are targeting the millennial generation specifically because less than 50% of them have ever voted in a presidential election.
The youth vote of America is of unprecedented importance today; this is a vital audience thatneeds to be reached. Our responsibility to vote is our greatest opportunity for change. It is crucial for all generations, creeds and colors to take action. Help us spread the word. http://...

You forget that democracy is basically "reign of people" - that includes the principle of people's participation, hence their participation at elections. Democracy is built this participation and cannot exist without it. "let people make their own decissions" that's what voting is for - in the first place. That's why millions are spent on campaigning - the quest for the votes. Asking people to vote is tryong to remind people of the basic principles of democracy.

Even our current process is full of flaws, but you must vote to have a voice in it.

How about we just let people make their own decisions as to if they want to vote. If they will, they will, and if they won't, they won't.

The media really needs to stop telling people what is right and wrong. Not everyone is going to agree. This is just another way of them trying to make every issue black and white.

Do what you want. You should have the biggest influence on your views, not what a celebrity tells you.
