Come November, these famous friends of TakePart and the I Am Voting For campaign will be all about what (not who) they’re voting for, and encourage you to vote the issues ” not the personalities ” this election season. Forget about race, gender, campaign contributions and ill-spoken statements by loose-lipped advisors. It’s time to distinguish the candidates by the issues we care about, and the platforms that they stand on.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus of Seinfeld fame is voting for “a greener world, less carbon emissions and more fuel efficiency” : 
Adam Goldberg is voting for “more compassion and less ’shock and awe’” :

Don’t miss the rest of the TakePart I Am Voting For PSAs featuring more inspiring messages from Eric Balfour, Hill Harper and Bradley Whitford about what is motivating them to vote in 2008.
Regardless of which candidate you favor, TakePart wants to know what issues are inspiring you to turn out at the polls this year. What are your biggest concerns? Is the environment your number one issue? Perhaps it’s improving our public education system? Corporate lobbies got you down?
and tell us what you’re voting for this fall at eyespot.com. The best video mix will be featured on the Chicago 10 DVD.

[...] Nicole did a great blog post about Takepart’s “I am Voting For..” campaign that got me a little curious about some of the other videos folks have made about the issues that are important to them. They’re all great, but I was really struck by Bradley Whitford’s video: [...]
