To continue from my last week's weblog discussion about (PEST) analyze. I found an article from the BET website educating the community about the Politics of the rights to vote for 2012. With the 2012 elections around the corner, some entertainers had somehow found their way to give back to the community by enlighten other about the rights to vote.
According to BET (2012) weblog, the rapper Tauheed "2Chainz"Epps is teaming up with the Hip Hop Caucus as a spokesperson for educating young voters on the ex-felon voting rights in the 2012 Respect My Voice! Campaign.
The Caucus, the Campaign has run for two elections season to register, educate and mobilize young voters between the ages of 18 and 40 years old. This campaign also focuses on enlightening ex-felons about their misinformation about their voting rights.
According to the (2012) weblog the rapper stated, "It meant so much to me when I learned that I had the right to vote, because I'm an ex-felon, who has been blessed with the opportunity to completely turn my life around and become a positive influences to my family and community."
To learn more about Respect My Vote! 2Chainz has wrote a letter to express his thoughts on the pledge to vote.
