Video channel MTV’s 2008 election year theme is a short, but poignant reminder to all of us about the importance of exercising our right to vote.

Until 1971, most college and university students didn’t have the right to vote, so this November don’t throw away your chance to make a difference. Remember that college students can vote where you go to school; in NH, you can even register to vote on Election Day. Check out our Election Links 2008 where you will find a variety of independent Websites with information on the candidates and the issues. You can use these to “fact check” the accuracy of some of the campaign ads and statements, and even find the candidate that best matches your personal beliefs.
