dt Votes on November 4th

It will be quiet at dt headquarters on the morning of Tuesday, November 4th.  Every 4 years we have the opportunity to exercise our right to vote for the next president of the United States.  Over the years, I have heard too many stories about not voting due to being too busy that day.  We are not going to let a full inbox or a few mundane morning tasks get in the way of participating in the upcoming election. We are taking off the first few hours of the day so everyone can vote at their local polling station. We will be back in the office by 10:00 AM.

I thought this celebrity studded video was well done.  Typically, Hollywood megastars are delivering a strong message from the left side of the ticket.  However, in this video, they drop their bias and use humor and a bit of common sense to get the point across - if you care about one of the issues we are facing, register and vote.

We encourage you to block off some time in your calendar right now to vote. If you run a company, please give your staff the time to get out of office and vote. The lunch hour is not good enough. Don’t let 1 hour of tasks interfere with a right that only comes around every 35,000 hours. Here’s the link mentioned in the video: www.maps.google.com/vote.
