P. Diddy Gets The Vote Out

2004_07_citchange.jpg

Sean "P. Diddy" Combs announced his voter-registration/voter interest drive initiative, Citizen Change, earlier this week. The way to reach the 42 million voters between 18 and 30? The urgent, fatalistic and ultimately pithy: "Vote or Die!" (It also sounds like a video game.) The program is non-partisan, non-profit, and chock full of celebrity endorsers, with 50 Cent, Leonardo DiCaprio, Snoop Dogg, and Jay-Z and Ashton Kutcher on board. Vote or Die! shirts went on sale earlier this week, and Diddy Combs will be making appearance at both conventions - the Democratic National Convention on July 29 and the Republican National Convention on September 2.

Ta-Nehisi Coates' Village Voice article about Diddy's press conference is critical ("Combs's effort reached beyond celebrity media whoredom into political media whoredom" referring political strategist James "Serpenthad" Carville who is working with Diddy) but gives Diddy credit: "Arrogant he may be, but Combs is one hell of a showman." Newsday's Ellis Henican is dazzled by Combs, calling him what the election needs. Gothamist has to hand it to Diddy - he's out there, trying to do get young people interested in issues, whether he's running to help NYC city schools or seizing politics to remind people they do have a voice, so we can only wish him the best.

"Serpenthad"?

That said, I think "Vote or Die" is extreme and silly and ultimately dilutes the urgency of Diddy's message. Despite the admirable vote-rocking context, the imperative voice followed by the word "Die!" can't help but be anxiety-producing. The whole Diddy thing is starting to take on these creepy crypto-fascist overtones -- have you seen the building-high billboard of him with power fist raised, looming over Times Square? Makes me feel like I'm supposed to genuflect or something.

Did MTV ever give an official response as to why there wasn't a "rock the vote" campaign in 2000?

Only people riding in mini-vans strapped into adult car seats wearing helmets and eye protection would object to the use of the word die in this context. get over yourself. Whore the Vote. Vote or lose control of your bowels. Vote or 50cent will de-flower your daughter, etc...

Puff is an arse, but I find his contribution admirable. Barbara Streisand has much to say on politics but doesn't do a thing. I guess that makes P. Didd less phony than others.
Vote or Spontaneously Combust.

WHERE CAN I BUY A VOTE OR DIE T-SHIRT FROM?

to get vote or die shirts go to cafeshop.com or cafepress.com

Those VOD tee's are definitely hott but iono where to get the REAL one like the one Diddy sports in the pic above i looked at cafeshops.com and they do have VOD shirts but its nutn like the Diddy shirts so if anyone one has any info bout where i can find an official Vot or Die tee hit me up. thx!

MTV says the shirts are made by Sean John, P Diddy's clothing company. They are not available on-line, they you can only get them in stores

"Fatalistic" and "urgent" it may be, but I can't agree that the slogan is "pithy." The Bush administration has initiated multiple wars and declared that the War on Terror may well extend beyond our lifetimes.

The fact that they have been working to reinstate the draft (for women and men alike, no exceptions for college students, and they've already begun tightening up the Canadian border) demonstrates that for young Americans, the possibility of dying very soon if we don't vote is REAL.

(Don't believe me about the draft? Check out or Google "Bush draft reinstate" or anything like that. Rumsfeld has claimed that they're not currently planning to reinstate the draft, but they're also trying to push the bill through such that it will be effective in 2005.)

(Side note: other deaths due to by the Bush administration's policies include those caused by increased pollution brought about by Bush's favors to big businesses. The draft is rather more concrete, though.)

where can i find the shirt that puffy had on. its not at macys.

yep, WHERE CAN I GET THE DIDDY SHIRTS??????

I want a shirt!!! But, anyway, I don't think that the slogan is that bad. I thought it might be a play on the phrase "Ride or Die." But, maybe I'm wrong. In any case, I don't think it's silly at all.

Aight I found this post hilarious, I am trying to figure out if it is about where my man can get his shirt or if it's about politics. I saw the shirt when I was in Dr. Jays about 2 weeks ago, I was gonna cop it but the price was 30 dollars and I was thinking that is alot of money for a T-shirt so I let it slide. Later on I thought about it and realized the shirt was hot. A week later being August 20th I decide to go get it they had one 2xl left. I sparked a convo with shorty from the store she was like they only got like 5 in and they sold out quickly. They had one sz large left for any one who wants it, it's @ Dr. Jays in Newark New Jersey!

My suggestion for those of u who want the shirt is to e-mail this dude to see if he has any more.

Chris, you need to know your facts before you post.

Yes, it is true that your boy said, "The people who did this will pay"...

HOWEVER, he has yet to do a damn thing to avenge America! Here, it's been almost 3 yrs since America was disrespected in 2001 and all he's done is USED our 911 victims as an excuse to go into Iraq and finish what his father was unable to by stealing the oil rights and taking Sadam out. Did Sadam need to be taken out? YES. Has Bush successfully avenged the ones responsible for 911 (Bin Laden and his boys), HELL NO, he HASN'T. Is Kerry the better choice for our next President? Only time will tell...

So stop letting your boy, Bush brainwash you and learn to think for yourself. OPEN UP YOUR EYES, PLEASE!!!

And Ps:

The term phrase, "Vote or Die" is not to be taken litterally, DUH. It doesn't translate into, "vote or we will kill you". It translates into "vote or Bush will risk you and or someone in your family or circle of friends to die".

THINK, Anon, moegolden and anyone else who is perceiving that simple phrase the wrong way...

That said,

VOTE OR DIE!

Published: Aug 19, 2004 Author: Useful fools Post Date: 2004-08-19 09:34:24 by happy fun ball 1 Comments As you read this, remember that Benedict Arnold also was a decorated warrior. Kerry said:I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command. There are many things wrong with this statement. The "investigation" did not check the background of those "150 honorably discharged... veterans." Others have since done so, after a Congressionally ordered investigation failed to substantiate even one of the allegations! Many of those "veterans" had never been to Vietnam. Some had never even served. Others could not possibly have been present at the events they testified to. And he sure as hell didn't represent "all those veterans." On top of that, Kerry implied that war crimes were U.S. policy. And: They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, tape wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the country side of South Vietnam Now, why do you think Kerry is telling these lies against his fellow Veterans while his country is at war? Here is the origin of the damaged veteran myth that is still widely held: The country doesn't know it yet, but it has created a monster, a monster in the form of millions of men who have been taught to deal and to trade in violence, and who are given the chance to die for the biggest nothing in history; men who have returned with a sense of anger and a sense of betrayal which no one has yet grasped. Again, this is nonsense. First of all, there weren't millions in combat. There were only 2.5 million vets who even set foot in the country. The vast majority were not in combat. Second, polls then and polls now showed that most people were proud of their service and recently have said that given the chance, they would do it again. blacks provided the highest percentage of casualties

Flip: In October 2002, Kerry voted for the Iraq war resolution sought by Bush. Kerry voted against an alternative that would have authorized force only if the U.N. Security Council sanctioned it. The resolution Kerry supported stated, "The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to … defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq."
Flop: Soon after voting for the resolution, Kerry expressed dismay over the march to war. He said he wouldn't "support the president to proceed unilaterally" and consistently criticized administration policy leading up to the invasiont
Now read what the RNC has done for you and you tell me who you want
(1)CNN: What brings you to the RNC. Is there a particular issue you are here to support?
KING: My issue is the inclusiveness of African-Americans who have been excluded. When George Bush says he wants one America he is reaching out to African Americans. He struck a chord that goes to the root of racism by appointing qualified people to top positions. Colin Powell as secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice [as] national security adviser, and in so doing he gave a new sense of dignity to those who have been disenfranchised, who have been left out, giving the very thing we've been seeking for 240 years ... by appointing blacks in important positions. Not that they are toadies or sycophants or Uncle Toms, but qualified people who just happen to be black ... symbolizing ... one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Four more years for George W. Bush
(2)
Did anyone tune in to "Hannity and Colmes" tonight on Fox? There was a black minister, Rev. Wayne Perryman, who authored the book "Unfounded Loyalty" in which he reports how historically, the Republican Party has been the party of and for the advancement of black people.
He absolutely tears ups the Dems for taking the black vote for granted for decades. He brought out such interesting points as how the Ku Klux Klan was the "arm" of the Democratic Party at one time to oppress the black vote; how since it's inception 212 years ago, the Democratic Party has been a vicious oppressor of black Americans until they needed their votes in the recent past three decades.
I know that Kennedy and Johnson pushed through the Civil Rights Act in the '60s but I also remember, growing up in the South, that it was Southern Democrat Politicians who relegated black people using separate public restrooms and water foutains. It was progressive Republicans who fought for equal rights for black Americans.

The president's vision is a compassionate, caring system that makes health care more accessible and more affordable for all Americans.

(4)
while that fact may not have been heralded at Madison Square Garden this week, it is largely responsible for the best long-term economic statistic that Republicans cited.
By one measure, President Bush has presided over a reversal of the trend to smaller government that began nearly 30 years ago. That measure is the share of wage and salary income that comes directly from governments, and its rise has helped keep the economy growing
(5)
The No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law by President Bush on Jan. 8, 2002. The 670-page law states that its goal is to "close the achievement gap with accountability, flexibility and choice, so that no child is left behind."
It directs states to develop plans to measure students' proficiency in math, reading and science. States must create statewide standards that should be taught in all schools and measured in all students. All students -- including those in special education and other special programs -- are to be proficient in the three subjects by 2014.
Minnesota measures proficiency using the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments tests, standardized evaluations administered statewide.
In addition, No Child Left Behind directs that all students be taught by "highly qualified teachers," all schools be safe, all students be proficient in English and all students graduate from high school.

Man, you people are some morons. All you care about is buying the dumb t-shirt and emulating a celeb, not engaging in any actual political thought. The thought of MTV/Sex and the City/Jimmy Choo/BET lemmings like you voting based on this is scary as hell. Please stay home.

You guys probably thought Cameron Diaz on Oprah was inspiring too.
