If you are in LA and undecided, this is pretty much every reason you need to vote for @ericgarcetti next week.

And if you need more reasons, check out these endorsements from TechCrunch (its first-ever candidate endorsement!) and the LA Times

This is the guy who, in college at Columbia, was a cheerleader, led the literary society, headed a discussion group on gender and sexuality and served the homeless while composing musicals. He speaks Spanish, is the nearly unanimous choice of the tech community, is a foster parent, and serves in the Navy reserves. It doesn’t get much better than that, character-wise.

But, most importantly, tell every Angeleno you know to GO VOTE ON TUESDAY MAY 21!

Today is National Voter Registration Day! MTV’s Power of Twelve asked if i’d make them a poster-y thing…this is it. it encourages voter registration while also warning of the dangers of voting for any candidate with a pro- timetravellingrobotoverlord platform.

I’m absolutely in love with these bic-pen GIFs from MTV. Don’t forget: Vote in September to make it count in November!!
