Decided since my voting location was so close that I would walk to do my civic duty. Not only did I get to vote for the next president but I got to get a little exercise and help myself as well as my country.

He is the little video I took along the way.....

Dont forget to vote...you still have time. Help make our country a better place.

Current has announced that while the presidental debates are going on before the election our tweets from twitter will be streaming as Obama and McCain face off. They are calling it "Hack The Debate".

Current is partnering with Twitter to give your feedback and voice a home -- on TV as the various candidates debate. There will be four debates total, and we'll be broadcasting them live on Current TV as well as live streaming them on Current.com.

The first debate is Sept 26th and the twitter stream during the debate will be on the channel itself as well as on current.com

I for one look forward to seeing how this little thing will work....will it be the greatest thing ever? probably not...but I think its a great way of using technology to let people share their voice...but with that said I am sure there will be some tweets that do not make the broadcast.

What are your thought on this idea? Let everyone know...lets discuss.
