I got a chain e-mail from Scarlett Johansson

Normally, I hate chain e-mails, but jeez, Scarlett Johansson
By Will Collette

I got this very cool e-mail and instead of quickly deleting it, I actually paid attention. 

After all, how often do you think I get e-mails from Scarlett Johannson or any other celebrity? Instead of asking me for my Social Security number, bank routing number and ATM password, all she wants me to do is:


  • Make sure I know where I need to go to vote (she even provides a link);
  • Make sure I vote and
  • Tell at least three other people to do it.

So, in answer to her request, I am doing those three things and giving you a chance to do the same by copying her e-mail, below.



Will --

I think you know by now how incredibly high the stakes are on November 4th, especially for women. And if we don't want to wake up on November 5th and find ourselves on the fast track back in time on women's rights, it's critical that Democrats vote.

That starts with you, Will.

Will you take a moment to confirm your polling place, and then forward this email to three of your friends?

If the Republicans take back the Senate, one of the first things they will try to dismantle will be a woman's right to make her own personal health care decisions. This year, I have been appalled again and again by decisions from the GOP and even the Supreme Court that attack a woman's right to choose, and this is our chance to take action.

Our votes on Tuesday are all that can stop Republicans from doing even more damage.

So please, even if you remember your polling place, take a moment to confirm that it hasn't changed, and check that your friends and family have a plan for where and when to vote.

Thanks for stepping up, Will. And if you get your friends to vote, tell them thanks from me!
