T.I. Put in His Vote...Who's Next?



America!

On November 4th, we will vote for the 42nd and next President of the United States of America. Wednesday night, Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama aired a 30-minute advertisement focusing on America's economy and what needs to be done. Rapper, T.I., was one of the millions of Americans to watch the ad.

Earlier in the day, T.I. exercised his right to vote in Georgia. "Now rather than just talking about it, I'm being about it. I'm leading by example, and it makes me feel a lot better", he said in an interview. TIP also mentioned that this was the first time in his life that he's ever voted. Originally he thought he was unable to vote because he is a convicted felon, but after researching Georgia law, it read that only people on probation or currently serving a prison sentence are not allowed to vote.
Come November 4, go out and vote!
