The #CantWait2Vote Panic Button is not only a stress reliever, but a powerful tool for action.
Using the #CantWait2Vote button lets people know they’re not alone. When you use the #CantWait2Vote button, you’re take part in a wave of cultural change to get the word out about the issues that matter to you, and about the importance of voting.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: When news or other information flies across your timeline, tv screen, radio broadcast or newspaper that makes you just want to scream, complete the sentence, “I can’t wait to vote because ________________,” then punch the #CantWait2Vote Panic Button on your action page.
Once you press the button, your reason is then recorded on your own personalized #CantWait2Vote page, which keeps a running list that you can check at any time to motivate you to the polls.
You can click the email icon next to your reason to send it to friends whom you are trying to inspire to vote.
If you are on social media, you can click the blue bird Twitter icon next to your reason in order to tweet it out, so that it joins tweets from other voters across the country feeling just like you, creating a collective #CantWait2Vote shout that reminds others to vote, too. (We know that social pressure is a prime motivator for voters!)
