TAKE OFF TUESDAY OFFICIALLY AWESOME

2008.Oct.27. Monday - by Beowulf Jones

And by “awesome,” we mean “accessible to those with internet access, a functioning web browser, and the desire to encourage voter participation and discussion within their workplace.” But all that couldn’t fit into the given headline space.

As you might remember, a few weeks back, our buds at thehappycorp global created a landing page for the initiative, which asks employers help bring up voter turnout by giving their workers a mulligan for the day — with the understanding that they’ll be spending their time off weighing the issues one last time and then fulfilling their civic duty at the polls.

Now the rest of the site has landed. Refresh the home page and you’ll find a slew of stats on recent U.S. voting history. Click Participants and you’ll find a listing of the companies involved and have the opportunity to sign up yourself. Click Meet Up and you’ll be able to register a Take Off Tuesday-related event of your own making. (Wanna organize an office discussion of the candidates and the issues for sometime in the coming week? Here’s your chance.)

And just FYI: Take Off Tuesday is a seriously stellar concept. We highly recommend you take the day off for this cause.

    If I had a job other than haunting my bedroom, I know I would take you kind fellows up on this offer! But for now, I think I’ll just swoop down on those dimwits at the Capitol and lay much abuse on them with my hat.
