A big PSA before the election

Alright, this is ripped directly from the latest post Mike Rowe made on his Facebook page, I'll link it here: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealMikeRowe/

I just really like what he said here, and I think it is a very important thing to take into consideration. With all of the anti-Trump rhetoric going around and the celebrities making videos to encourage people to go to the polls and vote against Trump, its important to make sure you're an INFORMED voter. If you're going to just go and vote against someone because your favorite celebrity doesn't like that person, you're just like those idiots who believe in Scientology or Anti-Vaxxers. I'm not going to endorse anyone here, I think that really takes away from Mike's message, but we need to campaign for more INFORMED voters, vs. more voters in general. If you don't want to take the time to look up each candidate's individual politics, you shouldn't be voting in the first place. Anyway, here's Mike's post:

A friend shared this article on my page and I couldn't find the original interview...just wondering if it was real. http://qpolitical.com/24-hours-after-last-nights-debate-mi…/
Hi Jessica
As a rule, I try not to repeat myself. I find it both redundant and repetitive. Yesterday though, a piece I wrote back in August was reposted on a site called qpolitical. It now appears to have gone viral. I’m glad, because for once, the words are in fact my own – reprinted exactly as they first appeared on this very page. https://www.facebook.com/TheRealMikeRowe/posts/1254500967893377
The only mistake is the headline. I didn't write this in the wake of Sunday's debate; I wrote it back in August. My original post was an explanation to a fan as to why I would never use my celebrity - such as it is - to persuade people I’ve never met to cast a ballot. I’m re-sharing today for several reasons.
1.Everyday, someone asks me to encourage the electorate to vote. I won't do that, and the attached article explains why.
2. Since my original post, social media has become flooded with celebrities who seem determined – absolutely determined – to do everything in their power to persuade their fans to cast a ballot in November. Neil Patrick Harris, James Franco, Julianne Moore, Don Cheadle, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Stanley Tucci, Martin Sheen…there are too many to count.
3. None of these celebrities encourage their fans to get informed – only to vote. And all of them seem to believe it’s your civic duty to cast a ballot. It’s not. Voting is a right, not a duty. The difference is important to understand.
4. I’m flattered. qpolitical has interspersed my original words with images of me addressing various crowds from various stages, and strolling down random streets with purpose. All this imagery creates the impression I’m presenting my thoughts to a variety of different audiences. A man on the move! It's a much more interesting dynamic than static shots of my kitchen table, where the article was actually written, and where most of my deep thinking occurs...

Oh and if this ends up getting any publicity, I'd love to use it to promote Mike's foundation, known as mikeroweWORKS. It is a foundation for getting money to people so they can learn trades for jobs that actually exist:http://profoundlydisconnected.com/foundation/
