Respect My Vote Brings T.I. To D.C.

In 2004, voting was promoted in a new way that hasn’t been seen before. Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Pres. Hip Hop Caucus, and Diddy came up with the campaign Vote or Die. Unlike before this year we are greatly influenced by the Sen. Obama having a chance to win the election coming up. To insure that Sen. Obama gets elected Rev. Lennox joined up with another heavyweight of the Hip Hop genre, TI.

Rev. Lennox and TIs collaboration created the Respect My Vote campaign which will hopefully bring in more young voters to the polls. The Respect My Vote campaign kicked off yesterday in Washington DC with a performance by Mambo Sauce and an open floor discussion. The discussion was led by TI and a host of celebrities that included Dawn from Danity Kane, Young Berg, Maino, Wale, Young Steff, Washington Wizard Etan Thomas, Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Killieberew, Immortal Technique, Pleasure P, World. Class Sprinter and Champion Michael Walton, and BET Executive Vice President Stephen Hill. This tour will continue to travel to 16 other cities.
