Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie fame posted this video on Rolling Stone’s political blog today.

For all the amber waves of grain and swelling strings that have surrounded this election cycle, this video may be the best testament to why voting, and political engagement, is so important.

I’m putting my ‘country first’ by voting for Barack Obama, because I believe in his message and I believe that his leadership is exactly the antidote we need in these troubled times.

The expectations are high, higher than any one man can meet. Barack will let us down in some ways, that’s inevitable, but the genuine movement that he has created will better this nation for years to come. For that alone, I am so proud to support him.
