Calling all pets…Vote. It’s your dog-given right!
Friday, August 24th, 2007
Occasionally you meet someone with a really great, fun and out-there idea that’s unique and timely. Like Linda, who created the concept for mypoliticalpets.com where you can register your pet and vote for your favorite candidate. She wanted to get people involved in the political process in a fun way while also helping to raise money for the Second Chance Animal Shelter in Killeen, TX as well as shelters around the country.
I’m a total animal nut…who has 4 rescued cats and one dog and I’m pretty interested in seeing change happen to improve our political process. So the idea appealed to me right away.
On the site, you create a profile and register your pet with a political party. I didn’t have to think at all when I registered my cat Baxter. He’s democrat through and through. I also have two cats that are clearly republican and another that would probably advocate for a monarchy if given that option (with her as queen of course).
As it gets closer to the election, you’ll be able to cast your pet vote for one of the candidates running for President. It’s truly politics gone to the dogs…and cats…and birds…
It’ll be interesting to see if our pets’ votes can predict the next President.
Great idea. I wish I’d thought of it.
