What does "V.O.T.E." stand for? One camp feels that it's the same kind of non-acronym as "R.O.C.K." (". . . in the U.S.A"). "Very Obvious Total Emergency" might get my vote. Hey, you can pick your own slant--on the way to
the polls, see you there.

"V.O.T.E." Lyrics

If you don't get out and vote this year,
You're really not groovin'
It takes every one of us
to keep the country movin'

You can make it to the polls,
you can get it together
Won't you meet me there?
we'll vote,
we can make things better
V-O-T-E: Vote!
