For those of you who are Spanish-speakers...

This site was created to help encourage Latinos to vote. My Spanish is almost non-existent--do you think the site is effective?

I think that this is a great web site for Spanish speakers who are interested in voting. In the beginning two famous people to the Spanish community start talking (El Gordo y La Flaca). I think it was a good idea to have them talk because they are very well known and they got the message across clearly. I though this site was helpful and therefore i showed it to both of my parents. They also fund it very informative. They also said that this site will help them in the choices that they will be making tomorrow.

I believe this site is very helpful to those spanish speakers whom are non english speakers. I think it's a very good idea to put two very famous celeberties as the initiation of the site because it attrats the attention of the audience. this is a very informative website in which explains the voting procedure. it is a resourceful website that will boost up the vote amongst latino voters. they will be informed through this website the facts about registering and voting.

This site is VERY effective. It will help get more Latinos to vote. It's easier for the Latinos to get involved when they actually speak their language. The Latino vote will rise with this site because those who didn't vote before, will vote TODAY.

This website is very helpful. From just putting in my address I was able to figure out where I can go to vote. It also has links for people to go register to vote, and also to find out where they have to go to, to vote. They also offer a link that you can use to find any information that you need on voting for the certain state that you yourself lives on. Over all this is very good because all the information is in Spanish and would make it so much easier for people who do not know any English to get information about everything that is going one in the elections now.

This site in Spanish is very useful. It is easy to access and has some very useful links. It has a guide to vote, events, commonly asked questions, you can locate the nearest polling place, register to vote, information about the state you live in. This is a very useful site for Latinos because it gets them informed. Latinos usually have a low voting turnout and hopefully with these useful sites it can change this year. I heard on the news that more Latinos are voting. On the Spanish speaking channels, there has been many commercials and talk shows informing people about the elections and talking about different issues. I think it has been a good idea to motivate people through talk shows and commercials. I even found out through this website that my dad doesn’t go to the closest polling place to our house. I thought this was really cool website and especially very useful.

I think this website is good especially because it seems to have a popular vote for Spanish speakers. Meaning that many Spanish speakers might look at this website for the fact that it has two famous people that come out on a popular T.V. show on channel 14. Both my parents enjoy that show, so I know if I showed them this website they would pay attention to it. So I think this is a great website to help people understand what's going on and encourages them to vote if they can.

I kinda liked this commercial! It really encourages hispanics to vote! I think a lot of latinos think their vote doesn't make a difference. They are also itimidated by maybe the ballots being in english, they might not understand a lot of thinkgs going on the translation is a big factor! I think this commercial as well as Obama encouraged 2/3 of latino voters to vote and a suprising number registered to vote for the first time! It is intense, a great break through and am happy with the results!
