    Very cute video!! Funny thing is the original film they used is in currently circulation of the Detroit Public School system.

    We’ve always taken Agent M to the polls with one (me) or both of us. We walk there and it’s a big thing. I want it to be as important to her as it was to my immigrant grandparents.

    I’ve always taken my (3) kids to the polls! Stroller and all! 🙂 The video was cute! But the message is what’s so important! Good for you for spreading this around.

    I have been taking my boys to the polls since they were infants clad in a “Mommy loves me too much to vote Republican” bib. Now they wear donkey or Obama shirts. I have also taken them to the Obama HQ in Raleigh to volunteer with me so they see the importance of civic duty and grassroots action from a young age. I am proud to report that my kindergartener voted for Obama at his school’s Kids Voting yesterday!

    I’ve taken my son to the voting booth with me several times. And I always stress how important it is to vote. And that if you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain when you don’t like the winner!

    I took both of my kids to the voting booths with me this weekend. AND explained to them why I voted NO on Florida’s ban on gay marriage.

    I didn’t vote this year. I didn’t realize how important it was until AFTER, when my college put together a lecture on why voting is important.
    My mom never took me to the polls and nobody really talked about politics in our house, so I never really knew how it was important to vote – until now. Next year I will be voting, and I regret not voting this year.

    But I believe what this videos message is because I’m an example of what happens when you don’t educate your kids in politics.
