The Great Schlep
The Great Schelep is a pretty cool idea/website where Jewish kids sign up to visit their grandparents in Florida and talk to them about voting for Senator Obama in November. From their website:
The Great Schelep aims to have Jewish grandchildren visit their grandparents in Florida, educate them about Obama, and therefore swing the crucial Florida vote in his favor. Don’t have grandparents in Florida? Not Jewish? No problem! You can still become a schleper and make change happen in 2008, simply by talking to your relatives about Obama.
Even better, Sarah Silverman has done a video for them that is 12 different kinds of hysterical and awesome. Enjoy:
