Vote Josh: Digital Flyer

I'm running for MPP with the Green Party of Ontario in Eglinton-Lawrence. Instead of printing paper flyers, I wrote this song as a digital flyer. You can help save a tree by sharing it online.

LYRICS:

I'm running in Eglinton-Lawrence for MPP
And 'cause I'm Green I want to do things sustainably
So instead of printing my info on a cut-down tree
I wrote this song to spread the word digitally

Please share this digital flyer
For my campaign to be MPP with the Green Party
Whether or not you desire
To elect me, if you retweet me, you'll save a tree

Whether you're my mom with one Facebook friend, and it's me
Or have a million followers as a celebrity
Please share this on Twitter, Facebook or even your blog
And you'll live longer 'cause there will be less smog

Please share this digital brochure
To save a tree that can instead clean up the air
Whatever your politics, it's kosher
'Cause retweeting this will save the Earth and you live there

Hey Margaret Atwood, I share your love of libraries
And unlike Doug, I'd recognize you, so please retweet

Rachel McAdams, you're not on Twitter but you've got a site called greenissexy
And I'm proof of that. Well, sort of. I get love letters from David Suzuki.

Steven Page, I hear you power your house with Bullfrog energy
If I had a million dollars, I'd invest in that company

Nelly Furtado, you Tweeted that you love Elizabeth May
Well, so do I, and she's got a seat now, so how about throwing some of that eco-love my way

Please share this digital flyer
Justin Timberlake, your eco views and mine are in synch
Please share this digital flyer
Mike Schreiner, you're my leader, hope you think this song doesn't stink

Please share this digital flyer
Sarah Harmer, you love the Green Belt and green belts look on me
Please share this digital flyer
Justin Bieber you're a teen, so help me help the kids go green

Ok, Justin Timberlake isn't even Canadian, but that's my point. It doesn't matter what country you're from - We all breathe the same air. And also, he's got 4 million Twitter followers. But there are plenty of other eco-minded Canadians and Ontarians. George Stroumboulopoulos, you had your Million Acts of Green. Why not make retweeting this one of them? It would only be one millionth of... Anyway, all of you, my main point is that it doesn't matter if you vote Green or not or whatever. The most important thing you can do is vote. So on October 6th, share your thoughts at the polls.

This is a complete joke. Politics is serious, this is just stupid. Good God...

[JoshRachlis]

Exactly my point - Politics is serious business, and nothing's more important than cleaning up our environment. That's why I had to do something that would get noticed - Which apparently worked, because you saw this. :)

Very creative. I shared the video. Best of luck!

[glenfarrelly1]

Great video - glad to see the Greens in my riding using social media so well!

You know whats a real joke... How many politicians are fake and can't take a chance to actually be genuine. I think this is pretty awesome. It's time politicians stand up for what they actually believe in. Not just run a campaign to get elected.

+1 sub ;)

[ExoWarp]

Ha :) Politicians hardly take politics seriously. Come on now. Lord have mercy.

[TMegginson]

Keep up the good work, Josh.
