Moments from history

There are now less than 23 hours to go before the start of the historic 2010 election.

Everyone has a unique opportunity to make a statement with their vote, and we want you to make it as loud and as clear as you can.

More than that, everyone should feel proud to have been a part of a completely grassroots campaign; bound together by social networking, word-of-mouth, and a shared vision of the future - where equal rights and transparency in government are commonplace, instead of inconsistent and haphazard at best.

That we've come so far in such a short time highlights our passion, our will to be heard, and our lack of acceptance of the status-quo.

We have 33 hours until the polls close and the counting begins. We need everyone to stand up and be counted. We need everyone to tell others to stand up and get counted too. Only through sheer force of numbers will we affect change.

Vote for a Gamers4Croydon candidate in your lower-house seat if you can. Electors in Light, Mawson, Norwood, Adelaide and Croydon have a chance to determine the government of the day.

More than just determining government, we have a chance to oversee it. By voting 1 in box "Z" in the upper house, we're giving Gamers4Croydon president, Chris Prior, the best platform to raise our issues, to have our voices heard, and to hold the rest to a higher standard by leading by example.

Below is an image with a How-to-Vote card for Chris and Gamers4Croydon for the Legislative Council. Print as many copies as you feel you can, and hand them out at your local booth on election day after you've voted there.

You might not get everyone to change their vote, but the very fact that you've tried to engage others in the process might mean that you'll get us one, or ten, or a hundred more votes.

Every vote counts.

Stand up and be counted. Tell others to do the same.

This is our chance to write history.

Write it with me.
