Step 1- Ask

Step 1. Ask. "In 24 hours, ask your three closest people. (These are people you would call at 3 AM for help, who would say, 'Thank you for thinking of me,' who you know would 100% follow through.")

Share with them: "I'm part of a grassroots 48-hour cell phone voter turnout movement, and we are committed to getting 80% turnout, by the next election, by each one of us asking 3 of our closest, and most reliable people to partner with us, and commit to voting in the next election. I wanted to know if you would be one of my 3 people? (If they say no, thank them for considering it, and still ask them about registering, then move on to your next person.)

If they say yes, ask: "Are you registered to vote? (If not, have them do it right then, in 3 minutes, using their cell phone, at www.vote1234.com”

If they say they're registered, ask them to “go to the site and confirm their information is correct, to ensure they won't have challenges on election day."

Step 3- Accountability

Step 3. Accountability. Then say: "Once you vote, in person or by mail-in ballot, will you please send me a selfie, text, phone call, or email, saying that you voted, and I'll send you mine too, creating accountability for both of us." (You become their first accountability partner.)

Step 2- Acknowledge

Step 2. Acknowledge. After they finish: "Thank them for registering or checking their information." (This creates positive encouragement.)

Step 4- Ask

Step 4. Ask Again. The final ask: Say: "Are you willing to join me and do this same process with your 3 closest people within the next 24 hours at 12:34 pm whenever possible."

(When they agree to participate, immediately ask them to share the names of 4 people; their top 3 choices, plus 1 backup.)

These will be their other 3 accountability partners. Which will dramatically increase follow through for everyone.

Then send them the 1st of 4 pre-written texts or emails, over the next 48 hours, they will explain the entire process. Copy them from the www.vote1234.com website.

Why start at 12:34 pm? By synchronizing our efforts, we amplify our impact. Each time someone sees a clock at 12:34 pm, it will remind them of our cell phone movement, creating a wave of civic engagement. Imagine thousands of people across the country reaching out to their closest contacts at that same moment.

Once You reach 3 people in 24 hours, and that grassroots process is repeated 7 times, your team will have reached over 2,000 People.

Coming in 2026: Make a Difference and Vote Anthem

A Historic Musical Movement for Voter Participation

In July 2026, we will unveil the first biennial "Make a Difference and Vote" anthem celebrating the power of every American's vote. This unprecedented collaboration will bring together 200 of America's most influential voices from across the political spectrum, entertainment industry, sports, business, academia, science, and community leadership.Who will stand together?

Imagine political rivals sharing a microphone... championship athletes beside first responders... billionaire entrepreneurs alongside everyday heroes... Nobel Peace Prize winners alongside grassroots activists... all united by a belief in the democratic process.

More exclusive than the Oscars, Grammys, ESPYs, Nobel Prize ceremony, or Davos Forum. This historic gathering will unite figures who have never before assembled in the same room. Where else would you find presidents alongside activists, world-changing scientists alongside faith leaders, tech innovators alongside community organizers, and entertainment icons alongside humanitarian heroes?

Following in the tradition of transformative musical movements like "We Are The World," this anthem will unite diverse voices that rarely share the same stage, crossing boundaries that typically divide us to deliver a powerful message: When we all participate in democracy, we all win. Throughout history, every great movement has had its anthem, a musical rallying cry that captures its spirit and purpose. "Make a Difference And Vote" continues this tradition, creating a modern anthem for civic participation that will inspire generations.

Check back regularly to discover which influential voices have committed to this groundbreaking project. We'll be announcing participants and sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses as we build toward this historic collaboration occurring every two years.

This isn't just a song – it's a movement to strengthen American democracy through increased voter participation. Join us in making history. Your voice matters.
