Usher's Message To Vote
Posted: Thursday - October 23, 2008

UsherUsher debuts the Hush single as part of his continued national call-to-service for young people, which began with the Project Restart campaign after Hurricane Katrina, has continued over the years with his own New Look non-profit organization and most recently continued with his appointment as Youth-Chair of the Service Nation Summit attended by over 500 Service Leaders including John McCain, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush.

"Hush is about my awakening over the past 10 years to the social issues in our country and realizing that I have a voice. As Americans we have the right to speak out about slow recovery in the Gulf Coast, a long war and home foreclosures. But complaining isn't enough, you have to also take action," Usher says. "Whether serving at the homeless shelter or going to the polls for the first time, you have to act or else Hush," Usher exclaims.

Usher formalized his passion to give back nearly 10 years ago with the formation of Usher's New Look non-profit organization in 1999. His efforts intensified with the re-launch of New Look in 2005.

"I had reached a point in my life where I realized that the more you lead, the more you serve," explains Usher. "My philosophy is to give kids the skills to become active participants in the world around them. The election process to select our leaders impacts them, even if they can't vote yet," he continues.

Usher has arguably been one of the most active celebrities in the 2008 Presidential elections - he has led youth rallies, organized voter registration drives and stepped forward to participate in voter registration PSA's for Leonardo DiCaprio, DoSomething.org, CNN's League of First Time Voters, The Barack Obama Campaign and through Usher's New Look Foundation. In January 2008 Barack Obama asked Usher to serve as National Co-Chair for his voter registration campaign with national leaders including Civil Rights icon Rev. Joseph Lowery.

He needs to start worrying about his floundering career after these elections are done.
