Los Angeles, CA - The Barack or Die! Movement is blazing the campaign trail, vigorously informing, registering and igniting the attention of celebrities, enthusiastic Obama supporters and citizens who have typically been considered politically unconscious. With a bold mission to raise $100,000 dollars, Barack or Die! filters 100 percent of all proceeds directly to the Barack Obama presidential campaign. With the selling of unique, trendy ‘Barack or Die!’ apparel, the movement has already been successful in raising 15 percent of its goal amount in just 3 short weeks. Also, Barack or Die! has gained enormous celebrity backing including Grammy-award winner Ne-yo, Producer/R&B artist Teddy Rily, rapper Lil’ Mama, comedian Brandon T. Jackson, and the list continues to grow.
Inspired by the “Join, or Die” phrase coined by Benjamin Franklin during the 1700s denoting unity, later reinvented by rapper P. Diddy with “Vote or Die”, this movement proves to illustrate the same brave goal: To encourage, inspire and unite young American citizens to become politically aware of the issues that face the United States of America, while highlighting the mission of Barack Obama.
By purchasing an item of Barack or Die! clothing, supporters are fearlessly making the statement that they know the facts about the 2008 election and believe that united, any obstacle can be overcome, a motto Senator Obama lives by. Barack or Die!, Nicholas Gouche, explains “I want to change the perception of how young Americans are being viewed in this election, and show that young people can know the facts and look fly doing it.”
There are 47 million young Americans between the ages of 18-29, yet this demographic has continued to have the lowest voter turnout. The Barack or Die! Movement caters to empower young American voters that a dream for change can become today’s reality.
