Welcome to those of you who found your way here after hearing my interview with Michel Martin on NPR’s Tell Me More today. This video is the short film that was played on-air during our chat.

I teamed up with Participant Media’s TakePart.com and hit the road to track down 2012 GOP presidential candidates Romney, Gingrich and Santorum to ask them how they’d protect your right to vote.

Watch my journey then join Why Tuesday? and our movement by signing our petition to move Election Day to the weekend so more people can vote.
