Diddy Encourages Young People to Vote

Sean Combs, otherwise known as, "Diddy" wants young people to vote in this year's election, and he is once again encouraging them to do just that.

In 2004 Diddy created Citizen Change, a nonpartisan organization to encourage young individual to vote in our country. Statistics have shown that the number of votes in youth increased in 2004 and 2006, and Diddy would like to believe his organization helped make that happen.

Yahoo Music News reports him as saying, "If we want to stop the war, if we want to get the economy better, I think that young people need to understand they have to take matters into their own hands."

In the same article, Diddy is quoted as saying this election is very exciting and that it will make history, with one African-American and one woman in the presidential race.
