Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, and Taylor Swift Encourage Women To Vote
By: Margy Holland
Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, and Taylor Swift will grace the November cover of Redbook magazine and appear in Lifetime Television Public Service Announcements (PSAs) to encourage millions of women to vote. The cover feature and PSAs, called "Vote (For Your) Country" is part of Lifetime's and Redbook's nonpartisan, year-long Every Woman Counts campaign to get women involved in the political process.
The PSAs will air on Lifetime through the November 4th presidential election, while the special Redbook issue will be on newsstands beginning on Tuesday (October 14th).
Swift said, "The first thing I did this year on my 18th birthday was register to vote. I was still in my pajamas and I got on my computer and registered. It was so cool and empowering. I felt this sense of responsibility that I've never felt before -- I actually had a say in the political decisions of my country."
McEntire said, "There are people in foreign countries who stand in line all day just to be able to vote, and when people here take it for granted, I think it's a shame. If you have a gripe, you have the right to voice it and try to fix it by voting."
McBride added, "I sang the national anthem at the first Monday Night Football game after 9/11. I will never forget hearing 70,000 Americans who were as hurt, confused, and proud as I was sing the words. The compassion, faith, strength, and determination I saw in that time of fear and uncertainty changed the way I view this country forever."
Other artists featured in the PSAs and the Redbook photo spread include Rodney Atkins, Clint Black, Sarah Buxton, Jewel, Julianne Hough, Jack Ingram, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Rissi Palmer, Shedaisy, Sugarland, Wynonna, and Trisha Yearwood.
