For a little guy, Bow Wow is doing big things. He announced yesterday that he’ll
take part in a voter registration initiative that kicks off tomorrow in Atlanta
and travels to various cities around the nation.

His website says:

Walk Across America will take Bow Wow and other citizens who are excited about the
2008 elections to cities across the United States in an effort to encourage people,
especially the youth, to participate in the contests happening this November and
the political process overall.

Walk Across America will travel by foot and bus through several cities including
Philadelphia, PA, Washington, D.C. and New York City making stops at various locations
including colleges, universities and radio stations. Bow Wow is working with Declare
Yourself and Black Youth Vote, two non-partisan organizations that will be assisting
with the registration efforts at each stop and helping to reinforce the importance
of youth voter participation. Students and elected officials from both major parties
will also be invited to take part in the efforts in each city.

Although he is only 21, Bow Wow, who is launching his Follow The Leader foundation
this year, felt that it was important for him to become personally involved in this
historical election and to help motivate other young people to become engaged in
the process. “It’s important for the youth to participate because we’re tomorrow’s
leaders. We need to make sure that our voices are heard and have a say in the decisions
that will affect our lives and our country for years to come,” he says.
