No matter your personal politics, this is going to be the most important election of your lifetime. Political HIVING, as it turns out, is something you can do to be more involved and have fun - around the debates, the get-out-the-vote efforts, and even in more formal “conversations” you might create around politics:

1) Throw a debate-watching party with friends, and print up BINGO cards with your favorite McCain phrases (”My friends”) or debate tactics (Obama shaking his head)  — and tack on a drinking game to make it more fun!

2) Get a group together and go canvass for your favorite candidate in a nearby swing state, like Nevada.

3) Or throw together a round table to talk about the issues most important to you.

All these politically-oriented things are HIVING, too — they are inventive get-togethers that help you connect with others AND give back. Get it?

But, most of all, don’t forget to register to vote! The California deadline is October 20!
