“90 Days, 90 Reasons” Kicks Off with Ben Gibbard and Roger Ebert
Dave Eggers and Jordan Kurland Want to Remind You to Vote for the President
Aug 09, 2012
Ben Gibbard
With three months to Election Day, fellow Chicagoans Dave Eggers (author, founder of McSweeney’s and 826 National) and Jordan Kurland (founder of Zeitgeist Artist Management) are here to remind voters of President Barack Obama’s first term accomplishments with “90 Days, 90 Reasons.”
In an effort to rally fresh enthusiasm among the voting crowd, Eggers and Kurland have tapped a “wide range of cultural figures” to give their reasons for supporting the incumbent—no easy task with an increasingly apathetic voting demographic. Every day, “90 Days, 90 Reasons” will offer another reminder, both in short form (Twitter) and in a longer essay (90days90reasons.com).
Kicking off the independent initiative (read: unaffiliated with the official campaign) is Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard on Obama’s acknowledgement of the right of gay couples to marry. Writes Gibbard, “I am voting for Barack Obama this fall because I want a president who recognizes that gay or straight, the rights of married couples should be equal.”
Today, reason number two comes from American film critic Roger Ebert.

One acknowledges that humen’s life seems to be expensive, but some people need money for various issues and not every one earns enough cash. Thus to receive fast business loans or just college loan would be a proper solution.

This is understandable that money can make people autonomous. But what to do when one has no money? The one way only is to receive the business loans or student loan.

Every one acknowledges that life seems to be very expensive, but people need cash for various issues and not every man gets enough cash. So to get quick loans or short term loan will be a right way out.

Until that time I never allowed another person to finish my evaluation essays for me as I was bothered about the marks.
