With Texas in the national political spotlight, even SuperFrog is working to get out the vote.

SuperFrog was on hand at a voting rally Feb. 28 along with a slew of free T-shirts and hot dogs all designed to get TCU students politically engaged.

The rally was sponsored by the Programming Council to support this semester’s theme of “Rights. Responsibility. Respect.” and featured Project Vote Smart, a non-profit, non-partisan research organization that collects and distributes information about candidates for public office.

Students chowed down on the free hot dogs, but they could only score a “Vote Purple, Vote Smart” T-shirt if they correctly answered questions such as naming their congressional district and the current office holder.

Even students who couldn’t make the grade managed to get extra credit by hopping aboard the Project Vote Smart bus where they could go on the organization’s Web site and research candidates and their voting records to make informed voting decisions.

“It was pretty cool,” said speech pathology junior Shauna Montgomery. “There’s a lot of information.”
