…….I am on my way home to vote. You’ve seen me wearing my Obama shirt so you know who I’m voting for! Who you chose is totally up to you……I just want to say I hope you go to the polls tomorrow and do your part in choosing who will be this countrys next leader. Wednesday night will be a very special night for me. We will be on stage in one of the cities where democracy began and hopefully celebrating President Obama’s move to the White House.

Jon
Thank you for taking part in democracy! I agree with you that everyone needs to get out and vote!
I wanted you send you a hello and a smile and to tell you I can not wait to see you in Rhode Island and again at Mohegan Sun! I have never been to Mohegan Sun so I am very excited to be able to see you and then check out the Casino! If I am lucky at all my Winnings at Mohegan would be to meet you and say Thank you for everything you do and say!
Take care and may you always be happen and satisfied!
Love, Hugs and Kisses

Hi Jonathon! It was great meeting you in Charlotte NC! I hope you’re feeling better! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule on tour to vote and encouraging us to do the same. I will also be voting Obama.

OBAMA all the way, baby! I am a dem born and bred! And, I think that McCain is a…oh, nevermind, I don’t wanna start fights. Really. However, Obama is already getting ME more work cause I own my own business and people are calling me to come take care of stuff cause they are working for the campaign! LOL! I am at the head of the Chester County Obama Campaign’s home right now! So, THANK YOU, Obama!
Jon, I gotta say, I’m a Donnie girl all the way, but your support of Obama makes my heart all warm and happy! MWAH! (((HUGS)))
Love & Blessings!

Interesting . . . I’ve actually been wondering if you guys were using absentee ballots, but it’s nice that you get to go home to vote. Getting out the vote is a great use of blogging space. Way to go!

Hi Jonathan!
I’m so glad you can take the time to vote. I will be at the polls in Chicago tomorrow bright and early…and no….I’m not telling who I’m voting for. LOL!
I really can’t wait to see how this will all shake out….it’s been an interesting election year that’s for sure.
I hope you enjoy the next couple of days off before your next show.

You are 1000% right - tomorrow no matter who gets elected we will be making history! We are either going to have our first African-American president or our first female Vice President…either way it is UP TO US WHAT HAPPENS!!
Be sure to get out and vote - no matter who it is for! Remember if you don’t vote you really have to right to complain when things go wrong!

Hey Jon,
Being Canadian, I can not cast a vote but I just wanted to pass along my hopes that Obama will win this election because it does affect the entire world!

Oh my gosh Jon after 21 months of watching All Things Politics, I am so excited about tomorrow. I unfortunately can not vote as I am Canadian but I will be watching CNN all night tomorrow waiting to hear Wolf Blitzer project Barack Obama as the next president of the USA.
I am so glad you guys did not plan a show on November 4th…..I think everyone in the world will be watching this historic moment in history. I am also glad to see you took the time to go home to vote….hope the other guys are voting as well……don’t vote, don’t bitch as I like to say
Can’t wait for Wednesday morning and President Elect Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 am
Missed the Obama rally in Cleveland last night, but being a liberal (and a social worker), Obama is getting my vote!! thanks for putting the word out and encouraging others to vote! it’s our duty as Americans
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 am
Jon,
I’m so glad we’re all grown up and can agree to disagree on certain things, such as politics. You broke my mother’s heart in DC with your Obama shirt.
I completely blew my meet & greet in ATL. I drove 9 hours by myself to see you and then I didn’t utter a word, but it was still perfect. Thanks for keeping in contact with us.
Andrea
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 am
Great way to get the message out!! Hope you’re enjoying your time at home, and don’t forget to get your free coffee at Starbucks after you vote!!! See you AC!
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:44 am
This is a very monumental election this year no matter who wins. It is very important that we all take time to get to the polls on Tuesday. I for one have been behind Obama from the beginning and would love to take a trip to downtown Chicago for the celebration, however a licensing class for work is early the next day so I’ll be watching, waiting, and hopefully celebrating from home.
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:44 am
Hey,Jon!! I will be voting (Obama in ‘08!!)…although he wasn’t my first choice for the democratic ticket, I am for CHANGE!!! We definitely need it!! So, get out and vote you Blockheads!!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:45 am
Jon,
I am so glad you took the time to vote!I wish people would understand how important it is and what a privelige it is to be able to decide who will be our next leader regardless of where you stand politically.
Thanks Again,Missy:)
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:47 am
Hey, Jon! I will be voting as well…for who not telling :)(don’t want to start a big discussion about it)

My husband and I cast our votes for Obama on Saturday. Thank you for doing your part, Jonathan, by casting another vote for the “good guys”! Thank you also for encouraging others to vote - it is so important!! Go OBAMA!!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:49 am
Hello Jon! I see you doing your citizen duty! Strangely enough; in France too, Obama is VERY popular, and I don’t remember having witnessed such an interrest into the American Elections ever! People talk about it a lot, but we are not american: we won’t vote!
Apart from that I desperately look for “the block” here in France but it seems it’s not available yet…
take care

Hi Jon! It’s so awesome that you are getting out the vote! I am voting very early tomorrow. I have not been this excited about an election since Clinton in 92 and 96. I feel hope! Go Obama!!!

Hi Jonathan!
I live in Washington state, and my county votes by mail, so I turned my ballot in about two weeks ago. Can’t say who I voted for because I work in journalism, but I’m glad to see you telling people to get out there to the polls. I was a political kid, and registering to vote was the milestone I looked forward to more than anything else. I love voting. Everyone else should get out there, too. Even if you think you don’t care about politics, it affects you in one way or another. Education, health care, the economy … we’re all affected by those things and should all take advantage of our right (responsibility) to vote.
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:54 am
No matter how you vote, I’m so excited that people are FIRED UP about this election! It’s great to see candidates (finally!) that people are truly excited about. Let’s get out there and show the world we LOVE our right to vote! Let’s get this country back to being what we’re truly capable of! Tomorrow is my anniversary, so what better way to celebrate a NEW BEGINNING!!! Anybody gonna brave the crowds in Grant Park, Chicago tomorrow for Obama’s (Victory!) Party? Let’s make some NOOOOOISE!!!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:54 am
Jonathan, I hope your wishes come true and the outcome of the election is what you hoped it would be. I’m Canadian so I’ll watch from the sidelines. Enjoy your couple of days off! Mwah!
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:55 am
Damn Jon Boy you get around and around!! Glad to hear you’re going home to do your civic duty!! Safe travels!
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:55 am
P.S. come back to Toronto really soon…we miss you… and the winter will be cold and lonely without you ;P

Hey Jonathan!

I’m a Canadian girl, but if there was ever a time I wish I could be “American for a day”, its tomorrow! I am SO excited for your election- I’ve been following it more than I did our own recent election (I did vote though- we didnt win
I cannot wait until Obama is President- this world will be a whole new place! Wish I could kick it with you in Philly to celebrate!
Barack to the Future, baby!!

I’m so glad that you will do your part Jon! Even though I live in Sweden, I’m following what’s going on in the elections. NKOTB isn’t the only thing I’m interesting in.

November 3rd, 2008 at 9:04 am
OBAMA Has My Vote!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:05 am
Hey Jonathan…
I have been a supporter of Obama for awhile.
I believe he is going to be a great leader!!
I am happy to hear that all of you are heading home to get that vote in.
Every “one” counts.
I just wish more people would get out there and let their voice (vote) be heard!!
Have fun at the concert!!
Best wishes.
Love, Dannell
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:06 am
Hi Jon,
Yes Obama!
What a concert in Fort Lauderdale, I loved it! My friend and I had a great time!!! Please come back soon!!!
Well, better get back to my real estate office and get some work done.
You have a blessed day!! Fab
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:06 am
I’m an Aussie, but right now I’m wishing I were American, just so I could do my part for the greater good.
Obama FTW!
*crosses all her fingers and toes and prays America gets it right this time*
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:07 am
I was quite upset - I missed the deadline to apply for an absentee ballot to vote. I’m a dual citizen, born in Ohio, raised in Ontario.. I’m not *sure* I ‘qualify’ to vote in the US elections anyway, but I had certainly wanted to try, this year of all years…
I did, however, vote in the Canadian elections for the first time this year. Being largely raised in a religion that didn’t … agree with voting, it took me some time out of it to sort of wrap my head around the whole thing, but I did and I voted here, at least!
I am also trying to do my part in spreading the word and encouraging all my American friends to get out and vote tomorrow! As a fellow Canadian above indicated, who is elected as the President of the United States affects all of us! I am rooting for Obama all the way and I hope that we can all celebrate his victory tomorrow, together!
Block party for Barack!

Great show in Ft. Lauderdale Saturday night - I haven’t had that much fun in years! It was great to see people campaigning for “Vote NO on 2!” outside the arena.
Obama ‘08! I cast my vote today
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:10 am
I’m a conservative myself but am happy you are doing your duty as an American and voting tomorrow.
We may not agree but that doesn’t change how important voting is. I will be praying for a good result.
Get some much needed rest and enjoy the break!

Get out there and be heard…it’s your right…

November 3rd, 2008 at 9:13 am
Thanks for the note Jon! I already mailed in my absentee ballot for Obama. Can you guys not get absentee ballots out there on the road? Or did you just want an excuse to go home
Love,

Hey Jon! Thanks for reminding everyone on here to get out and vote..I still can’t believe how many of us don’t vote!!!! I for one will be out early on Tuesday with my two kids to vote. I’ve brought them every time i’ve voted so they know how important it is… i’m a Obama supporter, I have been since he spoke at the Democratic Nat’l Convention in 2004. Hopefully we’ll be celebrating Thursday in Providence see you at the 5*!!! OBAMA ‘08!!!!!

November 3rd, 2008 at 9:15 am
Hey Jon….I couldn’t agree with you more!
Here’s HOPING the CHANGE we need we be in our hands!
Enjoy Philly…it would be great to see some NKTV posts of the celebration from the show!!

Love you all!
Everyone else- get out tomorrow and BARACK the VOTE!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:16 am
Jon, I’m so glad you’ve put out this plug for voting!!! It’s so very important, and it means so much to us as fans that you’re making such good use of your position in the public, and especially with us! I can’t tell you how happy it made me to see you in your Obama shirt at the DC concert, and I’ll be with you and the guys again on Wednesday in the city of brotherly love, celebrating all of you, of course, but also celebrating American democracy in action!!
Cheers a hundred times over!
I can’t wait to see all of you again!!!!

I am with you 100% Jon! It doesn’t matter who you vote for so long as you vote. This is proabably the most historical election in history for obvious reasons and we need everyone’s support. Vote Obama, Vote McCain, Vote Independent or green.. Just vote! Personally Im voting Obama! Lets Rock The Vote!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:21 am
Way to go Jon! I took my 91 year old grandmother, and she and I voted last week! She was determined to go even though she had to go in a wheelchair. She didn’t want to send in her vote, she wanted to physically go and vote. We got it done. And yes, we voted for Obama too!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:22 am
Hey Jon! While you’re in MA stop by Barnes & Noble in Braintree!! I’d love to see you!! xoxo
PS- Go Obama!

Love to you and the rest of the guys!

Hi Jon,
unfortunately us Germans won’t be able to vote, but I read in the newspaper today that, IF they could, 75 percent would vote for OBAMA!!
We have many Americans living here in Berlin and we’ll have parties all over the city , celebrating hopefully HIS victory!

OBAMA ‘08!!!!!!
Hope to see you guys again on a summer tour!!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:31 am
I was in such a hurry to support Obama, I voted Oct. 22!
It was a thrill for me as a 100% Democrat to vote not just for my party, but for a candidate who will bring us that much closer to making Dr. King’s dream come true. Thank you, thank you for speaking out on a really important issue, Jon! From the bottom of my heart, Brigitta
OBAMA / BIDEN ‘08
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:32 am
I also hope that Mr. Obama will be the next American President!!!
This wouldn`t only change America but also the World`s policy.
Hope you all make the right choice!!!

Hey Jon!
I’m Canadian so can’t vote but like Jon, I am encouraging our neighbours to the south to vote. We all know that this election not only affects Americans but the whole world. And if I could I’d vote for Obama lol!
Take care

November 3rd, 2008 at 9:37 am
So Jonathan, as I understand you, you would be willing to share your wealth however the government choses fit. In Cuba they came to your door with people and asked, “How many bedrooms do you have?” and if you are one person in a three bedroom home you were forced to let people of their choice Move in with you. When will people wake up. When you go to the bank to close your savings account ? What would you do if the government seized everything you owned and told you to move in with your neighbor? In Russia you can own property with a lake on it, go to the store and buy fishing rods, but you are not allowed to fish, on your own property ! Sorry Jon, I can’t believe you can’t see.
Martin Luther King was a Republican. It’s like a spider web.. Love you. Hey who does the cooking you or your Mom?
Are you willing to turn your entire pay check over to the government? After all they know how to spend it better than we do right? Again sorry we disagree. Who is your Mom voting for? Spend some time with some refugees.
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:38 am
jon thank you for taking time out to post to all of us!!!!!thank you for encouraging us to vote! I hope you know you guys are not normal………theres no other group…band..singers…ect…that could do what you guys could do to us fans..!!!!!!!!!love you jon…..ps you rock here in fl….then again you rock everywhere!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:38 am
Canadians can’t even vote. It’s to late for them.. NKOTB rock !
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:39 am
OBAMA 08 BABY!!!! I will be right here watching and i am voting in the mornin as well. I love you man!! KISSES from texas
Tanya
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 am
As an emigrant living in the US and married to a US citizen I can see both sides. Outside the US people want to still believe in the US as their hero and friend I think with Obama the US is going to achieve this!
I’m crossing my fingers!!! Peace for all!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 am
I hear you Jon. I am looking forward to placing my vote for Obama
tomorrow too! Like you said, this is so important. No matter who
you are voting for, get out there and have your say!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 am
Hi handsome! Yup I voted for Obama too!! Have a relaxing couple of days off!! MUAHH!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:43 am
Jon, that is so awesome that you get to be in such a historic place at such a historic time. I voted last week, and it was an emotional thing for me, I feel like there is so much riding on this vote, always, but especially this time around and I hope we can turn Florida Blue this year! I’m scared about what’s going to happen tomorrow but I’m trying to keep the faith that it will turn out the way it should. We were rocking some “NKOTB Fans for Obama” tees on Saturday at your show, another fan designed them and put them on Cafe Press. Amazing.
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:43 am
Hey Jon
Thanks for spreading the word about voting. No matter who you vote for, you need to get out there and do it.
XOXO

JONATHAN - Just want to say a quick THANK YOU to you for blogging so much lately. Since we don’t hear as much from you on stage and during group interviews, it is really wonderful to get to hear from you so often on your blogs. Keep’em coming, sweetie! We can’t get enough of you!
LOVE ALWAYS,

November 3rd, 2008 at 9:47 am
Thanks Jon for the reminder!!! If your that lazy not to get out and speak up for what you want then “SHUT UP”!! People act like it’s a job to vote, “ITS A PRIVLEDGE” so as much time as it takes them people that dont vote to complain they could’ve voted already!! Thats alright though I know I’m doing what I am supposed to I cant worry bout everybody else and I get tired of hearing it! Either way history is going to be made and I am glad I will be apart of that with my kids also! Before I go here is a little story of just how important this is, my 5yr old son Malaki came to me sat. and said “Mommy who you voting for” (remember he is only 5YEARS Old) and I told him what I thought and then I asked him if you could vote who would you vote for he said in his own little words “I like ROCK O’BOM’O” he didnt say his name right thats why I didnt spell it right he said “ROCK O’bom’O”!!! After I laughed to myself for a minute I asked him if he knew the other guys name that was (in 5 yr old words) going up against him and he said exactly right “John McCain”, I said you are one smart little dude!! It made me feel good that he’s so young and already knows about voting and how important it is,they had a little sample at school on how to vote and thats who he voted for!! He watched T.V.for days about both canidates and he made his choice even though he didnt really know why (maybe he did he already surprised me so who knows),but if he can do it then everyone else can do it also!! This is so important PLEASE GO VOTE!!!!!Speak for the little ones like my son thats not old enough to vote yet, think of them as well as yourselves!!!!
Thanks Jon XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
P.S. Tell the guys HELLO and Stay safe see you in St.Louis 3rd row and SINGLE!!!!!!!!

Jonathan,
Wow, another blog! YEAH!
Yep, I sent in my absentee ballot weeks ago & I think we’re both in agreement on who the best candidate is for the presidency!
By the way, I love your Obama t-shirt & actually saw someone wearing one similar to yours!
Keep those blogs/Q&A’s coming because we LOVE hearing from you! Take care and have a great week!

Hi Jon!
Thanks for the post & encouraging everyone to get out and vote (for Obama). So many of us (you and I included) hope for change in a positive direction and I know I am praying that others out there can be open-minded enough to take that risk with us. I have an MBA and firmly believe that Obama is the best choice for the nation, regardless of what kind of propaganda is put out there about him. Also, just to put it out there for CA voters - vote NO on Prop 8! End discrimination and confirm that all men and women really are equal and have equal rights under the law!
Jon, thanks so much for putting your voice out there, especially by posting and letting us all get to know you as a person even more. You are amazing - saw you in Vegas (I was the one with the giant JONATHAN sign & you waived to me from the B stage!) I will be in LA as well, 13th row center, and I can’t wait…I just hope one day to be able to meet you in person after all these years, give you a hug and thank you for just being you and taking the risk to come back…I guess after 20 years, I can wait for the next go-round
Travel safe!
Yours,
Cindy
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:53 am
It’s so good to hear that despite what I imagine is a crazy schedule, you’re getting home to vote.
I’ll be seeing you Saturday in CT - hopefully, we can be celebrating an Obama win!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:54 am
Hwy thier is no blog ov video or anything from the charlotte concert. We southern girls our hurt!!!!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:54 am
Well said Jon! I hope to be celebrating that move with you on Wednesday night!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:55 am
As of this moment right now, I really don’t know who I’m voting for. I’m seriously leaning towards writing in Mickey Mouse.
With that said, atleast you know who to vote for. I will be voting.. but yeah. anyhow.
See you guys Saturday in CT!
Yes. This crazy weird girl, is traveling from Indiana to CT just to see you guys one more time. Insane? yes. Thank you. LOL

This morning, I was in class at university and one of my teacher asked us if anyone would vote for Mc Cain if we were American. I looked around me and saw that nobody put its hand up. I just smiled, thinking “yeah, maybe they (I mean American people) will do what we didn’t last year. Maybe they will elect someone who can represent all the citizens of its country, someone who can change many things.” We need that!
Hugs and Love,

November 3rd, 2008 at 9:57 am
Thanks Jon!!!
Rock the Vote!
Or should I say, Barack the vote! Hehe!
Love you always

November 3rd, 2008 at 9:59 am
You’re so right, Jon. I already voted, and let’s just say wise minds think alike.
P.S. I think I fell in love with you a little bit more when I saw you with your shirt in Houston.
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:01 am
Hi Jon,
the whole world is looking to the US tomorrow. If I could vote I would….and there would only be ONE choice: OBAMA!!! Just imagine the “old guy” would and die the presidency would fall in the “capable” hand of Sarah Palin….OMG!!! I’ll be glued to the telly tomorrow and hope OBAMA WINS!!! Obama puts big hopes in all of us, even here in Germany.
I see you in Düsseldorf on the 5. Feb. CAN’T WAIT!!!

November 3rd, 2008 at 10:02 am
I’ll be in Philly on Wednesday with you, and I hope it’s a celebration. I stood in line for 4 hours to vote for Obama absentee in person - it’s the first time I actually felt good about myself when I pushed that button.
Thank you for being an advocate for all of us to get out there and take an active role in our democracy, no matter who we choose. OBAMA ‘08
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:05 am
I’ll be heading out tomorrow to vote as well. But not for the same canidate. I have to do where my heart leads me. Some issues are cut and dry for me, some issues are for the saftey of my miliary lifestyle, friends and family. God bless America
What will be, will be:)
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:06 am
HiuHI Hi. I saw you guys last night in TAMPA! I’m on 4 hours of sleep but very happy! your show was amazing…i keep telling everyone about it. I’m a McCain supporter though, but you’re right…just VOTE irregardless of your candidate of choice!
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:07 am
Form the people, to the people… and for the people… Lincon’s words are part of my heart…
Well done Jon… You all american guys must be responsable and vote… (As we in Chile are forced to vote every time…)
I truly hope Mr. Obama will move to White House..
Hugs for you Jon… we love you!
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:08 am
Glad to hear that you’re voting! well actually I think we all knew that since you had your Obama shirt. I’ll be taking off early from work to vote (aww darn…
)
I will be voting for Senator Obama as well…we really need to get our country back into shape! maybe you can run for President?!
Take care,
Eileen

no, no…i wanna see donnie’s shirt say “The true meaning of war IS peace”
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:12 am
I will be voting in the morning… My hubby voted early since he was deploying before election day!! Definitely one of the most important elections in years!! And I agree that hopefully we will be celebrating Obama’s victory it’s time for some change in this country!
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:12 am
I agree we all need to get out and vote. You can’t complain if your candidate of choice doesn’t win…if you don’t vote! I am voting for John McCain. I am not an Obama supporter, but I can agree to disagree with you regarding this issue. That’s the beauty of democracy! May the best man win….whoever that may be.
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:17 am
good luck with the voting
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:18 am
Good Morning Jonathan, I am also voting for Senator Obama because it’s time for a change in this country. I will also see you in concert on Thursday in Providence I cannot wait. Dina.

And then we can “celebrate” on Friday at AC!
I’m so glad you are encouraging people to vote; this is probably one of the most important elections in history. That’s why I’m so excited to be in DC at this historic time: regardless of who wins, it will be a “first” for USA. Kimber Ann (the Jon Sign Girl)

HUGS&MUCH LOVE
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:39 am
Up until recently I was undecided. After much research and thought I have decided that my vote will go to Obama. This is a big deal considering I live in the south and my family is extremely conservative. I am the outcast of the family. LOL
I want to reiterate what Jonathan said, No matter who you vote for excercie your right and vote. Thank goodness for Democracy.
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:42 am
I have never been this involved in an election before. So many important issues!
Stop the drama - VOTE OBAMA!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:44 am
Hi Jon, I was at the Tampa,FL concert last night and just want to say that you guys are wonderful…I thank God that you guys have given us this reunion tour and brought joy back into our lives…that same exciting feeling we felt so many years ago. My 1st NKOTB concert was when I was 12 in NYC at Madison Square Garden and last night was my 2nd..I drove down from Deltona,FL. I’m amazed that you’re all in good shape and look as young as you did back then..God Bless you guys!…I love u all so much!! I voted early (last Saturday) and even though the line was long (two hour wait)it was worth it. You feel a sense of relief afterwards…go out and vote everyone!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:45 am
This was my first time voting. I was luck enough that my state (FL) had early voting. I too am hoping that Wednesday will be a celebration for Senator Obama abd Biden. Great to see you in that shirt.
Tampa-What an amazing show. I went with my NK Best Friend from back in the day and my sister you has you as her favorite. Thank you guys so much for coming back. For those hours you performed, I had no thoughts of work, mortgage, bills nothing. I WAS FREE. I got only 4 hours of sleep by the time we got back to Orlando but you all were well worth it. I hope you guys do anohter tour when you get back from Europe. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:45 am
AGREED!
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:47 am
Jon,
I think its so awesome that you are telling people to get out and VOTE! Its so important. I too am voting for Obama tomorrow in the lovely state of Rhode Island! I can’t wait to meet you on Thursday at the Dunkin Donuts Center!!! I’m ready for some “face time” with the entire group! Have a fantastic couple of days off!

Glad to hear you have done your part and voted for our next president. I am for McCain/Palin this election and hope they win. No matter who wins this very important election may God Bless our Country and I just pray this country can get back on the right track.
Tuesday night is going to be a big night for this country and the rest of the world is watching.
God Bless and see you in St. Louis on Nov 10th… Less then 7 days away. OMG I so can not wait.

You are an amazing person and I too voted and did my part. I voted for Obama, most of the people in my hometown of El Paso, Tx. have voted Obama. Much love to you! God bless you always, and remember, no matter what happens, keep smiling!!
Yours,
Miss Betty
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:56 am
I have already voted!!
(I sent in my absentee ballot on Thursday)
I would have rather that I had been voting for Hilary Clinton but I filled in the circle for Obama :).
Along with the presidential election, we in Cali have this ridiculous and scary Prop 8 so hopefully, along with Obama winning, we (California) will squash this RIDICULOUS proposition!
Have a good couple days off!
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:59 am
Definitely going out to vote tomorrow!
You’re the best - love your posts - see you in CT (again) We need to see more of that butt shakin on the stage! Love you guys forever –G
I just wanted to let you know you were always my favorite!!! My parents bought me a Joey doll when I was little, and I buried it behind my garage haha - love u Joe
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:01 am
You betcha I’m going to vote! Thank you for sharing your spirit for this important time for the Nation. I too will be voting for Obama!
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:02 am
come one come all Philly is the place to be. It been one giant PARTY since the won …so why not have nkotb come and party as well….cause you know one thing 4 sure Philly paryt so well….–just be carefull about wearing other shirts and stshirts or hats because Philly sports fans can be agressive,(just watch out()) but Nkotb fans will still have your back but it those . Yes that right we all need to vote dont matter who u vote 4 just vote because if you dont then your view wont count 4 anything.
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:03 am

JonJon,
Thank you for sharing with us your political views. It helps us to get to know each of u a bit better. I too will be voting for Obama… He is what this country needs. “Vote for Change”
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:07 am
Hello Jooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn,
I am hoping that your voting will inspire many to vote who might have other wise stayed at home or thought it is a bit long to try and have a say.
I try to vote where I try to remember that somewhere in history someone went to great lengths to enable me to have a say in this way. But politics does my head in a lot as it is such a matter of experience, opinion and major agreement. So sometimes where I am confused I at least try to make a vote if it means reminding those that firmly stand against my existence or the existence of my having rights or beliefs that I am aware they do not care.
It’s so great that you are voting, and I think the tour and your communications shows live the grown man activities that you guys do too!
Thanks for sharing and happy voting. I hope it’s an outcome that is positive for all…

November 3rd, 2008 at 11:10 am
Jon!!
You are very wise!
I voted early by absentee ballot.
And of course I voted OBAMA/BIDEN!
I’ve also registered many voters over the past months.
I’ve also rocked the Obama bumper sticker & button.
I’m nervous & excited for tomorrow- the big day!
This is going to be monumental.
I hope we are victorious!

Hey Jon,
Haha, us fans are very used to voting - though usually for NKOTB on some music poll! I am sure we would love to vote for Donnie as president and you guys as the cabinet members if we could…
The elections are getting loads of press here in UK - look forward to hearing the outcome.
Look forward to hearing from you again soon. x
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:34 am
Hi, Jon

Jon,
Thanks for spreading the word about getting out there to vote. I think this is a year of many miracles (big and small). My husband will be voting tonight, and I will drop them off tomorrow. This is amazing because he doesn’t normally vote. He wants to have he say in next president. I am with you about haing a change in leadership by Wednesday. Keep your fingers crossed, and see you in 19 days.
Love ya,

November 3rd, 2008 at 11:39 am

November 3rd, 2008 at 11:40 am
Hey Jonathan,
Just wanted to drop a note from MN and let you all know I’m planning to vote. I just hope the best person for the job wins! Donnie, sorry I’m not voting 4 you. We’ve waited for so long to get you all back and everything that I just couldn’t imagine it all going away again so soon. And imagine the security! You think it’s bad now, no more FaceTime, no more hugs and kisses. Even tho I didn’t get mine this time round I just couldn’t bring myself to support it stopping! Sorry if that’s selfish! WE LOVE ALL OF YOU and want you around for as long as possible! Hope you are all well! Hear from you again soon!
Take care ’til next time!

It’s so awesome that you are out there spreading the word to vote in these very important elections! It is our duty as Americans to use this right and be a important part of choosing our countries next leader!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:45 am
It seems we disagree on who we are voting for… I still LOVE new kids on the block no matter what!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:47 am
Hi Mr. GQ,
i`m a german woman and i hope Obama wins.
I`m proud of your voice and keep one`s fingers crossed.
about your answer Part 1
I cried i read your words about nico. It was very heartbreaking.
See you in Germany (Duesseldorf) next year!
Take care
Love Yvonne
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:48 am
Dear Jon,
I live in The Netherlands and cannot vote for your president im sad to say . But if I could it would be Obama too. We need a change in the world and i think that this election is very important for the whole world and not only the USA. Very good of you to encourage people to vote. I do the same here whenever there are elections because I think you cant say anything about the people who are running your country unless you had a part in making the decision who will run it for us.
Take care
Mascha

A man after my pown heart!
I think it’s awesome that you guys are promoting the vote! Obama 2008!
The Charlotte, NC show was the most amazing concert I’ve ever been to. My parents wouldn’t allow me to go to any of the concerts when I was younger (I was like 5 at the time), but it was well-worth the wait! I can’t wait til you guys come back to NC…I will definitely be there!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:55 am
I’m in the minority here (being a Conservative), but I am going to the polls tomorrow, for sure!
I believe it is not a matter of choice when it comes to voting: I believe it is our duty!
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:59 am
Woohoo Obama all the way baby!
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Voting is pointless. If no one at all voted, there would still be a new president, right?
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Jon!
As usual, thanks for checking in…
I will be stopping at the polls on my way to work tomorrow… Go Obama!
Let’s hope we can all celebrate the win!
Lisa
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:04 pm
I am so glad to hear that you are voting for Obama. He is the one who can lead our country back where it needs to be. I saw your show in Detroit and I was the first one to meet you at the m&g before the show. I just wanted to thank you for being so sincere and easy to talk too. It was a dream come true meeting you. I am counting down the days until the summer, when Robo promised us you would come back. I never anticipated feeling like a giddy school girl after meeting you but I can’t help myself.

November 3rd, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Hi Jon! I’ll be voting tomorrow morning. I agree with you–Obama all the way! By the way, on Wednesday before the Fort Lauderdale show, Obama held his rally at the Bank Atlantic Center
Have fun in Philly, wish I was there! Kelly
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Hey Jon,
Love how you are keeping in touch with us. I agree with you whole heartedly. If you do not vote, you can not complain. I am casting my vote tomorrow.
I hope that we are all able to celebrate an Obama win!

JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
True Democracy is the right to VOTE!!!!
Fidel Castro, got Cubans a whole lot of
lot of change, it has lasted for almost 50 years…
Venezuela got their change throught Hugo Chavez, and

Obama, is not a true Democrat! Do your homework and
choose wisely, as you might regret the change you get &
eventually lose true democracy- Your right to vote!

Jon great to hear from you. It meant
a lot to finally meet you and the other
guys in Florida. As a permanent resident
I am not allowed to vote yet… With
the next presidential elections I will
be if all goes well (can’t wait).
Enjoy your stay at home and have fun
Wednesday night.

Jon,
I agree with you Jon, I hope we as American people make the right decision in voting for this great country we live in. GOD BLESS AMERICA and may this election and the new years to come be the beginning of great change.
Love, peace, and blessings

Jon, thank you for encouraging people to get out and vote. I agree with Mascha’s comment–this election is so important not just for those of us living in the US, but for the entire world. We’ve essentially had a dictatorship for the last 8 years, with a leader who does not represent most of us and clearly does not care what we think. I applaud you Jon, for standing up for change. What about the other J’s and D’s? Are you making sure they vote too??
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:17 pm
YES YES YES! Get out there and V.O.T.E!!
I can’t wait to vote tomorrow!
But please, don’t vote if you’re not well informed on both sides of every issue!! Uninformed voters are BAD voters!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:18 pm
I can honestly say that I was glad NOT to see your Obama shirt in Charlotte - it would have ruined all my pics of my favorite “Kid!”
After serving 7 years in the Marine Corps, I just don’t believe that someone who has never served our country as a member of its military forces should be allowed to take charge as Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces… among other issues.
Thanks for supporting the vote, and I wish I could be in Philly to celebrate either way, ’cause you guys totally rocked NC!
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:22 pm
hi Jon,
I hope Obama gets in,here in Montreal my family as always been liberal(our version of your demoncrats) and we have French in us and many other nationalities,but ofcourse we voted and our man didn’t get in,it was a conservative(our version of your republican)that got in,i hope for you he does get in,
Wishing everyone lots of luck for election night,
Your Montreal Fans,
Karen and Brenda
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:22 pm
HI JON,
COOL YOU GONNA VOTE.
EVERYBODY SHOULD DO SO.
OBAMA IS A QUITE INTERESTING CANDIDATE. I WOULD PROBABLE VOTE HIM TOO.
SO LET`S SEE IF HE´LL MOVE INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.
CAN´T WAIT TO SEE Y´ALL ON TOUR IN JAN/FEB
FOR FACETIME / HUGZ / KISSES (:-)

Jonathan,
so…will you lick the liberty bell?(”How I Met Your Mother”, season 1 episode 3)
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:34 pm
JON,
Is there anything that I can do? I have emailed our local radio stations, I have called our radio station and suggested they put together a bus trip to a show. Is there a petion that I can sign? A contest that I can win?
I do realize that you will prob never read this, but oh well… First off, I have SO MUCH enjoyed your Q&A and your blogs. Let me tell you, if I had access to that back in high school, I would have been ecstatic. They are a long way from just reading articles in “Big Bop” magazine!
Second, I am really so glad for you that you “appear” to be doing better with your attacks this time around. I hope for you that you are enjoying the ride! (so to speak)
Thanks also for using this public forum to get everyone out to vote. Although, we may not be on QUITE the same page politically speaking.
In high school I was able to attend 2 of ya’lls concerts. I SO want to go to one this time, but You aren’t coming to Cincinnati!
Well, now that I have taken up half the message board…I guess I will close by saying that no matter how cliche’ this may sound: You REALLY always have been my favorite. oh and btw…as sexy as you look in those sunglasses, PLEASE don’t hide those beautiful eyes! Love Ya, Cassie
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Jonathan - I am still on a high from Thursday night in Charlotte, NC! You men were AMAZING! What I always imagined it would have been like! Thanks for encouraging everyone to VOTE. Unlike Joey, I like my Presidents Old and my Vice Presidents young, but I will support whomever - as I am proud to be an American! Thanks again for all the love you showed in Charlotte. I waited around FOREVER hoping to see you all up close, but I missed you all! I hope the tour is continuing as strong as it was in Charlotte! Please come back - keep The BLOCK alive! I do have to say - “I love me some Grown Man”!!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Hi jon…
Good choice….! If I could wote, I would wote for him aswell! He´ll wind, he better!
Hope to see you in Denmark any time soon!

November 3rd, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Awesome Jon! I will be getting myself up at 5:30 am to vote before I head off to work!! I’m so grateful that you all are doing your best to get out the vote, regardless of who people choose! I, of course, agree with your selection! Obabma s the person we need to change the future of the country for the better! We love you all! Thanks for always being so nice and gracious to all of us!!! To me, it’s NKOTB first, then Obama! LOL!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Jon, I am glad to hear you get to go home and vote.
That is the first thing I am doing tomorrow. I had the
best time at the show in Charlotte, NC. You guys made
my day. NKOTB was my very first concert. I still love
you just as much. Enjoy your time home. Love, Conna

Hi Jon,
I’m ready to vote for tomorrow before I go back to school (college) in Detroit. Go Obama/Biden ‘08 all the way!!!

November 3rd, 2008 at 12:56 pm
I did my duty the first day the polls opened early! I voted blue and my husband voted red. Needless to say we don’t talk about two things in our house…..1)politics and 2)NKOTB. Too many arguments and too much jealousy! Although he was a lucky man after the Atlanta concert. Good luck with the lines tomorrow and I hope to be celebrating with an Obama win come Wednesday morning.
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Hey Jonathan!
Very humbling what is said by fans from other countries saying that this election affects the whole world. Great to hear different points of view.
I haven’t decided yet. Don’t know who to trust. Been waiting for a deciding factor, but haven’t found one yet. Been wondering what yours is.? I want to be totally behind one candidate before I vote.
No matter who wins though, I think there will be much negative chaos on Wednesday.
Have you always been this into politics, or as with so many, is it the want of a change?
Hope to see you all in St. Louis!

LONG LIVE THE BLOCK!!!
DONNIE FOR PRESIDENT!;)
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Hey Jon. I have to say…every time you post a blog, the cuter you get. I love hearing from you and keep up the great work with those amazing shows you guys keep putting on. I hope I get to see you all again soon, and I too hope to celebrate Obama’s new home in Washington!
Love ya!
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Jonathan was at the Ft Lauderdale concert on Saturday, it was wonderful to see you guys back together. I already voted despite the long lines. Our country is worth the wait. Happy Voting.
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:06 pm
While I may not be voting for the same person as you, I always appreciate those spreading the word on how important it is to vote.

Well we dont have polls here in Oregon, but my ballot has been mailed in, and will hopefully be celebrating victory with you. Love you guys, Cant wait until Tacoma.
Love Always,

November 3rd, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Wednesday night WILL be a very special night. I, along with so many others, will be celebrating Obama’s move into the White House! See you guys in St. Louis in a week!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Hey Jon…Casted my vote 3 weeks ago through the mail. Hopefully obama will win and that by his winning he would be able to help the country get back their reputation with all the other countries. Disney’s Aladdin the musical is all in for Obama that they actually have a song and dance for him when they were voting for the candidate for the democrats. If they do the song and dance again I’ll make sure to tape it and show it to you once I do finally meet you. Take care of yourself and do feel better. Get some rest and can’t wait for the answers to your Qand A. Hopefully, it will happen soon. gale
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Neither candidates impress me. It’s like picking the lesser of two evils. I hate that. But I’ll be out there voting tomorrow, especially since there are some super important questions on the Massachusetts ballot that demand my attention and vote!
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Hey Jon–good for you going home to vote. I will be voting myself tomorrow for Obama.
I just wanted to tell you how much my friends and I just loved your show in Ft. Lauderdale the other night. We had 15 of us go to your show. We all were in love with you boys, well I guess now men, all over again. You all 5 did an amazing job and we can’t wait to see you again. You especially have always had a special place in my heart, well since I was 10 or so. Thank you again, and I hope you come back to S. Florida again very soon.
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:33 pm
WELL DONNIE TOLD ME HE IS VOTING FOR MCCAIN! AND HE TOOK MY MCCAIN PIN LAST NIGHT SO DONNIE, I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YA. MCCAIN SUPPORTERS NEED TO BE HEARD. I’LL PRAY FOR VICTORY TOMORROW THOUGH IT SEEMS LIKE A LONG SHOT AT THIS POINT..BETTER GET OUT THERE AND VOTE DONNIE….but Jon you are a sweetheart, and I love you man, so nothing against you..but I am shocked and proud that Donnie is a McCain supporter..didn’t know there were any from MA…
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Us Canadians had our election last month and yes, it is very important to vote! Get out there and Vote USA!!! Whoohoo! I’m Jen B and I approve this message…
whoops…I think I’ve been watching too much American Political Campaigns! LOL.
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Hi, this will be a very interesting election, at “Reader’s Digest” I read few days ago, that almost every country in the world would vote for Obama, but at the USA it’s not sure yet who will win. I would definitely vote for Obama. But I heard today, he would deport his aunt from the USA because she lives there illegal- I hope for his aunt this was just a joke… :-)- time for a change!
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Hey Jon.
Although Im under age and I don’t live in your country, Im still rootin for Obama. The Election is pretty much all over the news here and we’ll get live coverage of it tomorrow (wednesday) so I can’t wait to see who will win the election.

Jon,
Thanks for encouraging people to vote. I LOVED the fact you wore an Obama shirt at the San Antonio concert. I was wearing my Women for Obama pin that night, I wish I would have remembered to point it out to you during the M+G but I was so befuddled by meeting you guys that I forgot! We have the only Obama sign in our entire neighborhood. I feel very blue in this red state. I early voted last week and took my seven year old daughter with me. It was a nice experience for both of us.
Anyway, hugs and kisses to you. I hope we are celebrating an Obama victory wednesday morning.
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:51 pm
I will definitely be voting tomorrow. For McCain/Palin……..sorry Jon
lol
November 3rd, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Hi Jon,
this is a very exciting time. I can’t wait for Wednesday morning to find out who won the election (there are at least 6 hrs time difference ;)) And the coverage is better than for german elections. And thats saying alot!! I know who I would vote for if I could: OBAMA all the way.
Can’t wait to see you all in Düsseldorf on the 5. Feb. Enjoy the ride.

Hi Jon-

(I missed one though, since i was in japan). Anyway, I made sure to register myself and my husband and will be voting before work. GO OBAMA!!! he went to my highschool (go punahou!) and he went to my elementary school (go NOELANI!). Everybody do your part and vote!

Hi Jon! I’m absolutely voting tomorrow. I can’t wait to proudly vote a democrat into the White House! Have fun out there!
Much love to all!

November 3rd, 2008 at 2:13 pm
I am so glad to hear you promoting our duty as Americans! I always vote and I will be in line tomorrow. Thank you for being a proud American.

November 3rd, 2008 at 2:15 pm
It looks like there are quite a few new kids fans who love Obama. I’m not one of them….but I like what Joe said in Charlotte…”just go vote. we’ll all still get along. we’ll all still love each other!” Obama did not get my vote…but I do believe that his win will more than likely be celebrated on tuesday night.
No matter who the president is…you guys better be back next summer!!!
Love you all!!!!!!!!!!

Jonathan - I am the mother of a 26 yr old whom approx. 18 yrs ago I took to her 1st concert - of course it was NKOTB. She was 8 and so excited, I can still see that little girl. Last night i returned with her to the Tampa Forum to see her again expressing the same excitment, this time as the beautiful young woman (soon to be bride) she has become. I surprised her with tickets so that she and I could spend time together in this busy world in which we live. She called me mommy and held my hand (imagine her surprise when all of you showed up so close to us during the piano sequence, what perfect memories) the night filled my heart. I want to Thank all of you for that. I am not comfortable around large groups of people but watching you last night I felt I needed to commend you and your extraordinary courage and quest to make the world we live in a better, gentler place for all of us and warrants you another Thank you .. just wanted to let you know that there are some of us that have noticed your kindness.
November 3rd, 2008 at 2:20 pm
I believe everyone needs to take part in voting. My belief is that if you don’t vote you can’t complain:). The best gift my Mom gave me on my 18th birthday was a voters registration form. Glad you guys get to vote in person.
