High-Tech CEOs Urge Workers To Vote

High-tech CEOs have joined with executives from a number of industries to encourage their employees to take an hour on Nov. 4 to vote (see video montage above). CEOs involved include Cisco Systems' John Chambers, eBay's John Donahoe, Google's Eric Schmidt, Intel Corp.'s Paul Otellini, Sprint Nextel's Dan Hesse, Symantec's John Thompson, Time Warner's Jeffrey Bewkes and many more. During the 2004 election, 20 percent of eligible voters did not vote because they said they were "too busy" with work or school and never made it to the polls, according to "The Vote Hour."
