Wilmer Valderrama Sounds Off On The Election, Says Latinos Need To 'Stop The Bullsh**'

Wednesday, July 18, 2012

The Latino community is really important to actor and activist Wilmer Valderrama. So much so, that in 2004, the "That '70s Show" star co-founded Voto Latino -- a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing new and diverse voices into the political process by engaging youth, media, technology and celebrities to promote positive change.

One of the priorities for Voto Latino has been to creatively and effectively use celebrity voices to register more than 120,000 young Latino voters, mobilizing them to speak out and take action on policies impacting their lives and the Latino community. Valderrama, who in addition to co-founding the organization is also producing and directing PSAs for Voto Latino and serving as the spokesperson for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, tells The Huffington Post that he will be lending his voice to the 2012 election.
