Members of "The Glee-Project" chose one word to represent a struggle they have had, or still do have, to deal with in today's society. They wore that word on a painted sign in the middle of Hollywood's Universal CityWalk, while performing their version of "Mad World" - originally by the rock group Tears For Fears.
The cast does a great job of relaying their insecurities to the audience, and it is a great rendition of a musical classic. There is an underlying political message to be seen in this.

What do you think? Can you identify with any one of these real-life characters? What does this say for how our generation puts pressure on others for "fitting in".
Doing our research on candidates' platforms, views, and social beliefs can really change how our society thinks overall. Let's make sure that in these local and state elections in 2011 - we are putting the right people in the right spots. With the 2012 Presidential Election right around the corner - it's time to really get those into office who understand the struggles, vulnerabilities, the wishes of our youth - and is willing to listen to the smallest of voices.
Embrace individuality, embrace uniqueness, embrace the power that YOU have inside of you to #RockTheVote and change our "Mad World" into a bond of people who love each other, and love the nation we've made for ourselves.
