"MySpace's reach offers us an extraordinary opportunity to give millions of Americans, especially first-time voters, easy access to the political process," MySpace chief executive officer Chris DeWolfe said. "By partnering with Declare Yourself, we are continuing to empower our online community to make a positive impact on off-line communities across the country."
