Latino Answer to "The Great Schlep"

Rosario Dawson debuted this video today on the Voto Latino Website that she describes as their answer to "The Great Schlep," Sarah Silverman's Webvid that called on Jewish grandkids to get to Florida to press their grandparents to vote for Obama.

This video is the fifth in a series of spoofs of telenovelas, the traditional soap opera format, with Dawson and Wilmer Valderrama as two lovers about to be wed by a priest, played by Perez Hilton.

Voto Latino says that their vids have received close to 100 million impressions, and they have registered 30,000 young Latinos since the beginning of the year.
