Build an Election Texting bot with Twilio, Node, and Cron

Intro

To celebrate the upcoming election, we decided to learn Twilio and make a passive aggressive texting bot to remind ourselves and our friends to go vote. In this video, we walk you through how to create some text messages and automatically text them via the Twilio api. Help spread the word about voting by using the power of code. See http://vote.org to check your voter registration.
