Tell me true

Is it tacky to say "Go vote for X today" versus "Go vote today", when addressing a wide-ish audience?

Today I saw the latter, candidate-neutral message repeated by many friends who I know voted for X, and who hope that enough other people vote for X as well.

I tweeted "Please go vote for X if you care about Issue Y" today, before I saw any of my friends' posts. While several are in-line with me, enough others take the neutral tack that I semi-regret my overt stance...

"Please go vote for X if you care about Issue Y" seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. (And anyway, if someone reading cares differently about Issue Y than you, then they can also take it as a message to go vote for X instead.)
