Answer:

What is your problem ? i can be contacted at johnd_82@yahoo
Here's what you do: Run the thingy to that other thing. Make sure you don't forget that second step. When you're done, stop working. Then call an Electrician to fix what you did.
your outlet has 4 poles on it, 2 on each side, run the existing wires (black and white) to the top poles, black (+) on the brass side, then run your new wires from the bottom poles to the switch. when you get to the switch run the black wire to either pole of the switch, and continue your white wire to the new outlet, then tie a black wire to the other side of the new outlet and back to the switch. remember that outlets have polarity, hook the hot (black) to the brass side only. if you have any doubts obtain skilled help, you can get hurt very quick or start a fire if you haven't wired it correctly.
