These people need to get the message about what's at stake if they don't get up off their behinds and vote!

1. Ad aimed at converting Romney voters are a waste of time.

The real target should be people who can't be bothered to get out and vote.

2. the best part is near the end: if they believe the election will be close and their vote will make a

difference, they are more likely to vote. Hope Dems. can use this info.

3. How does one find them?

I wish we could put a tshirt on them "I don't vote", to narrow down the scope.

4. Go door to door and ye will find them

8. I found people at the local community college to convince

You have to start a dialog, make sure also that they've registered by cut off dates.

5. Hmm..

I find it very difficult to believe that 90 million people in the USA
are unlikely to vote.

6. Do the math.

What is the average turnout, in numbers & percentage of the potential electorate.

90 mil sounds about right.

7. States refusing to give people voter ID cards

I fear that this is going to happen all over the country. Not only have the repubs created laws to stop people from voting, they are also making it impossible to get the ID cards needed to vote.


I found this article and was shocked and disgusted:"I could not register to vote: The voter identification mandate"

"Some months ago, I moved to Kansas. As is required, I went to the Department of Motor Vehicles to exchange my driver’s license for a Kansas license, to make record of my new address and to register to vote. In order to make certain I would cover every possibility, I simply grabbed what I call “my identity packet” which contains the following:

My birth certificate
My social security card and my last social security statement that projects my benefits
A passport
Current 1099’s
My current tax return
My insurance policy
My Dependent Care Packet (a notarized, exhaustive packet issued by the military to anyone who will be responsible for the care of military children in the event of disability or death of a soldier)

I have credit cards and debit cards
A current driver’s license and automobile registration
A picture ID issued by the United States Armed Forces
To verify my new address I took mail I had received, since my relocation from:

The utility company
The Telephone company
My rental lease
A registered letter from the Internal Revenue Service

I COULD NOT REGISTER TO VOTE!"
