convert Republicans! Just get the people who are going to vote Democratic out to vote! I don't care how red the state or area is. It's going to be challenging enough to get the Demo voters to the polls!

2. Registration time is less than that,
In many states you to register 30 days prior to election and there are new rules in place in many states to prevent voting.

Be sure you are registered and be ready to present picture ID in some states. Also some states will match your driver address against your voter address.

Anything to prevent your voting. Be prepared.

3. You're absolutely RIGHT! That's how the RW has been winning!
THEY use wedge issues to piss off their followers enough to get them out the door on election day! I think our wedge issue should be "Get sour FREEDOM BACK!"

7. Good Plan
That'll send a lot of people - even those who don't normally vote Democrat - to the polls. I know I want my freedoms back. I never gave Emperor Dumbass permission to take them from me.

6. I'm with you brother - GOTV!!
Oh, carry a couple voter registration forms around, too. You'd be amazed how many people haven't ever even bothered to register.

8. Good plan -I gave up on the brainwashed many years ago
Although I give it a try from time to time I've never converted on. But- maybe a seed was planted here and there. And who knows, with all the 'Bushit' brand fertilizer being spread...

10. In AUGUST....make sure they call the registrar's office or GO there
and MAKE SURE THEY ARE ON THE LIST.. FIND OUT WHERE THEY ACTUALLY CAST THEIR BALLOTS...ASK FOR A MAP IF IT'S COMPLICATED..

Make sure they have good ID with correct information.. If NOT, HELP them get it.

It makes less than NO sense to kvetch about how they were turned away..AFTER they were not allowed to vote..

Forewarned is Forearmed.
