A way to make the act of voting fun...


I have been thinking about this, and does anyone here have any ideas of ways to make the act of voting fun?

Sort of a creating a fad around it. Something for the Dean camp to tackle, maybe like some sort of celebratory thing to make the act of voting more of a exciting thing.

Something that people can look forward to. So that they can't wait to get to the polls to vote GW out of office.

Something really fun...any suggestions?

Let's get creative!

1. I think just the act of voting Bush out of office........
is reason enough to want to get to the polls.

I plan on sleeping on the sidewalk so that I can be first in line.

2. how about a game of
"Two minutes in the voting booth"? :evilgrin:

Or, instead of handing out "I voted today" stickers, pass out condoms. ;)

3. Comedian David Cross has a good point about this...
"It's pretty galling that I know people will wait in line for a weekend to see a f*ckin' movie that's gonna be there for three months, but won't wait in line for 12 minutes to vote."


We shouldn't have to make it fun...as someone already mentioned...knowing your voting is helping to oust Chimpy & friends is as much fun as I could have...

5. lots of people don't see any difference between the candidates.
That's why so many don't vote.
