really stepping in it
Published Jul. 9, 2008I just went to the website for Run to Vote. It sounds like a fantastic experience for these young people however, it got me to thinking. I probably am overthinking this, I may be wrong but here goes anyway. Please, please don't "blackball" me if you disagree...If people need to be coerced, reminded, prompted to register to vote, is it really a good idea for them to be voting. I mean if they aren't on the ball enough to get registered, they probably don't know diddly about the issues except that maybe they want "change". Is is really in the country's best interest to have these unmotivated underachievers picking the leader of the free world.

Evil One...being the Mother of one of the Team Members I can truly say they are having a wonderful rewarding time out there meeting people. Not only were they taught what they were doing but many hours of research and work went into this project...they started in September mapping, researching, collecting all information on all, mapping the best route, Parents attended meeting to learn what was what and how things were going to work the what if's and more...it was not like Hey we are hitting the road and going to talk people into voting. Mr Williams and Mrs Hineline talked over a year about this among themselves. They are also learning History that makes the US what it is, Civics, meeting many people, etc. They are talking. And let me tell you that they know 100% of what they are talking about...even my own Daughter asked me why I am registered the way I am and I explained. I am very proud of this Team as many here are. One GOLOer joined me in a Parent
