register a voter, don't register your resignation (SHORT rant!)
after reading the latest piece of I GIVE UP IT'S ALL OVER chimpshit on this forum, I'd like to state:

take it somewhere else! your despair it a goblet of virgin BLOOD to Rove and the cabal. they bathe in it. they bring themselves to righteous orgasms of self-righteous contempt for the masses they are exploiting and destroying for their 'base'

are the cablewhores pissing on your anger? are you afraid you'll be voted off Surviror: Politics if you don't swallow the shit and give thanks for the peanut butter?

are you apologizing for your DISSENT and lifting your kool-ade cup and begging: please sir, I want some more!

on DU, to a point, I understand you have the freedom to dump your latest defeatest colon_load on the kitchen table whenever you want...

but I'm not swallowing the swill you're servicing. I think of DU as a PROGRESSIVE board... something that strives to look FORWARD.

the indulgent pity-party that too many here indulge in is just WRONG. and a gift to those we SO need to defeat....

/rant

1. my wife and I

have registered a couple dozen. I doubt they are all Democrats but Arlington County is very heavily Democratic so I am guessing most of the new voters are too.



Contact your local League of Women's voters. It's not hard for MOST* people to find a morning or an afternoon to help.

Not trying to brag, I just want to encourage other DUers to get involved as well. I was reluctant (im very much an introvert) and I enjoyed it!


* I added the "most" cause I know some folks ARE too busy, single moms with 6 kids, etcs.

3. And Make Sure the Paper is EXACTLY the Right Weight and Thickness and...
...the ink is EXACTLY the right color or they'll throw our registrations out,
and we'll be worse off than if you didn't even try, because now somebody
thinks he's already registered and probably won't get the bad news until
he tries to vote and gets turned away.x(

Everything we do has to be absolutely perfect!
