"How do you start motivating a lazy and apathetic public to learn about their candidates, and vote? Door-to-door campaigns? Talks at the local library? Grocery store posters?" Well, we could just tell them their lives would be much better under Kodos, rather than Kang. -TD

Thus spake Harmon Seaver (hseaver@cybershamanix.com) [26/04/04 19:25]: : And the local elections are no prime pickings either, it's crooks to the left : of us, crooks to the right of us, ahead and behind, above and below. Extremely : few real choices. The real problem is -- most people don't vote. What needs to : be done is a real grass roots effort to educate people and get them to vote.

So, how does one start a grass roots effort? I'm Canuck, and I'm not exactly impressed with this year's pickings up North. My last vote was a vote /against/ the in-office party, not for the party I'd like to see in office.

How do you start motivating a lazy and apathetic public to learn about their candidates, and vote? Door-to-door campaigns? Talks at the local library? Grocery store posters?
