A Voters Weekend


Free Event Friday 5PM

Starts at 1520 Main, Royal Treatment Records, Zombie Bikes, and Burro Bags. Plenty of bike and other parking. Approachable from Main, next to Chan's Chinese. Pull in through promising blue business enterance sign through construction. Main St on the come back!

Pick up your free Obama/Biden sign. The real kind with wooden stakes. Hammer it in. You would have to be a McCainiac to kick these things.

Browse the record store, bike shop, and bag factory. Meet the management team.

Jay speaks at 6 for 15 minutes and hopefully will be avaialable for any questions you may have. He is running in a tighter than anticipated race. The Obama tidal wave may just help Jay do the impossible. It is hard to believe that an engineer and bio fuel producer, retired military pilot and small business owner is the underdog to an investment banker turned politician. I am not telling you who to vote for, just think that Main Street is not yet saved as predicted at the end of this article. Crenshaw has only missed 3% of his votes and has voted with his party 94% of the time.

At 6:15 ish we take the short walk down the historic dirt alley to some bar called Shantytown where the Return of the City hosts and Shantytown pub sponsor the first keg (AMERICAN).

Bike To Vote info:
We are just going to try to meet up and try to vote as a group, makes waiting in line and getting out and voting easier. We are going to meet at Zombie Bikes around 3pm (try to be there on time the election office closes at 5pm) and we're going to walk, drive, preferably bike 1.1miles to the Supervisors of Election Office on Monroe and vote. You will need a drivers license or photo id.

Directions from Zombie to Elections Office.

Why Early Vote?

1. By voting early you help out yourself. There will be no need for inordinate amounts of stress if something goes wrong on election day. Car trouble? Lost wallet? Extra work? Well, if you've voted early it's no worse than any other day. And, you avoid the long lines (and oh, will they be long)! This also frees up your time on election day if you must work/pick up the kids/anything at all.

2. By voting early you help other people out. Every election year democrats are forced to go to court to keep voting places open because lines are long and there just never seem to be enough poll workers. Or the republicans seem to have devoted too few resources to large democratic counties. By voting early, you can alleviate some of the strain on your polling place.

3.You can help the campaign out. If you vote early, you can spend election day volunteering (if you have the time). Making calls to GOTV, driving people to polling places, being a poll worker, etc.. Your work on election day will have a huge return on investment.

4.It's a lot harder for corrupt politicians to magic your vote away.

What do I need to vote early?

All you need to do is show up with your current photo and signature ID.
