'A new campaign to encourage young Americans to vote on election day is using a novel incentive - sex pledges.'


'Voters who visit the Votergasm website can choose from three different levels of commitment:

- "Votergasm citizens" must pledge to withhold sex from non-voters for a week after election night

- "Patriot-level commitment" requires a voter to have sex with another voter on election night as well as withholding sex from non-voters for a week

- Those who take the most extreme pledge, called "American hero", commit themselves to having sex with another 2004 voter as well as turning down all non-voters until the 2008 vote.'

There have been quite serious articles on marriage and dating advice in our paper ,to get people through the elections with differing opnions under the same roof! I guess it can be a problem!

Yoda refuses to vote for anyone except possibly the lifeform who provides her food.

She will not (the vet assures me) have sex either; not sure i believe him.

She will sleep with anyone, regardless of gender, age, race, sexual orientation or political beliefs, so long as she is allowed to take up a space utterly disproportionate to her actual body measurements.

Vote Yoda!

That's really great! Thanks, Kaz!

I re-registered to vote (when I moved here 2 1/2 years ago, my Congressional district changed, which rendered my previous voter's registration null and void) a couple of weeks ago. We were out walking, looking for some place to have dinner, and there was a little kiosk out on the street corner where people could register. All I need to do is show up with my government issued photo ID, and I'm ready to rock the vote! And it's less than two weeks away!!

Well, its convinced me!

I can't wait to cast my ballot! It gonna be a close one, my god, people are split evenly.

Oh, and that is very funny Kaz, thanks for link.

I hope Kerry wins, but I was put off him when he said to vote for him, as he would be the leader of the US and the leader of the free world. Something like that anyway. He won't be my leader!
