Lack
of Voter Turn Out is THE PROBLEM.
74%
of U.S. did NOT vote for the squatter.
What would our world look like today if the 48% who didn't bother
to vote had voted.
Here's an idea that I
would like to see implemented in an effort to correct our imbalance of power;
shifting it back into the hands of "the people" where it belongs.
Because just
waving a flag does not make you patriotic, informed or a good citizen.
It's time to raise the bar.
Goal:
To register disenfranchised voters and encourage discussion about
Political issues and candidates by enrolling independently owned
businesses in a program that requires American citizens of legal voting
age to be registered to vote before being served by participating businesses.
Target Businesses:
Neighborhood bars and Independently owned coffee shops, bowling
alleys, etc.;
any business willing to participate; nationwide.
Logistics:
Voter registration and political pamphlets will be made available
to all participating establishments; along with a supply of PBP Cards,
to be used in gaining access to other participating businesses without
having to re-prove registration. Alternate uses of PBP Cards would be
to offer discounts or specials to PBP Card carriers in businesses that
choose to not participate fully. Signs and posters explaining the program,
it's goals and motivation will also be supplied.
Motivation:
The highest Presidential Election voter turnout since 1924 was
61.9% of eligible voters. So 32% is all anyone needs to be President.
That's Pathetic! Americans on all sides of the issues consider themselves
patriotic and not really represented by our government. Yet 40 - 60 %
of these Patriotic Americans do not participate in the most patriot duty
of any citizen of a Democracy. The only hope for We The People to be represented
by our government is to get everyone to vote.
If politicians
knew that everyone was paying attention, would not accept being lied to
and would vote them out; then I believe they would be much more responsive
to U.S.

are not registered or would like more info about why or how; Go

or if you would like to help make this idea a reality
