Texas primaries

Today is the day of the primaries here in Texas. I encourage you to go out and make your voice heard if you're a registered voter. If you're not a registered voter, you should be. If you live in Houston, you can go to the website for the Tax Assessor-Collector for more information about registering to vote, or to find your precinct and polling location. Everyone who is over 17 years and 10 months is eligible to register to vote in Texas, and you must register at least 30 days prior to the election. So get ready for November! In order to encourage people to register to vote, I will give away a free mix cd of my choice to _everyone_ who sends me a photocopy of their voter registration card. This offer is good to anyone in the United States, regardless of age, political affiliation, or state of residence. I'm going to try to expand this offer in the future by contacting record labels and seeing if I can get them to donate stuff. I'll also sweeten the deal and give you an extra cd for every 10 people you encourage to register to vote as well (have them send me their voter registrations, and be sure to have them mention you). I reserve to right to retract or modify this offer at any time. I promise I will not use any personally identifying information from your voter registration for any use besides sending you a free cd. You have no obligation to actually vote, although I hope that you would choose to vote Bush the hell out of office. Here are a couple of places for information about registering: # Declare Yourself # Working For Change # Federal Election Commission So send me a photocopy of your voter registration!

  1. "I reserve to right to retract or modify this offer at any time."

    they tell us in law school that this makes the promise illusory, so it's not really an offer at all. heh. i'll send you a copy before you change your mind.

  2. The only reason I put that in there is because I have no idea how many people would actually send me their voter registrations. If 1,000 people participate, that's at a minimum 1,000 cds I need to buy CDRs for which would be what, about $250-$300? Although I would be thrilled, I'm still just a poor student...
