Glennalicious: Ralph Nader is out to get me

Ralph Nader is out to get me

I bet he's tampering with seatbelts, too. He is such a spoiler! I've become involved with a group of teachers in my school trying to register/motivate voters in my neighborhood. A new guy, Ron Clinton, is trying to become the next senator to our state assembly, and this district hinges on a very small number of voters. Apathy is huge in this area, and also at that little focal point of hipsterdom, the Bedford stop. In the last local election, only 100 people within a ten block radius of that stop actually voted.

Last time I voted, there was a snafu because they didn't get my change from the Green party to the Democratic party. Ralph helped me to realize that I have to work within the system. I had to vote by affidavit and apply again for a change to the Democratic party. Apparently Ralph wants me so bad, he somehow has STILL prevented me from switching, as I just discovered from the dimwit at the voting board.

Quite a few people here in NYC will need to vote on September 14 to effect real change on the local level. Go to their website that even has phone numbers, find out your info, and vote. If I see anyone protesting the RNC without some form of voter identification, I'm snapping hip little necks.
