******FFFFFFFFFFFFLLLAAAAAAMMME ON!!!!!!!!!!********
Twice in the past couple of weeks I have requested an application for an
absentee ballot.  Twice has that request fallen on deaf ears.  Now, thanks
to the miracle of U.S. Snail, my chances of being heard this November 6th,
barring my tossing a couple hundred bucks into an 1800 mile round trip to my
voting district, are slim and none.  Those commie-fascist smurf-loving bastards
in voter registration have finally taken away our rights to freely make
ourselves heard.  And I know this is the year that some utter prickhead gets
elected by one vote.
*****FLAME OFF.

I don't know about you, but I want to be heard.  So if you're apathetic enough
not to bother casting a vote, help a fellow American who's down on his luck.
Send me the list of candidates, propositions, etc. on your ballot, and I'll
make my selections.  Then this Tuesday, you punch them in, and we'll both
feel we've done our civic duty.  This shouldn't be illegal; consider me as a
well-regarded endorser.  Obviously, I would prefer it the closer to my home
district (state of Connecticut, 4th Congressional district, 138th legislative
district) you are.  I make no netwide endorsements except:  Vote out the
Registrar of Voters in the city of Norwalk whoever that may be!  (Don't worry
about more than one of you making that kind offer; I'll just be following that
old Chicago adage:  Vote Early And Often :-) )
