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 :-) ) Ken Kaufman (uiucdcs!kaufman) "Lord knows, we need more statesmen."
