This link is not slashdotted.

Hey, enough talk already, GO SIGN UP!

o/~ it takes different strokes to rule the world o/~

As a USAian, I find the idea of the Norwegian registered address very offensive. I am free to travel and move around the country with no need to register my location with the government at any time.

Sure, there are specific registration I have no objection to. I register to vote; I register my car. But to be tracked for no specific reason, even if it does have the benefit of making voting easier, creeps me out big time.

If I got something in the mail, unprovoked, from the government letting me know they knew where I was and how long I'd been there, I would not think it very nice.

Anyway, getting registered to vote is sooooo easy and only needs to be done when there's a change in status (reaching voting age, change of residence) so it's not really a major issue.

Anyway, to get back on topic, I think VoteOrNot is great. I especially like they way more referrals give you a better chance to win. faq5 We absolutely need more people registering and more people voting.

So I was trying to be quick and funny and the result was getting "trolled". To bad there isn't a "Greedy" or "Unfunny" modifier.

I might as well and take this change to post what I really feel about this election and voting.

I hope this sweepstakes does promote people to make sure they are currently correctly registered and results in more people voting. I had moved before the last election and did not register and thus missed out on voting. And then I move again about 18 months ago, and it wasn't until this summer that I actually registered here at my new place.

And then this morning I realized that come November I am going to be out of state at the Macromedia MAX conference and I thought to myself "hey I need to looking into how to absentee vote". And low and behold Macromedia dedicated a page to links for every state on how to absentee vote.

I have since contacted my County Clerk and will be receiving my absentee ballot. It took my all of 5 minutes.

I personally am sick of 3rd party organizations like punkvoter.org trying to promote getting people to vote, but really they are just trying to get people to vote their way. I am glad that VOTEorNOT.org is not pushing an agenda, but just trying to get people to vote in general.

Use me =) I didn't have a referrer when I signed up, and I wasted a chance for someone. You won't decrease your chances of winning, you only increase my chances of sharing it with you... so to sweeten it for you, I'll give you an extra $5k if you win and I'm your referrer =)

So, yes, I'm a greedy whore, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong. =) So let's split $200,000

Now go sign up and tell your friends! We're getting infinite odds on the best contest ever! Sign people up to register to vote if you have to, but you can't go wrong with this contest!

cheers,

This is a great way to encourage people to take advantage of the democracy we have been blessed with (and most American's don't take advantage of). I think it's fair to say just about every american has some beef with the government - but if you don't vote you can't change that. So register to vote, do your homework, and get to the polls!!!

I wish that my registration link got Slashdotted.

In case you're wondering why they're doing this.
