Positive Reinforcement

It's such a pain to wake up, walk to your car and drive to the polling place. Then add the fact that you have to push buttons on an electronic voting machine or, even worse, fill out a paper ballet with a pencil, and then hand it over to someone.

Go through all that trouble and what do you get? A sticker? That's cool, but what else? I love a good sticker and all, but something with a little umph would help get out my vote.



Now we're talking. Vote, then mosey on over to your local Chick-fil-A and flash your brand new sticker and you can land yourself a free chicken sandwich, courtesy of those creepy cows.

If you give a voter a sandwich, he's going to need a drink. No problem.


Swing by Starbucks on the way home for a coffee, free of charge to voters.

Just another way capitalism helps democracy. Even if your guy (or gal, or both) loses, you'll still be encouraged to vote next year with the promise of free deep fried, over caffeinated foods. What could be more American?
