Record Registration

State officials are beginning to report on voter registration numbers and the numbers are amazing. In Oklahoma where they are projecting record participation, even 52 year old Voter Virgins are feeling empowered to cast their ballot. Apartment landlords in LA are making sure their tenets get registration cards so they can vote in November. In New York City today is officially "Voter Registration Day". Even strip clubs weary of John Ashcroft's war against porn are signing up patrons to vote. A variety of events such as concerts, movies, cocktail hours, waxing parties, and street recruiting appear to be making history with their registration drives. Here at VoterVirgin we salute and support all the hard work going on out there. Clearly everybody's doin' it in '04!
