Six Degrees of Voting 80
An anonymous reader writes "Received a link to SixDegreesOfVoting.com that is a new take on the Registration drive concept. From the Manifesto: 'if we make sure everyone we know is voting, and they make sure everyone they know is voting, and so on, wouldn't everyone be voting?' Match it with a nice flash map showing linked signups, it looks pretty cool (albeit leaning solidly to the left right now)."

I like your ideas. The fewer voters there are, the more my vote counts

In this election, a lot is a stake. The candidates are not even close on a lot of issues! Let's take a geek issue in bioscience. Stem Cell research. Kerry is for using stem cells harvested from an aborted human fetus. While Bush banned the harvesting of new cells from an aborted human fetus while allowing research to continue on current cell lines.
Based on the arguments made by John Kerry, one would think that human fetus stem cells are the only option. That's not true. Already, a man has had a new jaw bone grown on is should blade from a stem cell harvest from his own bone marrow.
I use this example to show you that by not voting you are letting someone else choose where research money is spent, and other tax money is spent. Consider other issues like riding our reliance on oil.

They're ALL gonna vote, because of the opposition to the Bushinista clique.
Republicans, discouraged by their choices will stay home...
