No time to waste

Hey Ohioans, are you sick of not having a job? Are you sick of losing friends and family in a bullshit "war" that's only creating new enemies and a more serious "terrorist" threat? Are you sick of leading a shitty life?

Then apply for your absentee ballot NOW!!! Right this minute. You have no time to waste.

If you live in Franklin County, visit this page on the Franklin County Board of Elections web site to get started. If you live in any other county in Ohio, go to this page, where you'll find either a URL or a phone number for your county's board of elections. If that doesn't help, go to this Google search results page and replace "XXXXXXXXXX" with the name of your county. Just do something. We can no longer afford our government's blatant corruption (especially in Ohio).

Here's why you need to vote absentee: 1) If you vote absentee, you might actually get to vote this time, unlike in 2004 when you stood in line for 2 hours before giving up and going home or going back to work (if you actually have a job); 2) Voting absentee leaves a paper trail, which will make it much more difficult for Ken Blackwell to rig his own election; 3) You absolutely cannot trust Diebold voting machines; 4) Absentee voting is not as difficult as you may have been told.

From the Franklin County Board of Elections web site:

Am I eligible to vote by absentee ballot?
A qualified Ohio voter does not have to state a reason to vote by an absentee ballot, although the ballot must be applied for in writing. If you are properly registered to vote, you must submit your written request to the board of elections of the county in which your voting residence is located. Your request must contain certain information and your original signature.

Interestingly, the Board of Elections has made it more difficult to vote absentee than it was in 2004. In 2004 you could request an absentee ballot online, which I did because I knew I would be in New York City on "Election" Day. Now you have to send a written request for an absentee ballot, which takes more time and effort than an online request.

You know why they're doing that? Because Ken Blackwell rigs elections for a living. He already made it almost impossible for non-Republican voters to get into the polls in 2004. In addition, he rigged the electronic voting machines, which is clear to anyone willing to spend a few minutes doing some research. (That's not a conspiracy theory; it's documented fact. Here's a starting point.) And now he's trying to take away the last viable option--absentee voting--for anyone who plans to vote against him.

One last thing: FOLLOW ALL THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY!!! Read the directions (or instructions) on the pages I've linked to. Read the directions on the pages you end up printing. And read the directions on your ballot when you receive it. Read the directions five times before you do anything. They are purposely confusing because some people don't want your vote to be counted. And if you don't follow the directions carefully, YOUR VOTE WILL NOT BE COUNTED!

THIS IS URGENT. YOU NEED TO REQUEST YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT TODAY BECAUSE THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS IS IN NO HURRY TO SEND IT TO YOU. IT MIGHT TAKE A MONTH OR LONGER BEFORE YOU RECEIVE IT. SO DO IT TODAY!!! FOR YOUR OWN SAKE.
