“I get naked for Clean Air.”

October 28th, 2010 · No Comments

One of the most cost-effective paths toward expanding voter participation: vote by mail. This allows voters to “get naked” to participate in our democratic process.

The expense and challenges associated with running elections are well known. While there is something, truly, fundamentally satisfying for many of us in our public execution of a civic responsibility (do you were a “I voted” sticker?), this does face a crush of reality at times. I’ve been in circumstances where freak weather (ice storm) created risk in getting to the polling booth. There were those times where the line was long and the voting officials, well, not so competent leading to an extended wait while the work piled up at the office. “Vote by mail” and, well, those challenges disappear from the agenda.

The above video comes from Vote Naked Illinois and is rates as one of the most enjoyable non-partisan political ads that I’ve seen in awhile.
