Trick-or-Vote

Clinton Downs sent me an email about this upcoming Halloween event, which may just be the coolest way to spend Halloween for anyone over 15. Election Day is exactly a week after Halloween, so this is a great way to remind people to send in those ballots.

Clipped directly from the email:
If you love Halloween and/or democracy, the 31st will be your lucky day. Tuesday, October 31st, get out the vote by knocking on doors a week before the election deadline, on the one day of the year that folks are expecting a knock. Folks in Portland and Eugene are Trick-or-Voting on Sunday the 29th, but we're keeping it real here in Corvallis. Want to RSVP? More info? Costume advice? Email kriste.york@gmail.com

Details:
5:15 - 6:00 on the MU stairs at OSU for a costume contest judged by Rob Gandara and Charlie Tomlinson (our mayoral candidates), a quick training and a send-off from Congresswoman Darlene Hooley.

6:00 - 8:00 Scare up the vote in youth dense Corvallis neighborhoods.

8:00 Meet up at the Old World Deli for a few more prizes, some Cajun/Zydeco music from Corvallis' own Ron Ton Boulet, and tasty food and beverages.

Trick or Vote is a nonpartisan get-out-the-vote event. Please forward this on to anyone who thinks voting is sexy.

(As a side note, Blogger has been giving me fits all week. My gubernatorial endorsement from a couple days ago is missing. Hopefully this will be remedied shortly.)
