The Apathetic Radical
("Not Really an Oxymoron, But Who Cares?") urges every American to "Vote Like You Care, Even If You Don't."

Does your polling location hand out, "I Voted Today" stickers after you voted? Last Presidential Election, my polling location didn't hand them out:( On Election Day, it's nice seeing folks with them around town.
-
(thom, yes they do. one of my friends put it on a shirt but when he peeled it off it left a weird permanent stain. uh-oh.)
-
I remember, a couple elections ago, one 70-something election official offered me a sticker with the words, "Would you like to shame your friends to come and vote?" And you know, it worked with at least two of them!
-
(there'd be more responses here but obviously everyone is being apathetic)
-
Not terribly apathetic - I even went Googling to see how much it would cost to print up a gross of BearGuy's stickers (av. price = $175)
-
$175?? USD? Tell you what, I'll make them for half that price. Maximum of two colors though, and the background has to be white. Now send me money. /Nostrildamus
-
yeah, but what are your international shipping costs? That's where I always get burned. Also, I couldn't believe how expensive it was, and think I was just not being thorough.
-
True 'nuff. Depending on the size, it can cost anywhere from 7 USD to 20 USD, I believe. I think I can squeeze 144 stickers into one of our regular sized parcels. You'd be surprised. Color printing, especially on good-quality paper can cost tons.
