Four months ago I decided to register 1,000 new voters for the General Elections. That was pretty tough. It’s been a while since my organizing days, and I guess I was a bit rusty. Anyway, I decided to get creative and have fun with it. I carried voter registration forms with me wherever I went – bars, parties, dinners, vacation – wherever. Registering people to vote at bars was fun, but not very practical. After a few soggy and illegible forms I gave the bar scene a break. I registered some folks at parties. That was okay, but people were more interested in dancing than stopping at a table. I registered a few people on vacation at Burning Man, but it’s hard to hold the attention of folks at Burning Man for long. I saw that I couldn’t do it alone. So I enlisted the help of friends. Friends started picking up forms in bulk. I then pretty much gave the project over to the brothers of Phi Sigma Chi Fraternity, who in turn teamed up with their campus NYPIRG chapter and registered well over 1,000 people. Ah, the power of delegation.
