Does anyone have info about "Declare Yourself"
They are registering students to vote & the
group was started by Norman Lear-
BUT CLEAR CHANNEL is a sponsor.

Could this be some sort of repuke voter fraud?

What do you think?


They have a copy of the Declaration of Independence & will show a video with Mel Gibson.

the web page says-

Declare Yourself is a strictly nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and does not support or endorse any political party or candidate.

1. my gut reaction is not to worry about it too much
Norman Lear has always been good at subversion, playing people for his own purposes.

& Clear Channel may have their own reasons for trying to get people registered but you have to take the bad with the good in a democracy.

2. Thanks.
I will try to check things out when they are in my town.
I've seen so many ugly repuke tricks in my time, I am paranoid.
Where is Dick Tuck now? We could use him, he drove Nixon crazy!
