Block the Vote!Democracy is not for everyone!
In the final month of the campaign season, we're launching a sophisticated effort to encourage the rabble to stay at home on election day and ensure that even if they hit the polls, their vote won't be counted. Called "Block the Vote", our nationwide campaign will both counter the insidious "get out the vote" efforts of various progressive organizations and celebrate the Republican-led vote suppression efforts underway in Florida, Michigan, and other battleground states.

ACTION SCENARIOS
SCENARIO 1 (voter mobilization emphasis)

The first Billionaire holds a sign that says:
TEACHERS [Long list of variations below]
Don't Vote, Nov. 2
Billionaires for Bush

LEAVE THE VOTING TO US.
Billionaires for Bush
Block the Vote Campaign
Some variations on the first sign:
TEACHERS
WOMEN 18-30

BAD CREDIT?
TROUBLED BY THE DEFICIT?
CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT?
MIDDLE CLASS?
DON'T THINK IRAQ IS GOING WELL?
UNINSURED?
MAKE LESS THAN $200,000?
LOST YOUR JOB?
SCENARIO 2 (voter mobilization emphasis)
Billionaires show up on a scene (see action locations), express outrage and concern that voters are learning their rights, and try to buy people’s votes with fake money. Tell them “leave the voting to us”, “democracy is not for everyone” and “thank you for keeping us in chrge by not voting.”
SCENARIO 3 (voter suppression emphasis)
Canvass wealthy neighborhoods trying to drum up support for voter suppression efforts. (should probably just be done as a media stunt a la candid camera – most people find canvassing tedious)
Other actions ideas
$ In order to vote, your stack of money must be this high [like entrance to an amusement-park ride]
$ Velvet rope around fake polling site: "This polling location reserved for Billionaires"
$ Parties at Diebold headquarters, office of Florida Secretary of State, and other allies
$ Protest Rock the Vote, ACT, MoveOn, and other efforts to get out the vote
