I propose to give this article the zero amount of attention it deserves, and instead, to spend the comments talking about how to help get people out to vote.

I signed up yesterday with votefwd.org, and I'm planning on spending some time on it, as soon as they verify my signup. I've already turned in my ballot, but there's still time to motivate some other people, and influence the outcome that way.

Edit: Somebody reported my comment. "Spam or abuse." I think that means I'm doing something right. I downloaded my first packet of 5 letters to send out, but I don't think this is the most efficient way to have the impact I'm trying to have.

I'm going to send them out, but it feels like grabbing the voter registration data for registered Democrats in swing states, and randomly sending out hand-signed but machine-printed letters that I've crafted, is going to be a lot more efficient. That, I can do by the hundreds. I don't really know what I'm doing. Is there some other good way to do what I'm trying to do?

"Various organisations in Nazi Germany required their members to swear oaths to Adolf Hitler by name, rather than to the German state"
