Otis: How Pols Can Win My Vote

  • Website. And not just a “the system is broke, and I's-a gonna fix it!” site, tell us specifically WHAT'S wrong with it, and specifically HOW you're going to fix it.
  • Door hangers (or mailers). Fairly inexpensive, and a great way to direct potential voters to aforementioned site.
  • NO yard signs. Live in the now, people. And besides, many of them just end up as litter anyway… which REALLY turns me off. I mean… if you can't even take a trip around town to clean up stray campaign signs, how can we expect that you'll clean up anything else?
  • DO NOT call me. Ever.

Question: Can you add anything to Otis's list re: steps a politican can take to win your vote?
