It seems lots of businesses are getting in on the action of offering freebies to people who vote tomorrow. Hopefully it won’t take the lure of freebies to get people out to vote, but if it helps, then so be it.
Below is a list of the freebies available in the southern California area. Please note that many of these offers are from national chains and also available nationwide. Many of these offers require showing an “I Voted” sticker, so be sure you pick one up and wear it if you live in states other than California. It actually is illegal in the state of California for companies to offer an incentive solely to voters as a way to entice people to vote. So, in California, these freebies are available to everyone whether you actually vote or not.

I know that regular readers of my blog know that my support is going to Senator Barack Obama. Regardless of how anyone chooses to vote tomorrow, just be sure to get out and vote. Be a part of the process. Let your voice be heard through your vote. We are so fortunate to live in a country where we do have a voice, so please don’t take it for granted or give away that right. Vote!
