[Vision2020] Confused about Moore/GOP

[Art Deco aka W. Fox]

All,

Excerpts:

LANSING, Mich. (AP) _Oct. 6, 2004 - Republicans say filmmaker Michael Moore 
should be prosecuted for offering underwear, potato chips and Ramen noodles to 
college students in exchange for their promise to vote.
During each program, habitual nonvoters are invited on stage to pledge to vote. 
First-time student voters are offered gag prizes such as clean underwear.

The GOP said it asked the prosecutors to charge Moore, a John Kerry supporter, 
with violating Michigan's election law, which prohibits a person from 
contracting with another for something of value in exchange for agreeing to 
vote.

I did not see in this article where Moore was giving gifts to solicit votes for 
a particular candidate or party -- only encouraging [bribing] people to vote.

Perhaps the GOP does not believe in student suffrage.
