=**__Enticing The Vote__**=

The problems with voting have always been an issue in American History. The voters have always had complaints about location, time, and usage. Usage as in how it benefits the voters. Even worse is when people have been denied the right to vote because the people are different. Other problems are when votes are taken and then destroyed before they are tallied.

The solution to all these grievances is a simple one. If, for the week of voting, all the people in America were given a weeks vacation, there would be no reason not to go vote. To ensure no one votes twice or someone doesn’t vote at all, there will be a checklist so that all will vote. This will lessen, if not completely get rid of, all unhappiness with voting.

When voting, you will have your picture taken and your name checked off. Then you shall proceed to a platform and shout your views on all propositions and candidates. Afterwards your picture will be returned for tax day. When paying your taxes, show the picture as proof that you voted for 55% to be taken off your taxes. In cases where several people live in one home, you may choose between divvying up the percentages, or disregard one persons percentage altogether and be entered in the lottery with 100 lottery tickets, have your name on the waiting list for any three game shows of your choice, or a cruise anywhere on Earth.

The point of course is to get people interested in voting, so all these proposals were thought up by the people in areas with low voting percents. All the ideas were given careful consideration. Even with all these extra bonuses, voting may still be at an time low. Therefore, homeless people and convicts in jail will vote as well.

When the homeless vote, they will be given a home that has been seized by the government and they will be assisted in getting back on their feet. Every week a social worker will come to make sure the family or individual is doing all right and is being properly educated to function in the real world in any profession that they find appealing.

For convicts, especially those on death row, the want to vote, even when imprisoned, should be rewarded. Therefore, $1000.00 will be awarded to them for any luxury items they want, as well as the ability to play in amateur or professional sports. For those on death row, if they play a sport and are sorely needed, all crimes leading up to the death penalty, but not to imprisonment, will be waived aside. Of course no convict should be given life in prison, so henceforth all terms shall be ten years with a chance of parole after five years.

Obviously age brings wisdom,so all citizens over the age of 88 will be given all unclaimed votes. This should bring back all the good judgements from the past that made America great.

Despite the treasury collapse and lack of government funding these measures will create, they will be kept in use when installed. The only concern is that children might think that being a convict or homeless is desirable. To abolish that fear, the No Child Left-Out Act will be installed to have all children be uniform and educated.

To end, clearly these measures aren’t feasible. To enact such propositions would mean allowing all Americans to vote, and the IRS shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Unless the IRS Bill can be passed which banishes IRS agents to Transylvania, no votes will be taken. However, these measures, when installed, will hopefully make America a better nation where all Americans participate in politics and can shape a new way of life.
