The Bus Project registers new voters. They have neither a Democratic or Republican orientation - their motto is "not left, not right, but forward". They are focused on young voters with a hope and passion for the future, a better future. By 2015 it's estimated a third of voters will be young. There is a lot to do for democracies adapting to a changing world. Opportunity. Challenge. Voting creates optimism essential for getting into that psychic state termed by some "the zone". Voting for psychic survival!
The Bus Project is fun too, it's events include a mix of irreverence and play, balancing out the heavy lifting.
Tonight they convene at Roots brewery to watch the Democratic Convention finale. At 7 is Obama's acceptance speech. There will be games such as their phraseology bingo. Here's a bet that easy gridpoints will be the words "hope" and "change". Prizes!
One of the other Bus Project activities is training young people to run for office, or work as political/ government staffers. Their placement rate is excellent. They are always looking for volunteers! They have buses, which allows them to move the organizer party, now one of their buses in in Denver filled with costumed political activists learning how the convention works from inside. They are also selling their famous Vote F*cker! shirts, boxers and panties at the convention. Friends don't let friends not vote. Did I say they are having fun already?
