Exercise your right to vote -- and get a Krispy Kreme doughnut and Starbucks coffee. I became a U.S. citizen just last year, so this is the first time I’ve been able to vote in a presidential election. And of course, I will do so, even though there are times when I think I would rather have anyone in office other than the candidates who are running. To me, there are two issues that matter more than anything else: stop the war and fix the economy. In my view, these are fundamental issues and everything else is of secondary importance.Of course, as in any decision, things are more complex than that. So you have campaigns and platforms and advisors. And then you have all kinds of additional propositions on the ballot. So it’s not easy to figure out how to influence the things you care most about. But part of the responsibility in a democracy is to invest the time and judgement and do your best to improve things.So it seems odd to me that historically U.S. elections have had a low turnout at the polls. Maybe this year will be different. Or maybe we need to make the election more like “Dancing with the Candidates” to get more voters. (I think Guy Kawasaki has the right idea on this.) And I’m positively encouraged that in the true entrepreneurial spirit Starbucks and Krispy Kreme are stepping up to offer free coffee and donuts to voters. Depending on the outcome, maybe Budweiser and Coors should be offering free beer after the polls close. Did you vote? Open Source
