Don't want to make a personal appearance at the polling place? I so hear that. Here's general information on voting absentee.

Working during voting hours? Your boss will probably let you go for a few hours, mostly 'cause they have to according to state law. You can check out your state's laws here.

Are you an American girl in Paris (or anywhere else abroad)? Here's the skinny, Minnie.

May 12, 2004

I rolled out of bed this morning and read something more disheartening than finding out that although he's gorgeous, he's not so bright: Single women are the biggest group that doesn't vote -- 16 million of us aren't even registered and the 22 million who are skipped the last election.

Now you know I'm more about pleasure-seeking than political activism, but single women not using their voice? Not such a pleasure.

After I had my cup of coffee (okay, my pot of coffee), I decided to use the extreme popularity of DatingAmy.com for something other than self-aggrandizement and tormenting men.

I've started something I'm calling Suffragette City -- it will at least be this page on my web site if not a national happening.

My mission for the next five months is to get single women to register and vote. The angle I'm taking is that voting is sexy and fun. My vision for the campaign includes a street team wearing red feather boas, fundraising parties where drinks are served by firemen in uniform, and, of course, lots of press.

The news reports say that single women don't vote because they think they don't matter. Please! Any polling site would be lucky to have us grace it with our presence, even just for a few moments. I want everyone out of that mindset and into a voting booth, pronto.
