21 Only Vote 3 Months Away

There is a story in the morning press briefing from the Iowa Press-Citizen, that is reminded those who wish to vote on the 21 only ordinance this November 6th, that you must be registered to vote by October 26th. I read on one of the comments below the story that there had been some mis-information, saying that there would be same day registeration allowed, and the person commenting wanted it known that it would not be the case, and to remind everyone to be registered by October 26th.

With the 21-ordinance vote less than three months away, Iowa City residents and University of Iowa students have launched campaigns to mobilize voters to oppose a measure they said would do more harm than good.

This is becoming a big issue and I think it will get a big turn out. There seems to be a lot of speculation that this issue will be defeated at the ballot box, but do not let this talk allow you to think that your vote is not needed, as complacency, and staying home on November 6th, could cause this ordinance to pass, as you can be sure the pro 21 people will be out in force.

We must insure that this ordinance is defeated by a large enough margin, so they will not bring it up again for a good long while. Let us also make sure that any councilmen or women who supported this ordinance also go down to defeat.

Go students!! 18 should be the legal drinking age again, as it surely is the legal dying age, for those who serve in the military!! You can fight and die for your country, but you cannot have a beer before you die, how pathetic, that our priorities are so screwed up!!
